Abstract
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is an important bulb vegetable produced and consumed in Brazil. However, several factors can influence the development of culture in the field and disrupting production. This study aimed, in three trials, to evaluate the treatment of garlic cloves, cultivar Cacador, in aqueous suspension containing cupric acetate (2 g L-1), oxytetracyline (2 g L-1) and water (control), for 30 min, before planting, on the occurrence of bacterial streak, development and plant production, under field conditions. The results showed a low incidence of bacterial streak in all treatments, due not favorable climatic conditions for the occurrence of the disease in the field. Garlic plants from cloves treated with cupric acetate showed development and production similar to the control, while those from cloves treated with oxytetracycline presented phytotoxicity (short stature, fewer leaves, smaller bulbs with lower weight and production per plot). Key words: cupric acetate, Allium sativum, oxytetracycline.
