Description	308This chapter discusses the performance of microirrigated garlic (Allium sativum L.). Results in this study indicate that microirrigation system significantly improved growth, quality, yield, and WUE of garlic under Raichur conditions. This chapter discusses the performance of microirrigated garlic. It indicates that microirrigation system significantly improved growth, quality, yield, and water use efficiency of garlic under Raichur conditions. Garlic is a strongly aromatic bulb crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years. In garlic, flood irrigation is widely practiced in India, which results in inefficient use of irrigation water due to losses in deep percolation, distribution, and evaporation. Microirrigation is the frequent application of water directly on or below the soil surface near the root zone of plants. It delivers required and measured quantity of water in relatively small amounts slowly to the individual or groups of plants. Water is applied as continuous drops, tiny streams, or fine spray through emitters placed along a low-pressure delivery system. Drip irrigation is the most effective way to convey direct water and nutrients to plants, and not only save water but also increases yields of vegetable crops.
