Abstract	To cope with the current water shortage, it is necessary to adopt water-saving agriculture countermeasures. Hence, this experiment was conducted to study the effect of deficit irrigation on yield and water productivity of garlic under drip irrigation and mulching. The experiment was laid out using factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design with three replications. The first factor was three different water application levels as 100%, 80% and 60% of ETc (Crop evapotranpiration) and the second factor was two levels of mulch as wheat straw mulch and no mulch. Mean values of yield showed that 100 % ETc and 80 % ETc irrigation levels provided higher values of total and marketable yield which was significantly different from 60 % ETc treatments. The analysis of variance revealed that there was also a significant difference on yields between wheat straw mulch and no mulch treatments. Mean bulb weight and mean clove weight of garlic responded highly significantly to the effects of both irrigation levels and mulching (P < .01). On the other hand, there was a significant difference on water productivity values under different irrigation application levels and wheat straw mulch and no mulch treatments. Based on the findings of this research, application of 80%ETc could be suggested to generate comparable garlic yield to that of full irrigation and Wheat straw mulch can be effectively used to save water in order to harvest improved yield.
