Abstract: This study investigates the impact of zero tillage and rice straw mulch on the growth and productivity of garlic (
Allium sativum). The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of these sustainable agricultural practices on garlic yield, soil health, and weed suppression. Results indicated that zero tillage combined with rice straw mulch significantly enhanced garlic growth, increased yield, improved soil moisture retention, and reduced weed density. These findings suggest that integrating zero tillage with rice straw mulch can be a viable strategy for sustainable garlic production.
