The research was done to analyze the yield and attributing traits of garlic influenced by spacing and mulch. It consisted 9 treatments with different types of mulch and spacing viz; T0 (Control), T1 (Straw with 15x15cm), T2 (Straw with 10x5cm), T3 (FYM with 15x15cm), T4 (FYM with 10x5cm), T5 (White mulch with 15x15cm), T6 (white mulch with 10x5cm), T7 (Black mulch with 15x15cm), T8 (black mulch with 10x5cm) in Shankar variety. The experiment was carried out at Lovely Professional University, Punjab in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Highly significant difference was found for neck diameter (cm), fresh bulb weight (kg), dry bulb weight (kg), cloves bulb-1 and bulb yield (q/ha). White mulch with 10x5cm influenced fresh bulb weight (3.82kg), dry bulb weight and bulb yield (q/ha). Maximum neck diameter and cloves bulb-1 were obtained with FYM and 15x15cm. Therefore, it is suggested that planting of garlic with white mulch and with 15cm intra row spacing and FYM as mulch with 15×15cm produces the highest bulb yield and attributing traits of garlic.
