Abstract: A field experiment was carried out on Chinese garlic (Allium sativum L.) with three replications and nine treatments in the experimental agriculture station of National Research Centre at Nobaria, Egypt to find out the efficacy of different combination of foliar application of potassium fertilizer (K 38%) at (0, 1 and 2 cm/l).with three levels of nitrogen fertilizers (100% N, 75%N+25% bio potassium and 50% N+ 50% bio potassium) in its growth, yield and yield attributes. Results strongly showed that the addition of the highest level of N fertilizers (100%) improved plant growth, fruit yield, physical and chemical characters of garlic plants.In the same respect, the highest level of foliar spry of potassium (2 cm/l) gave significantly the best growth characters, total bulbs yield, physical and chemical quality of garlic bulb.The interaction between foliar application of potassium and N fertilizers levels had no significant effect on all studied characters.
