The study investigated the effect of growth substances on the storage life of garlic conducted during the year 2022-2023 at the Department of Vegetable Science, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. Ten pre-harvest treatments including Cycocel at 500, 1000, and 1500 ppm; Brassinolide at 0.25, 0.50, and 1.00 ppm; and Paclobutrazol at 500, 1000 and 1500 ppm; and a control treatment, all replicated thrice in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) were sprayed 20 and 30 days before the harvest of a garlic crop. Among the treatments, minimum physiological loss in weight (19.42 %), sprouting (0.57 %), total losses (34.82 %) and maximum Marketable bulbs (65.18 %) were obtained with the pre harvest spray of T2 (CCC @ 1000) ppm after six months of storage study. Notably, the CCC at 1000 ppm treatment minimized storage losses as compared to the control, effectively maintaining the post-harvest quality of garlic.
