Allicin, one of the most important flavor compounds in garlic bulbs, is affected by genotypic characteristics modified by ontogenesis, environmental conditions, fertilization practices, and storage duration. Therefore, the effects of fertilization practices and cultivar on garlic yield and allicin content in garlic bulbs were evaluated at harvest and during storage. One autochthonous (Ptujski spomladanski) and three commercial cultivars (Garcua, Gardacho, and Gardos) were used, and three fertilization treatments (N90S0 - 90 kg N ha-1, N90S60 - 90 kg N ha-1 +60 kg S ha-1, and N0S0 - control) were performed during two growing seasons. After the harvest, 32 bulbs per …
