The plant density in the garlic crop production is an important factor in the growth and yield. The garlic densities can be determined by the distance between plants within each row and by the arrangement of rows in the bed. The garlic is cultivated in Rio Grande do Sul in single or double rows, with spacings ranging from 8 to 12 cm between plants. The aim of this work was to evaluate the growth and yield of garlic São Valentin according the plant density defined by the arrangement of the rows and spacing between plants within the rows. The experimental factors studied were row arrangement (single and double rows) and plant spacing in the row (6, 8, 10 and 12 cm). In the conditions of the work was carried out and with the results obtained, it can be concluded that: double rows provide greater growth and yield in garlic; the yield is increases with high garlic density; higher densities provide low quality of yield in terms of bulb classification; the recommended density is between 8 and 10 cm in the row and double rows in the bed to obtain productivities and quality of the adequate production.
