Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is widely used as a seasoning around the world. Aomori prefecture reached an approximately 70% share of the garlic production in Japan. Recently, agricultural industry is faced with big problem with human resource shortages and aging of the farmer. Additionally, the interest for food safety have been increasing with organic vegetables without use of any pesticides. In response to these issues, full control hydroponic cultivation systems are useful with less human resource and pesticide-free production under controlled cultivation environment. However, hydroponic culture for garlic cultivation is not established yet. In this study, we demonstrated hydroponic culture of garlic without use of any pesticides. As a result, hydroponic culture showed fast growing rate compared soil culture.
