Agriculture assumes a crucial role in the economy and food security of Pakistan, as it generates substantial contributions to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In addition to prominent cash crops, a diverse range of vegetables and fruits, such as garlic, hold significant economic importance. Traditionally, garlic is sown using manual labor which results in wastage of cash and time. Therefore, there is a need for a mechanized solution for this problem. Although garlic planters have already been developed in Pakistan however performance of the planters has not been assessed in terms of draft force, planting efficiency, missing- and multiple-index and economic feasibility. In this study, performance of a 5-row tractor-mounted garlic planter, developed at Agricultural Mechanization Research Institute (AMRI), was experimentally assessed. According to the assessment results, maximum draft force of the planter was 5.0 kN and planting efficiency of the planter was relatively higher (i.e., 88% efficiency) at higher hopper capacity (i.e., 75% capacity). Additionally, missing was observed at lower hopper capacity (i.e., 25%) in terms of lesser number of plants in a line. Although, multiple-index was higher at higher hopper capacity (i.e., 75%) however the number of plants were also appreciably higher (up to 26 plants per line). The machine saved 10,350 PKR/acre with 62 hour/acre time saving when compared with the manual labor.
