valuation of garlic (Allium sativum L.) genotypes for growth and yield under Northern zone of Karnataka

Abstract

The present investigation on performance of garlic (Allium sativum L.) genotypes for growth and yield attributesunder Northern zone of Karnataka was carried out at Main Agricultural Research Station, UAS, Dharwad, Karnataka duringrabi, 2020-21. Twenty five genotypes were evaluated and laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Meanperformance showed highly significant differences for all the growth and yield parameters of garlic genotypes. Among allthe treatments, Gulbarga local registered maximum growth parameters like plant height (68.57 cm), leaf length (53.23 cm),fresh weight of plant (189 g), dry weight of plant (123.67 g) and maximum yield parameters like polar diameter of bulb(36.32 mm), equatorial diameter of bulb (43.10 mm), average bulb weight (28.07 g), clove length (2.67 cm), clove width(2.03 cm), hundred clove weight (147.18 g) and bulb yield per hectare (6.39 t/ha).
