Evaluation of some garlic (Allium sativum L.) germplasm for their suitability in north Bihar condition
Author(s): Udit Kumar and BM Sinha
Abstract: The present investigation was carried out to screen the 21 genotypes of garlic for plant growth, yield and yield contributing parameter under field condition for two consecutive years. Attempt has been made to assess the genetic variation for plant architecture, yield traits of garlic germplasm. Results of two years pooled data revealed that genotypes had a great extent of influence on plant growth behavior and yield attributing traits. Among the 21 genotypes, RAUG-4 observed as the tallest plant having maximum number of leaves, however, RAUG-5 had the ability to complete their life cycle at a shortest period and potent to produce larger size of bulb along with maximum marketable as well as total yield. The plants with medium height bearing sizeable number of leaves with a rapid growth, quickly to harvest photo radiation and accumulated photosynthates into the economic part (cloves) at a better way. Besides the superior genotypes, RAUG-5 and RAUG-16 pertaining to yield accessions RAUG-12, RAUG-7, RAUG-15 and RAUG-4 were moderate yielder and might be considered as a promising candidates. However, the genotype RAUG-1, RAUG-2, RAUG-3, RAUG-6 RAUG-10, RAUG-14 RAUG-17 exhibited somewhat lower performance (45- 70 q/ha) while accession RAUG-8, RAUG-9, RAUG-11, RAUG-18 RAUG-19 and RAUG-20 depicted as poor yielder.
