 ABSTRACT

An experiment was carried out at Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture, Kolar on evaluation of twenty six garlic genotypes for the yield attributes and storage behavior during Rabi season of 2016-17 by adopting RCBD with two replications. The sowing of garlic cloves was done in beds of 2.0 m x 1.5 m (3m2 area) size at a spacing of 15 cm x 10 cm in last week of September, 2016. The maximum plant height was recorded in Yamuna Safed-9 (70.44 cm) and maximum number of leaves per plant was recorded in Yamuna Safed-3 (9.60). The bulb yield per hectare was highest in Yamuna Safed-3 (14.51 t/ha) and lowest in check DWG-1 (4.25 t/ha).The storage behavior of different genotypes revealed that three months after storage minimum PLW and total loss at yield were noticed in GRS-1328 (7.98 and 9.81%) followed by GRS-1345 (10.13 and 11.15 %) respectively. 

Key words: Yield, PLW, Total loss, Storage
