 ABSTRACT

The experiment was conducted at Horticulture Research Farm, Dhampur, Bijnor during rabi season of 2019-20. In the present investigation 21 genotypes of garlic (Allium sativum L.) were evaluated in RBD with the objective of estimating the genetic variability and determination of association among different attributes with each other and with bulb yield. Analysis of variance for design of experiment revealed that there is the weight of fresh bulbs had highly significant and positive correlation with plant equatorial diameter, weight of dry bulbs, leaf length, sulphur contain indicated that selection for these traits would be effective for the improvement of yield (q/ha). The maximum positive direct effect on yield (q/ha) was exerted by number of cloves/bulb, leaf width, polar diameter, plant height (cm), height of pseudo stem, total soluble solid, protein(%), plant pseudo stem diameter, width of leaf and number of leaves/plant. It is suggested that selection for these traits will directly increase yield (q/ha).

Keywords: Garlic, Variability, Correlation, RBD, Allium sativum.
