Assessment of Morphological Variation in Garlic (Allium sativum L.) Germplasm Based on Morpho-Agronomic Traits

An experiment was conducted with 53 garlic cultivars at Horticultural Research Centre (HRC) of SVPUA&T, Meerut, UP, India during the year 2013-14. Results on different growth characters showed that cultivar Roshni Mota exhibited the maximum plant height and Bhima Omkar gave maximum number of leaves per plant while cultivar CL Lamba produced maximum leaf length and cultivar PG-20 resulted in maximum leaf width. In regards to the yield characters, PG-20 gave maximum bulb weight, while Jawa exhibited maximum bulb diameter and clove weight, while cultivar F-2-R gave maximum number of cloves per bulb.
