Association of bulb yield and its attributing traits under different environments in garlic (Allium sativum L.)

2017 
Fifteen genotypes of garlic were grown under seven environments. these environments were created by different dose of organic and inorganic fertilizers. Correlation coefficients among yield and its contributing traits were estimated for each environment. Significant positive association of bulb yield was observed with bulb diameter and leaf length in all the environments. the results also revealed that plant height, number of leaves per plant and number of cloves per bulb showed significant positive correlation with yield. Bulb diameter, bulb weight and number of cloves were positively correlated with each other over all the environments. the study has revealed the importance of bigger cloves, thick, broad and flat leaves during selection to achieve maximum efficiency during selection for yield improvement with enhanced probability to develop genotype with lesser susceptibility to pests and diseases.
