Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out during 2020-21 at Agriculture Farm, Ranjit Singh Memorial Post Graduate College, Dhampur, Bijnor, affiliated with Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Rohilkhand University, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India. The investigation was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. The treatment consisted of 21 cultivars of Garlic. Observations were recorded on vegetative attributes The mean squares due to genotypes were highly significant for all the characters. The higher magnitude of variability character association and path analysis at phenotypic as well as genotypic levels observed for diameter of bulb, length of clove, bulb yield per plant and number of cloves per bulb, suggesting additive gene action. Moderate pathanalysis at phenotypic as well as genotypic level observed in case of plant height, length of leaf and neck thickness. High variability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for diameter of bulb and bulb yield per plant. This indicates that these traits were less in" uenced by environment under Dhampur condition.
