Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Evaluation of different garlic (Allium sativum L.) mutant lines for growth, yield and quality under Chhattisgarh plains condition.” was carried out at Research cum Demonstration Farm, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.) – 492012 during Rabi season of 2021-2022. Experiment was laid out in Randomized block design and was replicated thrice with 21 mutant lines. Data were analysed to work out performance of mutant lines. The character taken under study include plant height (cm), number of leaves, collar height (cm), collar thickness (cm), fourth leaf length (cm), fourth leaf width (cm), polar diameter (cm), equatorial diameter (cm), neck thickness (cm), number of cloves, average weight of bulb (g), TSS, days to maturity, weight of ten outer cloves (g), marketable yield (t ha^-1), total yield (t ha^-1). Mean performance of character under study revealed that IG M-2021-1, IG M-2021-16 were found promising for cultivation under Chhattisgarh plain condition. They recorded maximum marketable yield (t ha^-1), total bulb yield (t ha^-1) coupled with high equatorial and polar diameter.
