Abstract:
An investigation was carried out at Dr. YSRHU- College of Horticulture, Anantharajupeta, Andhra Pradesh, during rabi season, 2022-2023 to evaluate twenty-eight garlic genotypes in Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh. The genotypes were replicated in Randomized Block Design. On the basis of mean performance, Yamuna Safed 2 was found to be the best. Yamuna Safed-2 recorded significantly maximum bulb yield which was found to be statistically on par with Yamuna Purple-10 followed by Yamuna Safed, DOGR-681 and DOGR-253. High bulb weight, clove weight, bulb diameter, clove length, leaf length, plant height, and neck thickness were recorded in Yamuna Safed-2, Yamuna Purple-10, Yamuna Safed, DOGR-681 and DOGR-253 genotypes. Analysis of variance results revealed existence of high degree of variability among the germplasm.
