Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The present research was carried out at the Alliums Field Laboratory, Horticulture Farm and laboratory of the BAU-Germplasm Centre, Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, during the period from September 2003 to April 2004 to assess the performances of 20 selected garlic germplasm under dry land condition. The single-factor experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications.. The results revealed that the plant height, number of leaves per plant, fresh and dry weight of bulb, length and diameter of bulb, total number of cloves, yield per plot and yield per hectare were significantly influenced by the treatment of the experiments under study. Results showed that among different germplasm, germplasm G₁₉was the best for yield and other yield related parameters.

Keywords: Garlic, Germplasm, Dry land condition

Location: Allium Field Laboratory and Laboratory of the BAU-Germplasm Centre, Horticulture Farm, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh

Start Date: 00-09-2003

End Date: 00-04-2004

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Garlic

Objectives:

1. Performance of selected germplasm was evaluated for its conservation and cultivation in Bangladesh condition.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at the Allium Field Laboratory and Laboratory of the BAU-Germplasm Centre, Horticulture Farm, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during September 2003 to April 2004. The single-factor experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications. Twelve accessions of garlic two from each location viz. Nilphamari (G₁ & G₂), Dinajpur (G₃ & G₄), Ishurdi (G₅ &G₆), Magura (G₇ &G₈), Meherpur (G₉ & G₁₀) and Mymensingh (G₁₁ & G₁₂) district, four accessions (G₁₃ to G₁₆) from different research institute of Bangladesh and four accessions (G₁₇ to G₂₀) collected from India were used as the planting materials. The selected 20 garlic germplasm were considered as the treatments of the experiment. Details of experiment Unit plot size: 37 m x 1m ; Plant spacing: 20 cm x 10 cm; Total number of unit plots: 20 x 3 = 60;Total number of plants per plot = 1850; Date of planting: 9 Nov, 2003; Date of harvesting: 30 March, 2004. Data were recorded on i) Height of plant ii) No. of leaves per plant iii) Fresh weight of leaves per plant iv) Fresh weight of bulb v) Fresh weight of roots per plant vi) Dry weight of leaves per plant vii) Dry weight of bulb viii) Dry weight of roots per plant ix) Diameter of bulb x) Length of bulb xi) No. of cloves per bulb xii) Yield of bulb per plot and xiii) Yield of bulb per hectare.

Achievement/Findings:

Different germplasm resulted better performance in respect of height of plant, number of leaves per plant, fresh weight of bulb, length +diameter of bulb, total number of cloves per bulb, yield per plot and yield in ton per hectare. Germplasm G₁₉ gave the highest results in all the mentioned parameters. This might be due to the fact that germplasm G₁₉ and G₂ had a good genetic potential which enhanced more cell division and cell elongation resulting best performance.
