Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was carried out to find the effect of seed clove size on growth and yield of two lines of garlic under dry land condition at BAU, Mymensingh during 2005 to 2006. The two-factor experiment had 3 clove sizes (large-1.22g, medium -1.04 g and small -0.76 g) and 2 garlic lines: G2 and G19. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 4 replications. Yield and yield contributing characters were found to be highest in garlic lines G19. The highest yield (17.27 t/ha) was obtained from garlic line G19 followed by garlic line G2 (13.18 t/ha). Seed clove size had significant influence on all the growth and yield parameters. Higher yield was also recorded from large sized clove (16.87t/ha) than that of medium (15.69t/ha) and small (13.10 t/ha) ones. The combined effect of garlic lines and seed clove size revealed significant variation in bulb yield and various yield components. The treatment combination of garlic line G19 and use of large size clove produced the highest yield (17.27 t/ha) and treatment combination of garlic line G2 and small sized clove gave the lowest yield (13.18 t/ha).

Start Date: 00-00-2005

End Date: 00-00-2006

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Garlic

Objectives:

1. To develop garlic varieties through selection, and to find out the economic size of seed clove for garlic.

Methodology:

The present research work was conducted at the Spice Research Centre of Bogra during 2005 to 2006. The 2-factor experiment had 3 clove sizes (large - 1.22g, medium - 1.04 g and small - 0.76 g) and 2 garlic lines: G2 and G19, (The garlic lines were collected from ARMP project, Department of Horticulture, BAU, Mymensingh). The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 4 replications. The garlic lines collected from the ARMP project, Department of Horticulture, BAU, Mymensingh. The unit plot size were 1.5m x 1m; plant spacing: 20 cm x 10 cm; total number of treatments: 3 x2 = 6; Total number of unit plots: 6x4 = 24; Total number of plants per plot = 75; Date of planting: 9 Nov, 2005; Date of harvesting: 29 March, 2006. Data were recorded on yield and yield contributing characters on height of plant, no. of leaves per plant, fresh weight of bulb diameter of bulb, length of bulb, no. of cloves per bulb, yield of bulb per plot and yield of bulb per hectare. The difference between the treatment means was judged by Least Significance Test (LSD).

Achievement/Findings:

Garlic line G19 and large size clove (1.22g) produce the maximum yield and also show the best performance in respect of all the yield contributing characters studied .So garlic lines G19 and large sized clove may be used in garlic production to get maximum yield.
