Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted to performance study of collected germplasm of garlic in different dates of planting at the Horticulture Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from October 1997 to April 1998. The objective of the work was to observe the performance of different local and exotic germplasm of garlic in different dates of planting and to get maximum yield of garlic. There were two planting time viz. October and November 30 and ten germplasm were Natore (G₁), Dhaka, Keraniganj (G₂), Syedpur (G₃), Pabna (G₄), Faridpur Tripple clove (G₅), Jamalpur (G₆), Faridpur Single clove (G₇), Kishoreganj (G₈), China (G₉) and Australia (G₁₀) were used as the experimental treatments. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. With the delay in planting time from Oct 30 yield was reduced in later plantings. The highest bulb yield (8.56 t ha^-1) was recorded when planting was done on October 30. The lowest yield was obtained from November 30 (3.96 t ha^-1) planting. Germplasm G1 yielded (8.52 t ha^-1) best followed by G₂ (8.43), G₇(7.35) and G₃(7.29), respectively. The lowest yield (4.53) was obtained from Germplasm G₈. Among 2 exotic germplasm (China and Australia) failed to form bulb. It may be concluded that early planting with local germplasm G₁ and G₂ is the best to get maximum yield of garlic.

Keywords: Garlic, Planting time, Germplasm, Yield

Location: Horticulture Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh

Start Date: 00-10-1997

End Date: 00-04-1998

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Garlic

Objectives:

To observe the performance of different local and exotic germplasm of garlic in different dates of planting.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during October, 1997 to April, 1998 with 2 exotic and 8 local germplasm of garlic planting at two different dates. The experimental planting dates were October 30 and November 30 and ten germplasm were Natore (G₁), Dhaka, Keraniganj (G₂), Syedpur (G₃), Pabna (G₄), Faridpur Tripple clove (G₅), Jamalpur (G₆), Faridpur Single clove (G₇), Kishoreganj (G₈), China (G₉) and Australia (G₁₀) collected from different places of Bangladesh and different countries. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications. The size of the unit plot was 6m x 1m. Spacing of 20 cm x 15 cm accommodating 200 plants in each plot. Data were recorded on yield and some selected plant characters and statistically analyzed for evaluation of the effects of different treatments and treatment combinations.
