Abstract

The present investigation was conducted to estimate correlation coefficients analysis among 24 genotypes of garlic for fifteen characters comprised of bulb yield and its contributing characters. These genotypes were planted in Randomized Block Design with three replications during Rabi season, 2019-20 at SKN College of Agriculture, Jobner. The result from correlation coefficients indicated that bulb yield showed significant and positive correlation with bulb weight, clove weight, pyruvic acid, equatorial diameter, leaves per plant, clove girth, cloves per bulb, polar diameter and TSS. Results obtained from the present study based correlation analysis revealed that selection programme based on bulb weight, clove weight, equatorial diameter, clove girth, polar diameter might prove effective in enhancing productivity level in garlic.

Keywords

Allium sativum, Garlic, Correlation coefficients, Bulb.

Conclusion

The association analysis revealed that bulb yield was positively and significantly correlated with bulb weight, clove weight, equatorial diameter, leaves per plant, clove girth, polar diameter and TSS. Results obtained from the present study based on correlation analysis revealed that selection programme based on bulb weight, clove weight, equatorial diameter, clove girth, polar diameter might prove effective in enhancing productivity level in garlic.
