Studies on enetic ariability and haracter Association in Garlic (Allium sativum L)
Keywords:
Garlic, Variability, Correlation,, Genetic advance, HeritabilityAbstract
Genetic variability and character association analysis were estimated among sixteen genotypes of garlic for twelve
characters comprised of bulb yield and its contributing characters in Randomized Block Design with three replications during
Rabi-2014-15. Analysis of variance indicated presence of considerable variability for all the twelve characters. High GCV
and PCV were observed for volume of bulb and weight of cloves. High estimates of heritability along with high genetic
advance as per cent of mean was observed for volume of bulb and bulb yield indicating predominance of additive gene
effects for these traits. The result from character association indicated that bulb yield had highly significant positive
correlation with number of cloves per bulb, ascorbic acid and weight of cloves at both the levels.
