Abstract

Eight genotypes of white skin garlic (Balady) in addition to compared variety (control) Sids 50, also seven genotypes from purple skin garlic, in addition, two varieties for compared with (control) Sids 40 and Eggaseed 1 collected from some governorate of Egypt to study their performance under middle Egypt Conditions. Field experiments was carried out in the two successive winter seasons 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 at the farm Sids Hort. Res. Station A. R. C. Beni-suef governorate, Egypt. Genotypes were arranged in (RCBD) with three replicates. Data were recorded on some vegetate growth characteristics, as well as yield components fresh and cured yield, and storage ability. The results for cured yield showed the following, concerning genotype white skin, (Balady) Sids 50 var., genotype GWS-1 (El-Minia source) and genotype GWS-7 (Suhag Source) gave the highest yield followed by genotype GWS-3 (EL-Behairah source) and genotype GWS-2 (Kafr El-Sheakh source). Regarding purple skin genotype GPS-7 (Assiut source), Eggaseed (ll) var. and Sids 40 var. gave the highest cured yield respectively followed by genotype GPS-6 (Qena source), and Eggaseed (l) variety (Sids source). This study recommends that the mentioned genotypes can be used in selecting programs for better genotype of garlic yield and quality.
