Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Studies on genetic variability and character association.†The experiment was executed at Main Experiment, Station of Department of Vegetable Science, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad, during Rabi season 2016-2017. The experimental material for the present study consisted of eighty genotypes, with plot size of 2.0 × 0.60 m2 with distance of 30 cm row to row and 10 cm plant to plant. Observation were recorded on plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, length of leaf (cm), width of leaf (cm), neck thickness of bulb (cm), diameter of bulb (cm), bulb yield per plant (g), number of cloves per bulb, length of clove (cm), weight of clove (g), diameter of clove (cm). Analysis of variance for design of experiment revealed that there is the length of leaf had highly significant and positive correlation with plant height, number of leaves per plant and diameter of bulb indicated that selection for these traits would be effective for the improvement of bulb yield per plant. The maximum positive direct effect on bulb yield per plant was exerted by number of cloves per bulb, weight of clove, total soluble solids, neck thickness of bulb, width of leaf and number of leaves per plant. It is suggested that selection for these traits will directly increase bulb yield per plant.
