Author(s): Anand M, A Sankari and B Anita
Abstract: A study was conducted to evaluate seventy two accessions at Horticultural Research Station, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, The Nilgiris during 2014 - 2016 for high yield under The Nilgiris condition. Significant differences were observed for all the characters studied. The As 72 recorded the highest plant height of 74.42 cm. Maximum number of leaves was recorded in As 30 (7.73 Nos). The longest leaf length was recorded in As 4 (50.09 cm) while the shortest leaf length was observed in As 71 (17.55 cm). As 72 was found to produce broader leaves (2.94 cm), maximum pseudo stem length (40.62 cm) and pseudostem diameter of 4.15 mm. Among the yield parameters maximum average bulb weight was recorded in As 72 (40.78 g) followed by As 11 (38.61 g) and As 4 (37.36 g). As 72 recorded the maximum 10 clove weight of 28.05 g whereas the lowest was recorded in As 57 of 11.46 g. The As 72 recorded the highest yield per plot (4.14 kg), maximum yield per ha of 152.70 q/ha and marketable yield of 139.20 q/ha.
