Abstract

The purpose of this research was to identify the most desirable verities adopted in different environmental conditions of the country. Five garlic advance line; NARC Garlic-1, NARC Garlic-3, NARC Garlic-4, NARC Garlic-5 along with ‘Lehsan Gulabi’ as check were evaluated at different locations along with NARC, Islamabad. Different morphological parameters; plant height, plant girth, leaf number per plant and leaf width were studied at four different growth stages. NARC Garlic-1 performed better as compared other advance lines and control tested.
