Performance of Some Egyptian Garlic Strains (Allium sativum L.) Under Assiut Conditions

Abstract

to evaluate eleven Egyptian garlic genotype selections collected from different areas of Egypt under Assiut condition.The results show significant differences among these genotypes for most of the studied characters. To meet the requirement of garlic production with good quality characteristics under Assiut growing condition, selections 5(El-Behera), 6(El-Gharbia) and 8(El-Minia) were very promising genotypes.Phenotypic coefficients correlations between all possible pairs of the studied characters of the Egyptian garlic genotype selections were estimated. Direct selection for yield improvement may be not possible, but may be feasible through indirect selection of other secondary traits, there for estimation of correlation well be helpful for the breeder Introduction:Allium sativum is a diploid species (2n=2x=16). Garlic cultivation is historically dated back

Impact of Organic Fertilization and External Potassium Silicate Application on Yield and Quality of Two Garlic Cultivars

“…Garlic (Allium sativum) holds profound importance across multiple domains due to its rich nutritional, medicinal, and economic value. Nutritionally, garlic is a powerhouse, boasting significant levels of essential nutrients such as vitamins C and B6, manganese, and selenium, alongside antioxidants like allicin, which contribute to overall health and immune function (Ahmed et al, 2010). Medically, garlic has been revered for its therapeutic properties for centuries, with research supporting its role in lowering blood pressure, reducing cholesterol levels, and combating microbial infections due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties (Ali, 2017).…”
