Evaluation of yield and compatibility of some Iranian garlic (Allium sativum L.) cultivars in Zanjan, Iran

The growth and yield characteristics of four garlic cultivars grown in Iran were analyzed under irrigation during ۲۰۱۵/۲۰۱۶ and ۲۰۱۶/۲۰۱۷. In this experiment, High-yielding and common garlic cultivars of Iran were evaluated that include Mouein, Tuyserkan, Taroom, and Heidareh. The germination rate of the Tuyserkan cultivar was more than the other cultivars. The dry weight and fresh weight of the Taroom cultivars were quite remarkable. Hence, the amount of fresh weight ۲۲.۷ ton ha-۱ and dry weight ۱۲.۱ ton ha-۱ was obtained in the Tarom cultivar. Stem diameter (d), and the number of leaves (nL) were also, more affected in the Tarom cultivar in both of the years. However, on average the tallest plants (h) were observed in the Heidareh cultivar during the experiments. Although the growth, development, and yield of plants are highly dependent on their genetic characteristics, however, cultivar of Taroom showed very good yield (۱۲.۱ ton ha-۱) and improved the evaluated characteristics compared to other cultivars which can be due to the high compatibility of this cultivar to environmental conditions. Due to the fact that dry weight, fresh weight, and stem diameter are very important indexes in the evaluation of garlic yield, so based on the results obtained, it could be concluded that the Taroom cultivar has a significant advantage over other cultivars.
