Abstract

Garlic after harvest get damaged due to weight loss and infestation with different microbes and during storage. The present study was undertaken with the objective of screening 19 superior high yielding genotypes for better storage quality. Genotype G-282 had the highest bulb weight though G-176, G-189, G-324 and G-41 had good bulb size and quality. Genotype G-192 had the minimum PLM (3.67%), while G-200 had minimum storage loss after three month storage (4.5%).
