This book mainly focuses on Garlic (Allium sativum L.) Germplasms: A Breeding Studies. Crop improvement is based on existing genetic variability and extent to which the desirable characters are heritable. Hence, studies on genetic variability with the help of appropriate genetic parameters become essential for an effective breeding programmed. Yield is a very composite character influenced by several yield components sensitive to environmental fluctuations. Thus, the selection based on yield components has a better chance of success. On the basis of one year research, it could be concluded that out of 25 genotypes, G-282, G-50 and G-323 are the best performing genotypes for yield and yield attributing traits in this book. The estimate of phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variability gives a clear picture of amount of variations present in the available genotypes.
