| Abstract | ||
| A field study was carried out at the Experimental Research Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt during two consecutive winter seasons of 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 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 | ||
