| Abstract | ||
| A field study was carried out at the Experimental Research Farm , Faculty of Agriculture, Sohag University during two consecutive seasons of 2006/2007 and 2007/2008 to evaluate thirteen Garlic ecotypes collected from different area of Egypt under newly reclaimed land. The results showed significant differences among these ecotypes for all studied characters. Elgharbia ecotype was the tallest plant, Aswan ecotype was the largest for bulb diameter, Sids 40 was the best for plant fresh weight and weight of cloves/bulb. Bani Sweif ecotypes gave the highest bulbing ratio while Assiut ecotype gave the lowest. However, Sids 40 had the least number of cloves/bulb, Elgharbia ecotype gave the highest value for total soluble solids and the highest yielding was obtained from Sids 40. Also, Onion Yellow Dwarf Virus (OYDV) disease infection was studied for these garlic ecotypes. Elbehera, Elwady and El-faiyum showed light degree of symptoms. While, medium degrees of symptoms were found in Sids 40, Gehena, Sohag, Qena and Aswan ecotypes. The heaviest degrees of symptoms for OYDV were found on plants of Tahrir, Elgharbia, Bani swief and Assiut ecotypes. | ||
