Abstract

The current study was conducted in the period from 2014/2015 – 2020/2021, by conducting six cycles of clonal selection with the aim of restoring and improving the characteristics of garlic (Chinese cultivar) grown under Egyptian conditions. These field experiments were carried out at the Experimental Station Farm (at Abies), the Faculty of Agriculture, Alex. Univ. The estimation of both the coefficient of variation and the range reflected the extent of the variation in the original population. The values of the coefficient of variation ranged from 25.00 to 44.11%. Nine clones were reached by the end of the selectorial program, which were evaluated during the seventh season along with the original population. In general, the selected clones of the Chinese garlic cultivar showed significant superiority compared to the original population for all the selected traits. Among the most prominent clones that showed superiority for the characteristics of bulb weight, cloves weight per bulb, as well as the productivity; three clones C5, C4, and C3 compared to the rest of the selected clones as well the original population. While the two clones C1 and C8 showed the highest average clove weight and the lowest cloves number per bulb compared to all the tested entries. On the contrary, the original population gave the lowest bulb weight, the lowest cloves weight per bulb, the highest orbits number per bulb, and the highest cloves number per bulb with minimum clove weight also produced the lowest total yield per feddan.
