Evaluación de rendimiento de compuestos de ajo tipo Taiwán

Abstract

Field yield and bulb quality of garlic (Allium sativum L.) compounds were evaluated during the 2008-2009 fall-winter cycle at the San Luis de la Paz, Gto., Mexico. Taiwan compounds were evaluated with variable results, depending on the genotype. Best plant height, bulb yield, higher weight per bulb and smaller clove number per bulb were obtained with: Compuesto 4 (El pato, bodegas, Salamanca, Gto.), Compuesto 5 (Santa Teresa, tabla III, Salamanca, Gto.), and Compuesto 1 (Ajo sano, varias regiones del Edo. de Gto.). It is important to continue with the program of garlic genetic breeding to Guanajuato state, based on selection of new garlic lines derived from the best compounds and using techniques as the virus elimination for improving yield and quality.
