Evaluation of agronomical traits and pyruvic acid content in Hamedan garlic (Allium sativum L.) ecotypes

Mahyar Abedi, Fariba Biat and Ali Ehsan Nosrati

Ten garlic ecotypes collected from the main cultivation area (Hamedan) of Iran were analyzed to evaluate their agronomical traits and Pyruvic acid content. The studied characters were: plant height, leaf number, bulb weight, bulb diameter, clove number per bulb, number of bulb layers, pyruvic acid, bulb color, bulb moisture, yield, soft neck or hard neck. . We found a significant difference on bulb weight, bulb diameter, number of cloves per bulb, pyruvic acid content and bulb color. Results of yield comparison introduced superior clones that were Barfjin (12.6 t ha-1), Heidare (12.4 t ha-1) and Ali Abad (12.1 t ha-1). Clones with more pyruvat and lowest color changes are suitable for introduction therefore based on result AliAbad, Barfjin , moein, Bahar, Heidare had more pyruvat and lowest color changes.
