Performance of the growth and yields of some local varieties of garlic (Allium sativum l.) in medium lands

Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in 2021. garlic production is only around 45.09 thousand tons. The purpose of the study was to determine the morphological and physiological characters of plants of six varieties of garlic in the medium area. This study was conducted from October 2022 to February 2023. The experiment used a simple randomized group design (RAK) with varieties as treatment consisting of six varieties. including: Lumbu putih. Lumbu Kuning. Sangga Sembalun. Lumbu hijau and Tawangmangu baru. The observed data were analyzed statistically using variety analysis with DSAASTAT EXCEL SOFTWARE VERSION 1.101. If the variance analysis shows a real difference. then proceed with Duncan’s multiple distance test at a real level of 5%. The data were analyzed using fingerprint analysis and if there were differences between treatments. a BNT 5% follow-up test was carried out. Observations were made on plant height. number of leaves. plant diameter. plant wet weight. plant dry weight. root weight. root length. root width. chlorophyll content a. chlorophyll content b. stomata and weight of plant tubers. The results showed that Lumbu hijau has better growth. low moisture content than other varieties and shows the highest tuber yield
