Abstract: Four cultivars of garlic namely, G.S-1, Lehson Ghulabi, Chinese and Italian (local and exotic) were evaluated for yield and yield components during 2000-2001. The cultivar “Italian” took significantly longer time (216 days) to reach 50% neckfall than rest of cultivars which took 179 to 199 days. The average bulb weight in cv. Chinese was significantly higher than rest of cultivars which ranged from 27-35g. The cultivar “Chinese” was found to be high yielding with 11.6 tones bulb yield per hectare which was 3.4, 2.3 and 1.6 times higher than G.S-1, Italian and Lehson Ghulabi, respectively.
