Yield of spring garlic depending on clove size

Abstract

As the spring garlic does not bear seed, it is multiplied vegetatively, by cloves. Clove mass varies within a single bulb, in dependence of bulb distribution on the stem and type of branching. Studying the effect of the size of planted cloves on bulb mass, clove size, clove number and yield, we found significant differences among cloves of different sizes. The interactions genotype/year and year/size were pronounced only for clove mass because clove mass is directly correlated to yield. It means that clove mass, regardless of genotype, changes in dependence of climatic conditions in the course of growing season. The absence of other interactions is an indication that the studied characteristics are stable. Furthermore, it is an indication that clove size, as well as genotype, affect the studied characteristics. .

Beli luk je vrsta koja se razmnožava vegetativno. U semenskoj proizvodnji se koriste čenovi. U radu su ispitivane četiri frakcije čenova korišćenih za sadnju kod četiri genotipa u dve godine ispitivanja. Analiziranje uticaj sadnog materijala na prinos, masu lukovice, masu čenova i broj čenova. Najviši ostvareni prinos u obe godine ispitivanja je sadnjom čenova treće frakcije kod sva četiri genotipa. Sadnjom čenova najveće mase povećala se značajno masa lukovice, masa čenova i broj čenova. Ustanovljena je značajna interakcija između godine i krupnoće čenova na prinos. .
