The magic of seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) extract in influencing the dynamics of yield, quality, and storage behavior of garlic
The experiment revealed that AVT-1GNB-23-41 was the best among all the genotypes. The treatment AVT-1GNB-23-41×seaweed@1ml/L gave the maximum plant height (73.07cm),leaf width(2.32cm), polar & equatorial diameter (35.45, 36.33mm),clove length (2.64 cm), cloves/bulb (30.95), weight of bulb (18.87g), total yield (7.02t/ha) compared to others. AVT-1GNB-23-41 genotype showed highest TSS (30.83°Brix), phenol (159.65mg GAE/100g) while ascorbic acid (14.74mg/100g) was maximum in AVT-1GNB-23-26. In case of correlation study, bright sunshine hours and total rainfall had positive and negative correlations with total yield. L* and b* values decreased with advancement of storage but a* value was increased upto certain time and then decreased. On storage point of view, the treatment AVT-1GNB-23-47×seaweed@1ml/L was superior with lowest physiological weight loss at 36 DAST.
