Abstract: An experiment was conducted with 15 garlic cultivars at Horticultural Research Centre, SVPUAT, Meerut, UP, India during the year 2013-14. Results on different characteristics showed that cultivar Roshni Mota gave the maximum plant height and number of leaves per plant while cultivar CL Lamba exhibited maximum leaf length and leaf width. Maximum bulb weight was found in cultivar Chennia and cultivar Bhima gave maximum diameter of bulb. However, cultivar Roshni Mota gave maximum single clove weight and maximum number of cloves was found in cultivar BG 108.
