Abstract

In order to carry out genetic improvement to generate garlic varieties that allow increasing yields in the garlic-producing areas of Aguascalientes, the variety Perla Orion of white garlic type was developed in the Experimental Field Pabellon-National Institute of Forestry, Agricultural and Livestock, derived from the clone R-35-10-1B, which is considered as an alternative to be exploited in the region due to its excellent botanical, horticultural and yield characteristics; the commercial use of the Orion variety allows obtaining from 16 to 18 t ha-1, compared to the average yield of 12 t ha-1, which represents an increase of over 30% and consequently the profitability of the crop.
