Garlic is one of the most important medicinal plants and consists of high sulfur concentration compounds like diallyl disulfide, allicin, diallyl trisulfide, and S-allylcysteine. It contributes for anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anthelmintics, antifungal, liver protection, antioxidants, antistress, and wound healing properties. Therefore, garlic plays a significant role in human life. To popularize this multi-purpose crop in Ethiopia, there are ample opportunities and potential, like a wide agro-ecology and a labor force. However, today's garlic production in Ethiopia is low because of different factors like climate, soil, microbiome and cultural practices. While, mainly due to genotype variation, garlic yield is constrained. Thus, gathering and reviewing the impact of genotypes on phenology, growth, yield, and yield traits is important to summarize and organize. Hence, the main objective of this paper is to show the phenology, growth, yield, and yield-related traits of garlic as influenced by genotype. Finally, this review scoped to reveal phenology, growth, yield and yield traits as influenced by Ethiopian garlic genotypes. Generally, different genotypes influence the phenology, growth, yield, and yield traits of garlic. Therefore, garlic producers should use a high-yielding variety (genotype) in the area. |
