Present study on DUS characterization is about the most promising high root yielding genotype HWS 8-18 ofAshwagandha (Withania somnifera) was done during the late Kharif, 2018 and 2019 and established its distinctness amongdifferent genotypes. The genotype HWS 8-18 was tested for several morphological descriptors. The ashwagandha genotypeHWS 8-18 has been found superior in dry root yield as compared to ASW-1 (best check) 10.78% at National level and40.99% higher in the Haryana State. The mean seed yield of HWS 8-18 was 610.87 kg/ha compared to 551.43 kg/ha ofASW-1 (best check) recorded at National level while at Hisar the mean seed yield was found to be 767 kg/ha as againstASW-1 (544 kg/ha). The genotype HWS 8-18 has given numerically high seed yield (579.41 kg/ha) and at par with bestcheck, AWS-1 (541.05 kg/ha). The morphological characters, lenceolate, smooth, medium dark green leaves, orange yellowberry colour and semi-erect are the marker characters of HWS 8-18. In addition to this, the characterization information willbe helpful to maintain the genetic as well as proper identification. Moreover, high root yield and seed yield have greaterimportance and would be utilized in hybridization for further genetic improvement.
