Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a bulbous plant from the Alliaceae family, mainly produced in the dry seasons under irrigation in Niger. The objective of this study was to assess garlic morphotypes for their agronomic performance traits. The experiment was conducted at the Université de Zinder in Niger Republic, in a randomised complete block design during the dry season of 2019-2020. Data were collected on bulb diameter, bulb length, bulb weight, number of cloves per bulb, clove diameter, clove length, clove weight, number of outer clove lets per clove, outer clove lets diameter, outer clove lets length, and outer clove lets weight. There were significant differences for all characters, except bulb weight, clove diameter and number of outer clove lets per clove. The morphotypes Pink and Dark purple revealed good performances and could be useful for a breeding programme.
