To achieve this, plant loss rate, plant height, number of leaves of the plants and bulb yield variables have been submitted to an analysis of variance and comparison of average. Results: The plant loss rate of 92.88% for Violet de Galmi and rates of 20.29 and 38.75%, respectively for Ares and Prema. The latter varieties have had the most developed plants with average heights of 57.90 cm (Ares) and 63.13 cm (Prema) for an average production of 12 leaves. Violet de Galmi had an average plant height of 42.86 cm and produced eight leaves. The mass of the bulbs has been higher in Prema (58.27 g) and Ares (58.23 g) than in Violet de Galmi (27.55 g). Ares yielded an average of 24.17 ton of bulbs per hectare. Prema yielded 18.61 ton. Violet de Galmi recorded the lowest yield (2.06 ton). Conclusion: In view of these results, the varieties Ares and Prema can be recommended for rainy season cultivation in the North of Côte d'Ivoire.]]> https://scialert.net/abstract/?doi=ijpbg.2023.1.6 10 June, 2026
