Garlic (Allium sativum L.) belongs to the family Alliaceae and is the second most widely used Allium next to the onion. North shewa has considerable potential in agroecology which is suitable for garlic production. However, the lack of improved and adaptable varieties of this crop is the major production constraint in the study area. A field experiment was conducted for one year (2021) during the cropping season on farmers’ land in Jidda, Wachale, Yaya Gulale, and Degam districts. The objective of the study was to identify adaptable, high-yielding, and diseases tolerant garlic varieties for the study areas and similar agroecology. The treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatments consisted of five garlic varieties (Bushoftu, Kuriftu, Tsedey 92, HL, and Chefe) and one local check. The result of the study showed significant differences among varieties for all the recorded traits. Among the varieties, Local check gave the highest yield (9.96 tons ha-1) followed by Kuriftu (6.94 tons ha-1) and Tsedey 92 (6.37 tons ha-1), respectively. Therefore, the result of this research can be used as good information for the future garlic variety development program at the national level. Considering the most desirable yield and yield component parameters, the local cultivar is recommended to the producers in the North Shewa Zone of the Oromia Region. Further research on the collection, characterization, and evaluation of the local cultivars should be conducted for national use.
