Cultivation viability of L. in the Western Ghats: insights into crop dynamics, yield and quality.

, commonly known as garlic chives, is an underutilized species despite its significant culinary value for its mild garlic flavor and therapeutic potential due to the presence of sulphur-containing compounds with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. This study assessed the cultivation potential of in the non-traditional agro-climatic region of the Western Ghats, focusing on the effects of cultivars and seasonal variations on growth, yield, and quality in two-year field trials. Among the accessions tested, Kazakhstan CGN-1587 demonstrated the highest yield, producing 157.
