Abstract: The present investigation was carried out during the year 2022-2023 with twenty one genotypes replicated thrice. Among different genotypes, maximum plant height (123.46 cm), number of leaves plant^-1 (5.93), petiole length (119.09 cm), leaf area (1111.89 cm²), corm diameter (6.35 cm) and herbage yield per hectare (37.35 q ha^-1) was noted in the genotype (G₁₆) PBNT-1. While maximum number of suckers plant^-1 (8.64) was observed in (G₁₄) DPLT-14. The maximum number of corms plant^-1 (2.27) and maximum weight of corms plant^-1 (276.02 g) was observed in (G₃) DPLT-3. The maximum total corm and cormel yield (256.82 q ha^-1) was recorded in (G₄) DPLT-4. The genotype (G₁₂) DPLT-12 had maximum corm length (10.48 cm). Whereas, genotype (G₅) DPLT- 5 recorded lowest values for above mentioned traits among other genotypes studied under Marathwada conditions.
