In garlic (Allium sativum L.), genotype evaluation facilitates the search for better varieties. The aim of this study was to use morphoagronomic traits to evaluate three garlic landraces, namely, "Cateto Roxo Local", "Cateto Roxo Mineiro 1" and "Cateto Roxo Mineiro 2". They were planted on May 1, 2014 and May 23, 2014, in the municipality of Sussuapara, State of Piaui, Brazil. These varieties have similar behavior at the vegetative stage. "Cateto Roxo Local" had the highest average bulb mass, clove number per bulb, and clove mass per bulb. "Cateto Roxo Mineiro 1" and "Cateto Roxo Mineiro 2" had the largest clove diameter per bulb. In Sussuapara - PI, "Cateto Roxo Mineiro 1" and "Cateto Roxo Mineiro 2" are recommended for planting in the beginning of May, whereas "Cateto Roxo Local" should be planted in the third week of May.
