Contents: At the Caripe Experimental Station, dependent to the INIA-Monagas, located in the Municipality of Caripe, it was assessed the agronomic potential of seven clones of promising bunching onion for three consecutive cycles of sowing. The first cycle coincided with the north-rainy season from July 14 to November 18, 1999; the second, with the north-summer from November 23, 1999 to February 24, 2000; and the third, with the summer-rainy, from March 14 to 08 June 2000. The sowing was done with asexual seed from Caripe Experimental Station field. A complete randomized block design with three replications, in a factorial arrangement was used. Factor A: three cycles of planting and factor B, seven clones. It was performed the correlation between yields on fresh weight and the morphological variables: height, horizontal expansion, stems length and diameter and number of offshoot per plant. The results indicated that clones with higher average yield on fresh weight during the three cycles of planting, were Criollo Blanco 3 (20,25 t / ha), Criollo Blanco 1 (19,09 t / ha) and Criollo Morado 3 (19, 02 t / ha). The clon Criollo Morado 3 had higher stems than Criollo Blanco 3 and Criollo Blanco 1; these clones were also in the group of the largest in stem diameter, providing good options for bunching onion production in Caripe throughout the year. The best seasons for bunching onion production in Caripe are north-summer and rainy summer. This study showed that the offshoot number per plant was negatively correlated with yield and evaluated morphological variables.
