Significantly higher plant height of 150.17 cm, number of fruits per plant (61.67), average fruit weight of 59.59 g, fruit yield per plant of 4395.29 g, fruit yield per hectare of 375.69 q and lower per cent diseases incidence of 1.25 per cent were registered under the treatment T1 (Root stock: Solanum torvum Scion: Any popular hybrid of the region (MAHY Super-10). While treatment T2 (Root stock: Surya Scion: MAHY Super-10) found to be on par with T1 with regard to yield per hectare (342.18 q/ha) and per cent diseases incidence of 7.78 per cent.
