Mean performance of yield and its attributing characters in germplasm of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)

Abstract

The present study was conducted at the College of Horticulture and Forestry, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya during the rainy season of 2022-23. The objective of this study is to find out the genetic variability within the genotypes. Plant material consisted of 40 genotypes of Brinjal including 1 check namely NDB-2 in randomized block design of 3x1.8m2 with three replications. Evaluation was done for different yield and quality traits. Among the test entries, range for marketable yield per plant varied from 134.67 to 692 and it was highest total fruit yield per plant was observed in NDB-21-9 (2544.73) followed by NDB-24 (2539.89), NDB-21-4 (2520.78), which were found significant over check variety NDB-2 (1775.46).
