Abstract:
The present experiment entitled “Evaluation of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) Genotypes for growth and yield parameters under Chhattisgarh plains” was investigated at College of Agriculture and Research Station Mahasamund (Chhattisgarh) during the rabi of 2021-2022. The experimental materials included seven genotypes of brinjal and arranged in Randomized Block Design with three replications. According to the mean performance analysis, the genotype Kashi Taru had the best total fruit output per hectare (q) (555.84 q) followed by Pant Samrat (272.57 q). The genotype Kashi Taru also found to be highest value for fruit yield/plant (1.70 kg), marketable fruit yield (522.33 q/ha), fruit length (18.55), days to first flowering in plant (27.33 DAT), days to 50% flowering in plant (38.00 DAT), number of pickings, while, more number of branches (9.77) and fruit girth (20.57) recorded in genotype Mukta Keshi. The genotype Green Long recorded highest number of flowers/cluster (4.89). While, highest number of number of fruits/plant, fruits/cluster was recorded in genotype Indira Safed Baigan (2.86). Genotype Brinjal Green Round recorded highest stalk length (10.94).
