Abstract:
A comparative study on 08 brinjal genotypes for growth, flowering and yield attributing parameters was conducted at Horticulture research farm, Pili Kothi, Department of Horticulture, Tilak Dhari Post Graduate College, Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh during Kharif season 2019. Pant Rituraj (T₅) was found to be statistically superior in plant height (62.63 cm) over the other genotypes whereas, maximum number of primary branches was found in T₄ (Pant Samrat) 4.74. Days to first flowering (42.13), days to first picking (65.09), days to second picking (75.04) and number of days to first fruit set (50.08) were found superior in T₅ (Pant Rituraj). The maximum number of flowers per inflorescence and number of fruits per cluster were observed in T₂ (White Round) with 5.18 flowers per inflorescence and 5.23 numbers of fruits per cluster. Maximum fruit diameter (6.05 cm) was found in T₁ (Green Round). Pant Samrat (T₄) was found to be statistically superior in number of marketable fruits per plant (8.63), fruit length (16.56 cm), fruit weight (602.33 g) and total yield (904 q/ha) over the other genotypes.
