Abstract:
An On Farm Trial was carried out at 10 farmers’ field of Lakhisarai district under supervision of KVK, Lakhisarai, BAU, Sabour (Bhagalpur) during kharif Season 2016 to the varietal trail of different cultivar of brinjal (Pusa hybrid 6 and Pusa hybrid -9) on the yield and its attributes. Three treatments viz. T₁- Farmers practice (use of private sector variety- Kiran), T₂- Pusa hybrid -9 and T₃- Pusa hybrid- 6 were arranged in Randomized Block Design with ten replications. The experimental result showed that the treatment T₂ (Pusa hybrid 9) displayed better response to almost all the growth and yield attributes except days to 50% flowering among all the treatments. The maximum yield of Pusa hybrid -9 (5.22 t/ha), net profit and B:C ratio (1: 2.8) was observed under the treatment T₂ (Pusa hybrid -9) however, the minimum values were noted in Farmer practice (T_1­­­- Use of private sector variety- Kiran). Economically, highest net monitory return of Rs. 220741.6 per hectare was obtained by using Pusa hybrid -9 variety. Thus, the use of this variety was economical feasible and more convenient than other treatments.
