Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Evaluation of Brinjal Genotypes from Eastern Vidarbha Zone” was conducted at the Experimental Unit, Botany Section, Shankar Nagar, College of Agriculture, Nagpur during kharif 2022-2023. The experimental design adopted was randomized block design with three replications comprising Twelve genotypes. Highest plant height was recorded in genotype NBG -7 (T₇) (79.33 cm). Maximum plant spread (53.40 cm) and maximum leaf area (183.03 cm²) was recorded in genotype NBG-5. Highest number of primary branches (7.37) was recorded in genotype NBG-6 (T₆). The genotype NBG-6 (T₆) required minimum days to initiation of 1^st flower bud (42.57 days), minimum days for Initiation flowering (45.33 days) and minimum days (47.83 days) for 50% flowering while, The highest number of flowers per cluster was obtained in genotype NBG-6 (T₆) (5.07). Longest fruit (15.90 cm) was found in the genotype NBG-7 (T₇), Genotype NBG-5 (T₅) reported maximum fruit diameter (6.93 cm).
