Abstract:
Field experiment was conducted with 36 F₁ crosses, nine parents and one hybrid check at OUAT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha during rabi, 2019-20 for round fruits, tolerance to bacterial wilt and higher yield in brinjal. Results showed significant variations among 13 quantitative traits indicating existence of variations for effective selection. On per se performance, four F₁ crosses viz., BBSR-08-2 X BBSR-192-1 (2705.80 & 4.17), Jammusahi Local X BBSR-192-1 (2558.50 & 4.17), BBSR-195-3 X BBSR-192-1 (2555.10 & 0.00) and BBSR-10-26 X BBSR192-1 (2515.80 & 8.33) were identified as superior types for round fruits, higher fruit yield plant^-1 (g) and bacterial wilt (%), respectively. These F₁ crosses produced about 52.40%, 44.10%, 43.91% and 41.70% of total fruit yield plant^-1 while (-)13.13%, (-)13.13%, (-)100.00% and 73.54% for bacterial wilt, respectively as compared to total 36 F₁ crosses evaluated. Thus, it may be concluded that these above superior four F₁ crosses may be recommended for multi-locational trials for commercialization.
