Abstract:
The present investigation entitled, “Assessment of Morphological, Phenological and Yield Parameters of Roasting type Brinjal Hybrids (Solanum melongena L.)” was carried out at AICRP on Vegetable Crops, Department of Horticulture, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri during kharif 2020. The experiment was laid out in the RBD with three replications. The experiment was comprised of seven hybrids and three checks.Among all the hybrids and checks hybrid RBH-1 (T₁) recorded maximum plant height (112.96 cm) at last picking and maximum number of branches (7.62). RBH-1 (T₁) recorded minimum days (52.20) to first flowering, minimum days (64.97) to 50% flowering also minimum days (86.32) to first harvest. Maximum fruiting period (days) recorded by RBH-7 (T₇) (95. 92 days). Hence, result revealed that RBH-1 (T₁) is an early maturing hybrid.Among all the treatments, RBH-1 (T₁) recorded significantly maximum number of fruits per plant (18.83), fruit length (17.02 cm), fruit weight (228.09 g), fruit diameter (8.32 cm), pericarp thickness (0.79 cm), fruit yield per plant (4.30 kg), yield per plot (103.16 kg) and yield per ha (520.99 q).
