Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study on the performance of nine selected summer eggplant lines with check (BARI Begun 8) was conducted at the experimental farm of Olericulture Division, Horticulture Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh during the summer season of 2014. The lines SM255 took the minimum days to 50% plant flowering and days to first harvest (53.67 days and 79.33 days, respectively). The highest marketable fruit number per plant was counted in SM011 (63.33) followed by SM236 (35.20) while the lowest from SM 274 (18.57).The highest fruit yield (36.43 t/ha) was recorded from the line SM011 which was close to SM262 (34.30 t/ha) and SM255 (33.20t/ha). The range of fruit infestation by BFSB was (13.70 – 20.67%), while minimum infestation was in SM011 (13.70%) which was close to SM236 (13.67%). The results of the present study revealed that the lines SM011, SM262, SM255, SM254, and SM236 were found promising and may be recommended for RYT.

Keywords: Summer eggplant lines, Marketable fruit, Yield

Location: Experimental farm of Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI, Gazipur

Start Date: 19-03-2014

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Brinjal

Objectives:

To evaluate the performances of the selected summer eggplant lines.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI, Gazipur during the summer of 2014. Nine eggplant lines viz., SM011, SM203, SM232, SM236, SM253, SM254, SM255, SM262, and SM274were included in the study. The released variety BARI Begun 8 was used as check. The seeds were sown on the seedbed on 19 March, 2014. Thirty days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field on 20 April, 2014. The experiment was laid out in a RCB design with three replications. The unit plot size was 7.5 x 0.70 m and 10 plants were accommodated in a plot with a plant spacing of 75 cm apart in single row maintaining a row to row distance of 1 m with 30 cm drain. The land was fertilized with cowdung, N, P, K, S, Zn and B @ 10,000 100, 30, 75, 13, 1.5 and 0.8 kg/ha, respectively. One third of the cow-dung and half of P and full of S, Zn and B were applied during final land preparation. Rest of cow-dung and P and 1/3 of K were applied as basal in pit. Entire amount of N and rest of K were applied in four equal installment starting from 20 days after transplanting. Rest three installments were applied at vegetative, flowering and initial fruiting stage. Irrigation, weeding, crop protection measures and other intercultural operations were done following standard practice. Data on days to 50% plant flowering, days to first harvest, marketable fruit number/ plant, fruit weight/ plant (kg), average fruit weight (g), fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), plant height at last harvest (cm), fruit infestation by BFSB (%), fruit yield
