Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An evaluation of seven F1’s of eggplant was conducted at the farm of Olericulture Division, HRC, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during the winter season of 2013-14. The hybrid 5x11 took the minimum days to 1st harvest (50 days). F119x14 produced the longest fruit (27.7 cm) followed by hybrid F13x9 (19.3 cm), while F113x12 produced the maximum diameter fruit (9.9 cm). Hybrid F119x14 produced the maximum marketable fruit number per plant (36) where the F113x12 produced the heaviest fruit (202 g). The F113x229 gave significantly higher yield (43.77 t/ha) followed by F13x9 (42.36 t/ha), F113x12 (41.82 t/ha) and F119x14 (39.43 t/ha). Minimum infestation (140 g infested fruit/ plant) by fruit and shoot borer was observed in F1 19x14. The results of the present study revealed that the hybrids F113x229, F13x9 and F113x12 were found promising for earliness, high yield and pest resistance and may be recommended for RYT.

Keywords: Advanced yield trial, Eggplant, Yield

Location: Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute(BARI), Gazipur

Start Date: 00-00-2013

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Brinjal

Objectives:

To study the performance of the hybrid lines regarding yield and pest resistance.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the farm of Olericulture Division, Horticulture Research Centre (HRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute(BARI), Gazipur during the winter season of 2013-14. Six advanced eggplant hybrid lines viz., F13x9, F15x11, F113x12, F113x229, F119x14, F120x5 and BARI Hybrid Begun 2 (as check variety) were included in the study. The seeds were sown on the seedbed on September 16, 2013. Thirty days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field on October 15, 2013. The experiment was laid out in 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 70 cm. The land was fertilized with cowdung, urea, TSP, MoP, gypsum, zinc and borax @ 10,000 375, 150, 250, 100, 12 and 10 kg/ha, respectively. One third of the cow-dung and half of TSP and full of gypsum, zinc and borax were applied during final land preparation. Rest of cow-dung and TSP and 1/3 of MoP were applied as basal in pit. One fifth of urea and MoP were applied after 20 days of transplanting. After that, rest of urea and MoP were applied in equal four installments at 20 days interval. The intercultural operations (weeding, irrigation, insecticide spray etc.) were done as and when necessary. Data on days to 1st harvest, fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), marketable fruit number/ plant, average fruit weight (g), fruit weight/ plant (kg), yield (t/ha), weight of eggplant fruit and shoot borer (EFSB) infested fruit/ plant (g), plant height at 1st harvest (cm) and plant height at last harvest (cm) were recorded from seven randomly selected plants per entry per replication. The information on different characters was statistically analyzed.
