Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study on the performance of fourteen eggplant lines/varieties was conducted at the experimental farm of Olericulture Division, Horticulture Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh during the winter season of 2016-17 to develop high yielding fruit and shoot borer, bacterial wilt tolerant OP variety. The range of days to first harvest was 112.00 to 120.00 days, while the highest marketable fruit number per plant (36.66) was obtained by SM190 which was statistically similar with SM253B, SM284A, BARI Begun 4 (35.66) and the heaviest fruit was obtained from SM293 (132.260 g) which was statistically similar with SM2891 (129.97 g). In case of bacterial wilt, there was no incidence among the SM236C, SM253B, SM272, SM284C, SM289-1, SM291, SM291B, SM293, SM298. The significant highest yield (59.23 t/ha) was produced by SM289-1 followed by SM253B (56.63 t/ha), SM236C (53.38 t/ha), SM291B (53.12 t/ha), SM284C (52.08 t/ha), SM293 (51.52 t/ha), SM298 (50.65 t/ha) and SM269A (50.52 t/ha) while least was produced by SM190 (26.21 t/ha). Out of 13 advanced lines, eight lines produced more than 50 t/ha. Minimum infestation by BFSB was 6.81% was observed in SM284C, while the over all infestation (%) range was 6.81 to 13.78. The results of the present study revealed that considering earliness, higher yield, pest tolerance, fruit shape and colour, advanced lines viz., SM289-1, SM253B, SM236C, SM291B, SM284C, SM293, SM298 and SM269A were found promising, selected and may be put under trial for AYT in the next winter season.

Start Date: 00-00-2016

End Date: 00-00-2017

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Brinjal, Plant

Objectives:

To develop high yielding fruit and shoot borer and bacterial wilt tolerant OP variety of brinjal.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Olericulture Division, Horticulture Research Centre (HRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur during the winter season of 2016-17. Fourteen eggplant lines/ variety viz., SM190, SM191B, SM236C, SM253B, SM269A, SM272, SM284A, SM284C, SM289-1, SM291, SM291B, SM293, SM298 and BARI Begun 4 (as check) were included in the study. The seeds were sown on the seedbed on 01 October, 2016. Thirty-two days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field on 02 November, 2016. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with three replications. The unit plot size was 7.0 x 0.70 m and 10 plants were accommodated in a plot with a plant spacing of 70 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-B @ 10,000-170-50-125-18-4.3-1.70 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 fruiting stage. The intercultural operations (weeding, irrigation, insecticide spray etc.) were done as and when necessary. Data on days to first harvest, marketable fruit number/ plant, fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), average fruit weight (g), plant height at 1st harvest (cm) and plant height at last harvest (cm), fruit yield (t/ha), fruit infestation by BFSB (%), incidence of bacterial wilt, fruit colour, fruit shape were recorded from five randomly selected plants per entry per replication. Different quantitative characters were statistically analyzed using MSTAT C software.
