Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study on the performance of seventeen selected advance eggplant lines with BARI Begun 4 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 observe the performance of the selected lines. The line SM083 took the minimum (90 days) to first harvest and delayed harvesting line was SM181C (120 days). The line SM232A produced the maximum number of marketable fruit (38.86) and the minimum was (28.73) from SM254. The highest fruit weight (138.64g) was recorded from SM254 followed by SM081B, SM232 and the lowest fruit weight was from SM048. The line SM232B (22.93cm) produced the longest fruit while SM203 (9.60 cm) produced the shortest fruit. The highest diameter fruit was recorded from SM083H (9.23 cm), while the lowest was from SM222B (3.43cm). The fruit yield/ hectare was obtained from the line SM181B (56.76t) followed by SM232 (52.78t) while the lowest was recorded from SM048 (32.45t), SM203, SM222B and SM221B. Plant height at first harvest the tallest identical plant was obtained from SM232A (77.13cm), SM232, SM245 and SM230. The highest plant height at last harvest time was SM232 (110.60cm) and the lowest was from SM181C (86.60cm). Minimum infestation by eggplant fruit and shoot borer was observed in SM230 (10.05%) followed by SM254 (11.35%), SM232B (11.37) and the highest infestation was observed from SM048 (17.60%) followed by SM222B (16.53). The result revealed that considering earliness, high yield and pest tolerance, the lines SM181B, SM232 and SM254 were found promising and may be recommended for RYT.

Start Date: 00-00-2016

End Date: 00-00-2017

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Brinjal

Objectives:

To study the performance of the selected lines of brinjal.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI, Gazipur during the winter season of 2016-17. Seventeen eggplant lines with BARI Begun 4 (as check) were included in the study. The seeds were sown on the seedbed on 01 October, 2016. Thirty one days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field on 01 November, 2016. 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, row to row distance of 1m 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 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. Rest of urea and MoP were applied in equal four installments at 20 days interval. Irrigation, weeding, crop protection measures and other intercultural operations were done following standard practice. Data on days to 1^stharvest, fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), marketable fruit (no./ plant), marketable fruit wt./ plant (kg), average fruit wt. (g), yield (t/ha), plant height at last harvest (cm), and infested fruit wt./ plant (g) were recorded from seven randomly selected plants per entry per replication. The information on different characters was statistically analyzed.
