Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study on the performance of five 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 develop new high yielding OP varieties. In case of days to harvest, except SM021 all the lines took identical maximum days to harvest (1120 days) and SM021 took the minimum (104.67days) to harvest. The highest marketable fruit/ plant (64.40 no.) was in SM216, followed by SM233 (54.0), while the lowest number was by SM021 (27.0). The highest average fruit weight was obtained from the line SM021 (189.67g) followed by SM217A (160.2 g) and the lowest average identical fruits weight was observed in SM216, SM233 and BARI Begun 4. The longest fruit was in SM217A (23.0 cm) while the lowest was from SM021 (14.66 cm).The highest fruit diameter was recorded in SM021 (9.0) while identical fruit breath was obtained from all the lines (5.00). The highest per hectare fruit yield was recorded from SM217A (68.72 t) followed by SM021 (66.64) and SM216 (63.38 t) and the lowest yield was from SM233 (50.52t). The highest plant height at 1^st harvest was (85.0cm) from SM 217A and the lowest identical were SM 216, SM233. Minimum infestation by fruit and shoot borer was 7.18 % was observed in SM233 while maximum was showed in SM233 (17.01). The results of the present study revealed that considering earliness, high yield and pest tolerance, the lines SM217A, SM021 and SM216 were found promising and may be repeated for further confirmation.

End Date: 00-00-2017

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Brinjal

Objectives:

The present study was undertaken to study the performance of the selected eggplant lines as well as to develop new high yielding OP varieties.

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. Five eggplant lines and variety BARI Begun 4 (as check) were included in the study. The seeds were sown on the seedbed on October 02, 2016. Thirty days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field on November 01, 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 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 cowdung and half of P and full of S, Zn and B were applied during final land preparation. Rest of cowdung 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. The intercultural operations (weeding, irrigation, insecticide spray etc.) were done as and when necessary. Data on days to 1st harvest, days required for harvesting, fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), marketable fruit number/ plant, average fruit weight (g), fruit weight/ plant (kg), yield (t/ha), eggplant fruit and shoot borer (EFSB) infestation (%), 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.
