Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study on the performance of fourteen eggplant hybrids/ variety was conducted at the experimental farm of Olericulture Division, Horticulture Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh during the summer season of 2016 to develop high yielding F₁ eggplant varieties tolerant to brinjal fruit and shoot borer and bacterial wilt and suitable for summer season cultivation. The lines varied significantly (P<0.05) for their response to all character. The hybrid F₁191BX259 took minimum 92.00days to first harvest, while highest marketable fruit number per plant (99.50) was obtained by F₁206X233 and heaviest fruit was obtained from the F₁225X216(104.30 g). There was no incidence was noticed of bacterial wilt infection at field level performance among 9 hybrids. The significant highest fruit yield (67.60 t/ha) was produced by F₁206X233which was followed by F₁225X216 (56.45 t/ha), F₁220X221B (54.61 t/ha), F₁222BX233 (53.63 t/ha), F₁206X216 (50.28 t/ha), F₁191BX259 (48.01 t/ha), F₁203X233 (47.90 t/ha), F₁77BX216 (47.26t/ha), while lowest was produced by F₁ 48X221B (36.33 t/ha). Minimum infestation by BFSB was 3.86% was observed in F₁206X233, while the infestation range was 3.86% -11.30%. The results of the present study revealed that eight hybrids viz., F₁206X233, F₁225X216, F₁220X221B, F₁222BX233, F₁206X216, F₁191BX259, F₁203X233, F₁77BX216 were found promising for earliness, high yield, BFSB and bacterial wilt tolerance, fruit shape, fruit colour and may be put under trial for PYT in the next year summer season.

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Brinjal

Objectives:

To develop high yielding hybrid (F₁) eggplant varieties suitable for summer cultivation having tolerant to brinjal fruit and shoot borer and bacterial wilt.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Olericulture Division, Horticulture Research Centre (HRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur during the summer season of 2016. Thirteen eggplant hybrids viz., F₁ 48X221B, F₁77BX216, F₁191BX259, F₁203X233, F₁204AX221B, F₁206X216, F₁206X233, F₁220X221B, F₁220X259, F₁222AX216, F₁222BX233, F₁225X216, F₁236CX216, along with BARI Hybrid Begun 3 (as check) were included in the study. The seeds were sown on the seedbed on 15 March 2016. Thirty days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field on 14 April, 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 cowdung 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, fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), average fruit weight (g), fruit weight/ plant (kg), plant height at 1st harvest (cm) and plant height at last harvest (cm), fruit yield (t/ha), fruit infestation by brinjal fruit and shoot borer (BFSB) (%), incidence of bacterial wilt, fruit colour, fruit shape were recorded from five randomly selected plants per entry per replication. The information on different quantitative characters was statistically analyzed using MSTAT C software.
