Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study on the performance of four advanced eggplant hybrids was conducted at the experimental farm of Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI, Gazipur, Bangladesh during the summer season of 2017to develop new hybrids having tolerance to eggplant fruit and shoot borer and bacterial wilt. The hybrid F₁5 ´11 took minimum days to first harvest. The BARI Hybrid Begun 4 produced the highest marketable fruit number per plant. The line produced the heaviest fruit. The BARI Hybrid Begun 3 produced the longest fruit, while F₁13X12 produced maximum diameter fruit. Zero percent bacterial wilt incidences were observed in F₁5X11, BARI Hybrid Begun 3, BARI Hybrid Begun 4. Among the advance lines, a significantly higher yield (46.28 t/ha) was produced by F₁5X11 and F₁13X229 . Minimum infestation by eggplant fruit and shoot borer was observed in BARI Hybrid Begun 2 and F₁13x229. The results of the present study revealed that two hybrids viz., F₁5X11 and F₁13X229 were found promising for earliness, high yield, pest and bacterial wilt tolerance, fruit shape, fruit colour and may be put under trial for RYT in the next summer season.

End Date: 00-00-2018

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Eggplant, Diseases

Objectives:

To evaluate the performances of selected summer eggplant hybrid lines.

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 2017. Five advanced hybrid lines including check variety viz., F1 5X11, F1 13X12, F1 13X229, F1 20X5, BARI Hybrid Begun 3, BARI Hybrid Begun 4(as check) were included in the study. The seeds were sown on the seedbed on 15 March 2017. Thirty days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field on 16 April, 2017. 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 installments starting from 20 days after transplanting. Rest three installments were applied at the 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, average fruit weight (g), fruit weight/ plant (kg), fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), plant height at first harvest (cm), plant height at last harvest (cm), fruit yield (t/ha), fruit infestation by BFSB (%), the 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 MSTATC software.

Achievement/Findings:

Considering the earliness, yield, pest tolerance, fruit shape, and colour, two hybrids viz., F₁ 5x11 and F₁ 13x229 were found promising, which may be put under trial for RYT in the next year summer season.
