Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study on the regional yield performance of five advanced eggplant hybrids was conducted at five experimental farms viz., Joydebpur, Burirhat, Jamalpur, Rahmatpur, Jessore of BARI during the winter season of 2017-18 to observe their yield and yield potentiality. On average, the advanced hybrid line F₁14x5 possessed the highest number of marketable fruits (54.95) per plant followed by F₁1x19 (54.22) and the lowest was by commercial hybrid variety ‘Green Ball’ (31.17). The corresponding yield was also highest in the case of the F₁14x5 (50.25 t/ha) followed by F₁ 13x12 (49.79 t/ha), F₁1x5 (46.45t/ha) and lowest was by Green Ball (31.17 t/ha). Considering higher yield, other horticultural traits and fruit shape, colour, three hybrids viz., F₁14x5, F₁13x12 and F₁ 1x5 were found promising and may be proposed for release as a new hybrid variety.

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Eggplant, Diseases

Objectives:

To observe the enggplant hybridgs yield and yield potentiality

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of five different locations of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute viz., Joydebpur, Burirhat, Jamalpur, Rahmatpur, Jessore during the winter season of 2017-18. Five advanced hybrid lines viz., F₁ 1x5, F₁1x19, F₁13x12, F₁14x5, F₁20x5 and commercial hybrid variety “Green Ball”, BARI F₁ Begun 2 (as check) were included in the study. The seeds were sown on the seedbed during the first week to the third week of September 2017. Thirty days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field on first week to the third week of October 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 a 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. The rest of cowdung and P and 1/3 of K were applied as basal in pit. The entire amount of N and the 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 stages. 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 weight/ plant (kg), fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), average fruit weight (g), 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 MSTAT C software.
