Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was conducted with five advance F₁’s lines at the farm of Olericulture Division, HRC, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during the winter season of 2016-17 to develop new high yielding hybrids having tolerance to eggplant fruit and shoot borer and bacterial wilt. The lines varied significantly for their response to all characters (P<0.05). The hybrid F₁20 x 5 required minimum 103.00 days to first harvest. Maximum marketable fruit number was obtained by BARI Hybrid Begun 2 (46.00).Heavy sized fruit was harvested by Black beauty (275.83 g), followed by F₁13x12 (151.64 g), Green Ball (140.59 g). In case of bacterial wilt infection at field level performance, there were no incidence among the hybrid F₁1x5, F₁1x19, F₁13x12 and F₁14x5. The yield range of eggplant hybrids was 60.06 - 71.63 t/ha. The highest fruit yield was recorded from the F₁13x12 (71.63 t/ha), which was statistically similar with F₁1x19 (67.55 t/ha), F₁20x5 (67.29 t/ha), Green Ball (67.99 t/ha) and lower yield were recorded from Black Beauty (60.06 t/ha).The range of fruit infestation by BFSB was6.43 – 15.57 %, while minimum infestation was in F₁1x5. Considering earliness, higher yield, pest tolerance and other horticultural traits, the hybrid F₁13x12, F₁1x19, F₁20x5, were found promising. So the hybrids can be selected for releasing as new hybrid variety.

Keywords: Performance, Yield, Eggplant

Start Date: 00-00-2016

End Date: 00-00-2017

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Eggplant

Objectives:

To study the performance of these hybrids regarding yield and having tolerance to eggplant fruit and shoot borer and bacterial wilt in different location of Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Joydebpur during the winter of 2016-17. Eight eggplant hybrid/ varieties viz., F₁1x5, F₁1x19, F₁13x12, F₁14x5, F₁20x5, Green Ball, Black Beauty and BARI Hybrid Begun 2 were included in the study as check. The seeds were sown on the seedbed on 01 September 2016. Thirty two days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field on 01November, 2016. The experiment was laid out in a 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 and B @ 10,000 100, 30, 75, 13, 1.5 and 0.8 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. 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 initial fruiting stage. Irrigation, weeding, crop protection measures and other intercultural operations were done following standard practice. Data on days to 50% plant flowering, days to first harvest, marketable fruit number/ plant, average fruit weight (g), fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), plant height at last harvest (cm), fruit infestation by BFSB (%), fruit yield (t/ha), fruit shape and fruit colour were recorded from seven randomly selected plants per entry per replication. The information on different characters was statistically analyzed.
