Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study on the performance of fifteen selected advance 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 2017-18 to observe the performance of the selected lines. The lines SM232A, SM236A, SM236C took the minimum (101.33 days) identical days to first harvest and the lines SM181B (181B) and SM 290 (120.33) took the maximum days. Statistically identical maximum fruit number were produced by the lines/variety SM236A, SM259 and BARI Begun-4 which ranges (31.33-29.66 no.) followed by others lines while the minimum (16) was from SM288. The lines SM222B (27.67cm) and 232A (27.33) produced the longest fruit while SM259 produced the shortest fruit (9.83 cm). The highest diameter fruit was recorded from SM267 (8.3 cm), while the lowest was from SM259 (3.73cm). Plant height at first harvest the tallest identical plant was obtained from SM232A (69.0cm) and the shortest was from SM222C (44.66 cm). The highest plant height at last harvest was SM253B (113.33cm) and the lowest was from SM236A (71.67cm). Statistically identical fruit yield per hectare was obtained from SM232 (36.46t), SM232A (37.48t), SM 236A (37.62t) and SM267 (37.03t) followed by SM222D (33.61) while the lowest was from SM259 (19.06t). Minimum infestation by fruit and shoot borer was observed in SM236A (9.66%) followed by SM232 (12%), SM259 (10%), SM269A (11.33%) and the highest infestation was observed from SM257 (17.67%) followed by SM252B (17%). The lines SM232A, SM257, SM288 and BARI Begun-4 showed tolerant against BW while SM259 (16.66 %) showed the highest level susceptible against BW. Considering earliness, high yield and pest tolerance, the lines SM232, SM232A and SM236A, SM257, SM222D were found promising and may be recommended for RYT.

Keywords: Yield, Eggplant, Advanced yield trial

Location: Olericulture Division, Horticulture Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-00-2017

End Date: 00-00-2018

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Eggplant

Objectives:

The performance of the selected lines will be evaluated in advanced yield trial.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI, Gazipur during the winter season of 2016-17. Fifteen eggplant lines/verity with BARI Begun 4 (as check) were included in the study. The seeds were sown on the seedbed on 22 September, 2017. Thirty three days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field on 25 November, 2017. 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, row to row distance of 1m 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 TSP and full of gypsum, zinc and borax were applied during final land preparation. Rest of cow-dung and TSP and 1/3 of MoP were applied as basal in pit. One fifth of urea and MoP were applied after 20 days of transplanting. Rest of urea and MoP were applied in equal four installments at 20 days interval. Irrigation, weeding, crop protection measures and other intercultural operations were done following standard practice. Data on days to 1^stharvest, fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), marketable fruit (no./plant), marketable fruit wt./plant (kg), average fruit wt. (g), yield (t/ha), plant height at last harvest (cm), and infested fruit wt./plant (g) were recorded from seven randomly selected plants per entry per replication. The information on different characters was statistically analyzed.
