Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Performance of seven eggplant germplasm out of thirty six collected from Ishurdi region were investigated at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ishurdi, Pabna during Rabi season of 2017-18. The tested germplasm gave satisfactory yield and it ranged from 32.06-56.06 t/ha. However, the highest marketable yield (56.06 t/h) was recorded from SM Isd-027 and the lowest yield (32.06 t/ha) from SM Isd-028.

Keywords: Eggplant, Germplasm, Advanced yield trial

Location: Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ishurdi, Pabna

Start Date: 00-00-2017

End Date: 00-00-2018

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Eggplant

Objectives:

To evaluate eggplant germplasm to develop high yielding eggplant varieties.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ishurdi, Pabna during 2017-18. Seven eggplant germplasm with BARI Begun-6 were evaluated to find out genotypes having high yield potentiality as well as resistance to insect pests and diseases. These germplasm were collected from Ishurdi, Pabna and surrounding districts. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with three replications. Seeds were sown in the seedbed on 10 August 2017 and seedlings were planted in the field on 18 October 2017. Unit plot size was 7.0 m x 0.7 m maintaining row to row 70 cm and plant to plant spacing 70 cm. The land was fertilized with Cow dung, Urea, TSP, MOP and Gypsum @ 10000, 375, 150, 250 and 120 kg/ha, respectively. The total amount of cowdung, TSP and gypsum and 1/3^rd of MOP were applied during final land preparation and in the pit. Urea and rest of MOP were applied in two equal installments at 21 and 45 days after transplanting. Irrigation, weeding and other intercultural operations were done as and when necessary. Data on different parameters were collected from ten plants selected randomly and analyzed statistically and mean separation was accomplished following R software.
