Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Three advanced eggplant lines SM021, SM 216 and SM 233 including check variety BARI Begun-4 were evaluated at five locations viz., Joydebpur, Burirhat, Jamalpur, Rahmatpur, Jessore of BARI research stations, during winter season of 2017-18 to observe their yield and yield potentiality at different locations. On an average, the advanced line SM 216 possessed the highest number of marketable fruits per plant (40.51) followed by SM 233 (30.83)and corresponding highest yield was produced by SM 216 (38.65 t/ha) followed by SM 233 (30.78 t/ha). Considering higher yield and other horticultural traits, the lines SM216 and SM233 were found promising and may be release as new OP eggplant variety.

Location: Joydebpur, Burirhat, Jamalpur, Rahmatpur, Jessore

Start Date: 00-00-2017

End Date: 00-00-2018

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Eggplant

Objectives:

To study the performance of the selected advanced eggplant lines at different AEZ.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at five locations viz., Joydebpur, Burirhat, Jamalpur, Rahmatpur, Jessore of BARI research stations, during winter season of 2017-18. Three advanced eggplant lines SM 021, SM 216 and SM 233 and check variety BARI Begun 4 were included in the study. The seeds were sown on the seedbed during first week to third week of September, 2017. Thirty days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field on first week to third week of October, 2017. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with four 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 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. The intercultural operations (weeding, irrigation, insecticide spray etc.) were done as and when necessary. Data on days to 1st harvest, days required for harvesting, fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), marketable fruit number/ plant, average fruit weight (g), fruit weight/ plant (kg), yield (t/ha), eggplant fruit and shoot borer (EFSB) infestation (%), plant height at 1st harvest (cm) and plant height at last harvest (cm) were recorded from seven randomly selected plants per entry per replication. The information on different characters was statistically analyzed.
