Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of ten Japanese brinjal varieties (coded from V₁-V₁₀) at Horticulture farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh during February 2013 to August 2013. Tallest plant (68.9 cm), maximum number of leaves (61.7), maximum number of flower buds/plant (23.7) and longest fruit (11.5 cm) were found from V₅ but maximum number of flowers/plant (21.4), number of fruits/plant (20.6), fruit diameter (53.3 mm), fruit weight (97.5 g), yield/plant (2.0 kg) and yield/plot (23.6 kg) was obtained from V₈. Fruits of V₈ varieties were less susceptible (24.3%) to the brinjal fruit and shoot borer whereas V₂ was reported as the most susceptible (66.3%).

End Date: 00-08-2013

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Non-commodity: Performance

Objectives:

To evaluate the performance of ten Japanese brinjal varieties

Methodology:

Experiment was conducted at Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period of February 2013 to August 2013 following Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates. The unit plot size was 2.8 m X 2.1 m. Treatments consists of ten brinjal varieties viz.,V₁: SAU Mini purple; V₂: Anindyo sobuj mini; V₃: Franch ball; V₄: M Line 4; V₅: M Line 5; V₆: M Line 6; V₇: M Line 7; V₈: M Line 8; V₉: L line 9 and V₁₀: L line 10were exerted in the experiment, collected from Sakata seed company, Japan. 70 cm X 70 cm spacing was maintained. Manures and fertilizers were applied as recommended by Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute. The entire amount of organic manure, TSP, Gypsum, Borax and half of the MP were applied during final land preparation. The remaining half of MP and entire urea were applied in two equal installments, 1st at 15 days after planting and 2nd at flowering stage. Data were collected on plant height, leaf number, number of branch/plant, number of bud/plant, number of flower, number of fruit, fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit weight, yield/plant, yield/plot, calculated yield/ha and fruit susceptibility to brinjal fruit and shoot borer (BFSB) (%). Collected data were statistically analyzed using MSTAT-C program, means were calculated and differences between treatments were evaluated by Least Significance Difference (LSD) test at 5% level of significance. To determine the genetic similarities of the studied brinjal genotypes and to group them, cluster analysis was performed using the squared Euclidean and WARD method using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences).

Achievement/Findings:

M Line 8 (V₈) was the best variety among the varieties used in experiment considering yield related attributes which is closely related to V₃ but V₈ was less susceptible to brinjal fruit and shoot borer than Franch ball (V₃).
