M.P. Sanas | A.P. Sanas | S. M.Shinde

Abstract: The field experiment was conducted to study the performance of thirteen local brinjal (Solanum melongena) types under konkan climatic conditions at the Educational Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli (M. S. ) during the rabi season of the year 2008-2009. All these thirteen brinjal genotypes showed significant variation in physical fruit characters and yield characters. Physical parameter viz. , weight of fruit, length and Girth of fruit, Shape of fruit and colour of fruit showed notable variation among all the genotypes of brinjal. The genotype SML-5 recorded significantly the highest fruit length (23.01cm). However, the genotype SML-8 showed the longest fruit breadth (8.03cm). The highest fruit weight was reported by the genotype SML-3 (178.94g).
