Abstract
Solanum melongena L. is one of the most popular vegetable crop belonging to the family Solanaceae. In the present study an attempt has been made to examine how many local, released and hybrid varieties are being cultivated in South India from Kerala, Andra Pradesh, Andaman and Nicobar, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Lakshadweep, Pudhucherry and Telangana. Data collection method is used in the study for collecting data from cultivated genotypes of brinjal and to determine the similarities and differences in genotypic variations of the eggplant populations from different regions from Agricultural Universities, Agricultural Research Institute and Krishibhavan through the South Indian States. The results indicated that among the South Indian States Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka showed maximum cultivation of brinjal varieties. The data revealed that in Tamil Nadu twenty two released, seven local and nine hybrid varieties are now cultivated. The least cultivation was in Andaman and Nicobar. It should be concluded that, large scale cultivation of released, local and hybrid have taken in Tamil Nadu compared to other Southern regions of India. The present investigation indicated 27% of total cultivation from South India is from Tamil Nadu followed by Kerala (25%) then Karnataka (21%) and the least cultivation in Andaman and Nicobar (1%).
