Abstract
Field experiment was carried out during the kharif and rabi season of July 2019 and January 2020 at Venanallur village located in Ariyalur district, Tamil Nadu. The research work was under taken with hundred and twelve genotypes of brinjal. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications. The study revealed higher significant differences for most of the traits. Selection of superior parents is a crucial element for crop improvement programme. Mean performance showed that Annamalai recorded highest plant height (103.33 cm) and CO2 registered the highest number of branches plant-1 (14.33). The genotype IC-112315 recorded the earliest to first flowering (36.62 days) and the genotype IC-383119 registered the maximum number of flowers plant -1(87.29). The genotype IC- 136461 recorded more number of fruits plant-1 (30.32), whereas the genotype PLR-2 had the highest fruit set percentage (64.93). Genotype IC- 136249 recorded the maximum fruit length (15.20 cm). The maximum fruit girth (21.75 cm) and average fruit weight (61.19 g) was observed in Elavambadi mullu kathiri. The maximum total number of pickings was observed in Annamalai (11.81). The more number of seeds per fruit was registered in IC-089900 (670.76) and maximum 100 seed weight was recorded in Vikravantii (0.45 g). The genotype IC- 136461 recorded the highest fruit yield plant-1 (3.00 kg). Stability of these genotypes can be assessed and utilized for further crop improvement breeding programme.
