THE YIELD AND YIELD CONTRIBUTING CHARACTERS UNDER DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OF DIFFERENT BRINJAL VARIETY

The research work was conducted to find out the effect and variability analysis of ten brinjal variety under different environmental conditions during September 2013 to February 2014 in rabi season. The two factors experiment was laid out in Split-plot design with three replications. For different treatment, the maximum number of fruits per plant (34.29) was recorded from T₂ and the minimum number (31.57) from T₄. The highest weight of individual fruit (75.61 g) was observed from T₂, again the lowest weight (66.66 g) from T₄. The highest yield per plant of brinjal (2.53 kg) was recorded from T₂ and the lowest yield (2.04 kg) from T₄. For different variety, the maximum number of fruits per plant (52.73) was found from V₁, whereas the minimum number (19.33) from V₆. The highest weight of individual fruit (95.52 g) was obtained from V₆, whereas the lowest weight (54.57 g) from V₁. The highest yield per plant of brinjal (3.16 kg) was observed from V₂ (BARI Begun-2), while the lowest yield per plant (1.48 kg) from V₇. In case of combined effect of treatments and variety, the maximum number of fruits per plant (55.60) was found from T₂V₁, again the minimum number (17.67) from T₃V₆. The highest weight of individual fruit (99.40 g) was attained from T₂V₆, whereas the lowest weight (47.78 g) from T₄V₁. The highest yield per plant of brinjal (3.63 kg) was found from T₂V₄, whereas the lowest yield (1.20 kg) from T₄V₇. Based on the performance, BARI Begun-2 was found to be highest yielder.
