Brinjal hybrids for resistance

The present studies on screening of eleven brinjal hybrids against brinjal shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis (G.) was carried out during 2015-16 and 2016-17 at College of Agriculture, Vellayani, Trivandrum in kharif and summer seasons. The study revealed that the hybrids Swetha x Vellayani local, Neelima and Wardha local x Palakurthi local were found to be moderately resistant with minimum shoot infestation in both the seasons while maximum shoot infestation was recorded in hybrids NBR-38 x Vellayani local and NBR-38 x Selection Pooja.

Brinjal production is threatened by bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum in the developing world. Evaluation in search of best performing genotypes against bacterial wilt disease and incorporating their genes in commercial cultivars is an effective attempt to the problem. Studies on genetic variability and heritability, along with degree of association between the various characters and direct effects of yield contributing characters on total yield, is of paramount significance in framing an appropriate breeding strategy.
