Evaluation and Selection of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) Genotypes for High Yield with Fruit and Shoot Borer Tolerance

Aim: Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) is a vital crop of India which belongs to the family Solanaceae with chromosome number 2n=24.This study aimed evaluate brinjal genotypes and identify superior types desirable qualities, high yield fruit shoot borer tolerance.
 Study Design: The experimental materials consisted fifteen two checks were laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) three replications.
 Place Duration Research: investigation was carried at Horticultural College orchard, Department Vegetable Science, Research Institute Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during 2021-2022.
 Methodology: Fifteen local collected from several districts various other sources. Seeds sown portrays then transplanted main field age 30 days. Growth parameters observed recorded.
 Results: Based on per se performance genotypes, CBE SM-006 adjudged as best one since, it has recorded for characters studied viz., branches, weight, fruits plant, plant. Also, CBE–SM-006 found have minimum infestation hence providing maximum marketable genotype CBE-SM-105 also performed most characters. Thus, CBE-SM-006 could be promising further breeding programme.
 Conclusion: will provide comprehensive knowledge evolving selecting indispensable aim rational improvement
