Evaluation of F1 Crosses of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) Landraces for Fruit Yield, Quality and Tolerance to Bacterial Wilt

Field experiment was carried out at All India Coordinated Research Project on Vegetable Crops, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, in order to identify the superior F1 crosses for marketable fruit yield quality and resistance bacterial wilt. total 21 evolved from seven distinctly diverse local landraces of brinjal along with a hybrid check, Mahy Green were evaluated by adopting Randomized Block Design replicated twice rabi 2021-2022. Results revealed significant variations among various attributes (TSS: 4.32 oBrix 6.00 ascorbic acid content fruit: 5.10 mg100g-1 7.10 mg100g-1), incidence wilt (30 DAT: 0.00% 4.17%, 60 12.50% 90 20.83%). Out crosses, nine cross showed immune reaction DAT. The plant-1 varied significantly 1.00 kg 1.99 kg. viz. BBSR-08-2 × Selection BBSR-145-1(1.99 kg) recorded highest followed BBSR-10-25(1.87 BBSR-10-26 (1.81 kg). Thus, it may be concluded that, obtained viz., BBSR-145-1, BBSR-10-25 recommended higher yield, over all profit. These also used future improvement programme towards development varieties
