Evaluation Of F4 progenies of brinjal under Konkan Agroclimate

This book deals with study of Evaluation of F4 progenies of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) under Konkan agroclimatic conditions. The field investigation was conducted at the Educational Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli (M.S.) during the rabi season of the year 2012-2013. The fifty treatments comprising 50 F4 progenies of brinjal were replicated twice in Randomized Block Design. Most of the growth, flowering, fruit and yield characters under study were found significantly varied. The magnitude of phenotypic variance was greater than genotypic variance in all the characters under the study. The magnitude of the genotypic variance was greater than environmental variance for most of the characters except days to last harvest, days to first harvest and harvesting span indicating that environmental factor has greater role to influence the days to last harvest and harvesting span.
