YIELD POTENTIAL OF SOME EGGPLANT VARIETIES UNDER PLANT GROWTH REGULATOR (Pages : 34 - 37)

Yield potential of eggplant is an important determinant for selecting crop for effective and economic cultivation. An experiment was conducted in Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University campus to investigate the yield potential of some eggplant varieties using plant growth regulator. Seven varieties of eggplant viz., BARIBegun1, BARIBegun2, BARIBegun4, BARIBegun5, Bismillah, BARIBegun6, and Islampuri were used for test crop and Naphthalic acetic acid (NAA) 100 ppm was used as plant growth regulator. Eggplant variety BARIBegun5 showed the highest plant height (31.0 cm) at vegetative stages among the tested varieties. The mean Leaf number (32.0) was also higher in BARIBegun 5 in comparison to others. Leaf surface area which is important to photosynthic activities in eggplant was also significantly greater in BARIBegun2 cv. Tarapuri, compare to other varieties. Yield potent was significantly higher in BARIBegun5 followed by BARIBegun5. The lowest yield was performed by BARIBegun6. There is no significant effect of plant growth regulator NAA for growth and yield of eggplant. From this study it is inferred that eggplant cv. BARIBegun2 cv. Tarapuri might have best yield potential in the study area but it needs further extensive study using different plant growth regulators.Download
