Studies on Hybrid Vigour in Egg Plant (Solanum Melongena Linn.)

Jagvir Dixit, N. C. Gautam

Abstract

The manifestation of hybrid vigour in 30 Fj hybrids was studied for five characters viz. yield per plant (marketable), fruit weight, fruit length and fruit girth. Crosses BR-112 × Aushey, PBR-61 × K 202-14, PBR-91-1 × K 202-14 and K T 3 × K 102-14 showed significant positive heterosis over best parent K 202-9 for yield. Crosses KT3 × Vijai, PBR-91-1 × K 202-14 and PBR-91-1 × Aushey for number of fruits, BR-112 × Arka sheel for fruit weight, PBR-61 × Azad Kranti for fruit length showed significant and positive heterosis over better parent. None of the crosses displayed significant and positive heterosis for number of fruits, fruit weight and fruit girth over best parent.
