Abstract

An investigation were carried out identify their characteristics for susceptibility/ resistance against brinjal shoot and fruit borer (Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee.) infestation in Rabi season 2013-14 and 2014-15. Thirty eggplant germplasm/accessions were evaluated for resistance to shoot and fruit borer. Minimum mean infestation in shoot and fruits was found in genotype Punjab Sadabahar, PLR-1, DBR-31, NURBEE, NDB-3, PUSA PURPLE LONG, NDHB-2, NDHB-3 while maximum mean infestation in fruits was recorded in Swarna mani, BR-112.
