| Experiment Title | Study of planting geometry and date of transplanting on growth and yield of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) under South Gujarat condition. | ||
| Research Type | Departmental Trail | ||
| Experiment Background | Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) is a member of the Solanaceae family and having the chromosome number is 2n= 24. It is also known as ‘Aubergine’ an economically important vegetable crop widely cultivated in the tropics and subtropics regions. Brinjal is named as “Poor man’s vegetable” because of its low cost of production, ease of culture and availability throughout the year. Optimum plant spacing ensures proper growth and development of plants resulting in maximum fruit yield and economic use of land. Lesser competition between plants and larger amount of available nutrients and soil moisture for vigorous growth of fruit parameters in widely spaced plants as compare to closer spacing. The plants grown with wider spacing produce maximum number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, canopy spread, total dry matter production, yield and nutrient uptake. Further, higher spacing in brinjal recorded significantly lower shoot and fruit borer infestation compare to closer spacing (Sollapur and Hiremath, 2016). On the other hand, knowledge of optimum time of transplanting and optimum plant spacing would be useful to achieve good yield and quality of brinjal. Examination of the interaction of environment and cultural methods will lead to a better understanding of the development of brinjal and contribute to sustained yield. | ||
