“…Our results show that the fruits of the scarlet and gboma eggplant varieties evaluated present a high moisture content, similar to common eggplant, and a low content of protein, although with greater values than the latter (Raigón et al, 2008;Chinedu et al, 2011;San José et al, 2013. pH is a trait of interest in eggplants as it may affect the eggplant PPO activity (Concellón et al, 2004;Todaro et al, 2011) and in consequence fruit flesh browning (Plazas et al, 2013b).…”

“…This will require the study of the variation and identification of sources of variation for the traits of interest and also will benefit from hybridization for obtaining new genetic combinations with enhanced values for the target traits (Diamanti et al, 2011). Many studies have been devoted to the composition of common eggplant and its diversity (Stommel and Whitaker, 2003;Hanson et al, 2006;Raigón et al, 2008;San José et al, 2013;Kaur et al, 2014). Regarding scarlet and gboma eggplants, which are important crops in Africa and have a potential interest for common eggplant breeding, few studies deal with their composition (Sánchez-Mata et al, 2010;Chinedu et al, 2011;Plazas et al, 2014b;Nyadanu and Lowor, 2015).…”

“…Scarlet eggplant parents had less moisture content than common eggplant parents, indicating that the former species may be of interest to increase the dry matter content of common eggplant, which is a trait of interest for the processing industry (Raigón et al, 2008;Puig et al, 2012).…”

R E S U M OPropôs-se, neste trabalho, avaliar a interação de níveis de salinidade da água de irrigação associada a doses de nitrogênio sobre a produção de frutos de berinjela. O experimento foi conduzido em ambiente protegido do Departamento de Ciências Ambientais e Tecnológicas -UFERSA. O experimento obedeceu a um delineamento de blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 4 x 6, com quatro repetições e quatro níveis de condutividade elétrica da água de irrigação (0,5; 2, 4 e 6 dS m -1 ) além de seis doses de nitrogênio (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 e 30 g planta -1 ). Seis colheitas foram realizadas nas quais se analisaram as seguintes variáveis: número de frutos, comprimento, diâmetro e massa média de frutos e produção total de frutos por planta. Após a análise estatística dos dados verificou-se efeito negativo da salinidade sobre todas as variáveis analisadas. Doses de nitrogênio acima de 5 g planta -1 não aumentaram a produção de frutos da berinjela mas aumentaram o efeito deletério da salinidade sobre o seu rendimento. A eficiência agronômica do nitrogênio é reduzida com o aumento na dose de N e da salinidade.Interaction between water salinity and nitrogen fertilization on the eggplant crop A B S T R A C TThe objective of this study was to evaluate the interaction of salinity of irrigation water levels associated with nitrogen doses on yield of eggplant crop. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse of the Department of Environmental Sciences and Technology -UFERSA. The experiment followed a randomized block design in a 4 x 6 factorial, with four replications, with four levels of electrical conductivity of irrigation water (0.5, 2, 4 and 6 dS m -1 ) and six levels of nitrogen (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 g plant -1 ). Six measurements were conducted, in which the following variables were analysed: number of fruits, length, diameter and mean fruit weight, and total yield per plant. After statistical analysis of the data, it was verified that there was a negative effect of salinity on all variables. Nitrogen levels above 5 g plant -1 did not increase fruit yield of eggplant, and increased the deleterious effect of salinity on the yield of eggplant. The agronomic efficiency of nitrogen is reduced with increasing dose of N and salinity.

Palavras-chave:Um dos principais fatores que afetam a produção da berinjela é a qualidade da água utilizada na irrigação visto que o estresse salino provoca alterações morfofisiológicas, tais como: desequilíbrio nutricional, redução na condutância estomática e menores proporções nas taxas de transpiração, fotossíntese e concentração interna de CO 2 nas folhas, resultando morfologicamente em...

“…Raigón et al (2008) reported the quantities of phenolics and mineral salts that eggplant provides for the human diet. The global mean values were the following (in mg/100 g fresh weight (FW): 48.26 phenolics, 26.6 phosphorus, 198.5 potassium, and 0.062 copper.…”

Caruso G., Pokluda R., Sekara A., Kalisz A., Jezdinský A., Kopta T., Grabowska A. (2017): Agricultural practices, biology and quality of eggplant cultivated in Central Europe. A review. Hort. Sci. (Prague), 44: 201-212.The eggplant is a warm-climate crop of high economic importance. In many Asian and Mediterranean countries, eggplants are essential components of everyday dishes, while in Central Europe they have become popular only in recent years. Eggplants are harvested at an immature stage and have low storage value; therefore, the sale of fruits in local markets requires an appropriate production strategy. In Poland, consumer demand for eggplants is currently met by imports and domestic production, which, until recently, has been carried out only in greenhouses, ensuring the availability of fresh fruits but resulting in high selling prices. The demand for eggplants is growing among Polish consumers, and, accordingly, field production is expected to gradually gain in importance due to the fruit's profitability. Accordingly, the biology and farming practices of this warm-climate crop remain in the investigation phase in temperate climate. This review aims to report the status of current knowledge regarding the technologies affecting the biology, cultivation, and nutritional value of eggplant grown in temperate climatic zone.
