“…For all the other traits, positive values of heterosis is considered and the results are in proximity to the work done by Choudhary et al [14], Bhatt et al [15], Shitap et al (2017) and Galani et al [16]. In general, the hybrids with significant heterosis for yield also expressed significant heterosis either for fruit weight or for fruits per plant and this was in agreement with the findings by Singh et al [17], Dutta et al [18], Patel et al [19], Dubey et al [20] and Pandey et al [21]. Crosses showing heterosis for other yield component did not necessarily show heterosis for fruit yield.…”

A field trial was conducted to estimate the magnitude of heterosis in brinjal, for twenty-two characters, during Rabi 2021 at the Main Experiment Station, Department of Vegetable Science, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. 8 parental lines and the 28 F1 hybrids obtained from the parental lines following half-diallel mating design, along with a standard variety, Pant Samrat were evaluated in randomized block design with three replications. Observations were recorded on twenty-two characters viz. days to 50% flowering, days to first fruit harvest, leaf area (cm²), plant height (cm), number of primary branches per plant length of fruit (cm), fruit diameter (cm), fruit length/circumference ratio, length of peduncle (cm), length of calyx (cm), number of fruits per cluster, number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight (g), fruit yield per plant (kg), crop duration, dry matter content (%), TSS (%), total phenol content (mg/100g), reducing sugars (%), non-reducing sugar (%), total sugars (%) and ascorbic acid content (mg/100g). The study revealed that significant heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis were observed for all the characters under study. The crosses P2 x P4 (42.42% and 25.12%) and P1 x P4 (41.73% and 14.15%) exhibited considerable heterosis over the better parent and the standard variety respectively, which may be commercially exploited for cultivation under sodic soils due to their high yield and desirable fruit qualities.
