    VARIANCE BALANCED DESIGN FOR DIALLEL CROSSES IN BRINJAL
    (Department of Agricultural Statistics B. A. College of Agriculture Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2021) Charel Yogeshvarbhai Babubhai; Dr. V. B. Darji
    The present investigation was carried out with an aim to work out combining ability of diallel crosses viz., general combining ability and specific combining ability effects tested in variance balanced design (VBD), six parents viz., GOB 1, JBGR 1, KS 331, AB 15-06, AB 17-17 and AB 17-28 were crossed as per diallel method IV to form fifteen crosses. The crossing was carried out at the Main Vegetable Research Station during Late Kharif, 2019 and evaluation of crosses was carried out at the Agronomy Farm during Late Kharif, 2020. The fifteen brinjal crosses were transplanted in six blocks each of size five in variance balanced design (VBD). Observations for twelve traits viz., days to 50 per cent flowering, plant height (cm), number of primary branches per plant, pedicel length (cm), fruit volume (cc), fruit length (cm), fruit girth (cm), average fruit weight (g), number of fruits per plant, fruit yield per plant (kg/plant), total soluble sugar (%), and total phenol (mg/100g) were recorded.
