Abstract
Comparative performance of brinjal varieties and lines over five years revealed the superiority of SM-141 (Haritha) in terms of yield, quality and resistance to bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum). This culture produces long, light green and glossy cylindrical fruits, with a mean wilt incidence of 9.38 per cent. SM-141 has non-prickly stem and leaves with white flowers and has a mean productivity of 13.5 t ha"1. Considering its performance in the research stations and in farmers' fields, SM-141 has been released as Haritha for the State of Kerala.
