| dc.description.abstract | The present study entitled “Effect of plant density and fertilizers on seed production of brinjal cv. HLB- 25” was carried out at Vegetable Research Farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during autumn-winter season of 2003-04. The experiment comprising three spacing viz., S1 (75 × 60 cm), S2 (60×60cm), S3 (60×50cm) and six fertilizer levels viz., F1 (recommended dose of NPK, 100:50:25 kg/ha), F2 (recommended dose of NPK + Azotobacter), F3 (75% of recommended dose of NPK), F4 (75% recommended dose of NPK + Azotobacter), F5 (50% of recommended dose of NPK), and F6 (50% of recommended dose of NPK + Azotobacter) was laid out in a factorial randomized block design with three replications and 3×3m plot size. Five competitive plants were randomly selected from each experimental treatment to record data on various parameters, which were influenced significantly by various spacing and fertility levels.The plant height increased significantly with decreasing level of spacing, whereas, days to 50% flowering and fruit ripening, total plant biomass, canopy area, fruit length and diameter, average fruit weight, fruits per plant, seed weight per fruits, seed yield per plant, test weight, seed germination and seed vigour index increased significantly with increasing spacing levels. Plant height, total plant biomass and canopy area, fruit length and diameter, average fruit weight, and number of fruits improved significantly with increasing levels of fertility. Similarly, results also showed significant differences for seed yield per plant and per hectare, test weight, seed germination, and seed vigour index. However, the increased fertility levels delayed the flowering and fruit ripening. Significant differences were observed in relation to interaction between spacing and fertility levels for plant height, total plant biomass, fruits per plant, and seed yield per plant and per hectare, which were absent for all other characters investigated. The study suggested that for getting maximum seed yield of brinjal cv. HLB- 25 the crop should be planted at 60x60 cm spacing and supplied with 100:50:25 kg/ha of NPK along with seedling inoculation with Azotobacter. | en_US |
