Background: Brinjal or eggplant (Solanum Melongena L.), a member of solanacea family, is one of the most common vegetable crops grown in India. Brinjal is staple vegetable in almost all tropical countries in the world and liked by both poor and rich. Its nutritive value varies among varieties. It contains vitamin A and B. Since there is a common belief that it is not good vegetable more while brinjal may have the medicinal property like white brinjal which is used for Diabetics patients. The basic concept underlying the principles is the maintenance and improvement of soil fertility for sustaining crop productivity on a long-term basis, which can be achieved through the combined use of various sources of nutrients and by managing them scientifically along with optimum growth, yield and quality of crop. Considering the above facts, the present study was therefore under taken to investigate the intergraded management on yield and yield contributing characters of brinjal and on soil pr...

Effect of Agnihotra and Amritjal on Growth, Yield and Quality of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)
2018
Brinjal is a crop grown widely all over India and loved by both rich and poor. The Chhotanagpur region especially of Jharkhand is famous for rampant vegetable production. There is a wide use of chemical and synthetic fertilizers that are so expensive that poor farmers can’t afford it. The high use of chemicals and synthetics also reduces the quality of both the produce and the cultivated soil. In this context, attempts have been made combining solutions for both of the problems by conducting a varietal trial using four non-chemical alternative growing conditions viz. E1C1: Amritjal (1%), E1C2: Absolute Control (Inherent Fertility Status of Experimental Soil); E2C1: Amritjal (1%) + Homa Induction (Agnihotra), and E2C2: Only Homa Induction (Agnihotra) by employing five local varieties viz. V1: Swarna Pratibha; V2: Swarna Neelima; V3: Swarna Shakti; V4: Mukta Jhuri; V5: Long Green. The experimental was designed after RBD with three replications. The studied growth, yield and quality attributing characters revealed that the maximum yield (91.41 ± 6.05 t.ha-1) in Swarna Neelima as recorded by the treatment E2C1: Amritjal (1%) + Homa Induction (Agnihotra) because of its supply of high nutrition through soil and air. Whereas in quality parameters like TSS and Chlorophyll etc. are in different varieties also performed best in E2C1: Amritjal (1%) + Homa Induction (Agnihotra) condition. Coming to the varieties, the variety V2 (Swarna Neelima) has recorded the highest yield (91.41 ± 6.05 t.ha-1). But the variety V3 (Swarna Shakti) performed well in terms of its quality parameters like TSS (5.98 ± 0.110Brix), reducing sugar (3.76 ± 0.04%) content etc. Considering both the variety and alternative growing conditions, V2 (Swarna Neelima) emerged as the best performing variety under the growing condition of E2C1: Amritjal (1%) + Homa Induction (Agnihotra). The expression of different studied quality traits performed independently under the influences of alternative growing conditions.. However, the highest B:C ratio of 6.72 has been recorded in V2 (Swarna Neelima) particularly when cultivated through the alternative growing condition of E2C1: Amritjal (1%) + Homa Induction (Agnihotra). So, it may be concluded that Swarna Neelima variety of brinjal is highly suitable for cultivation in the south Chhotanagpur plateau of Jharkhand by using alternative growing condition of E2C1: Amritjal (1%) + Homa Induction (Agnihotra).

The investigation was carried out to examine the yield attributes of brinjal in relation to different growing media and various levels of nitrogen and potassium in modified Hoagland solution. Brinjal were planted and grown in poly bags and drip fertilizing system with different concentration of N and K nutrients based on modified Hoagland solution in two different medium viz., river sand and coco peat. Hence, an experiment was carried out on "Optimizing the varied levels of nitrogen and potassium on yield of soil-less culture of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) using different media" in the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Tamilnadu, India during January-April 2018. Results showed that among the different media and nutrient solution, both influenced the yield characters and plants grown under coco peat medium with 125% of N and K modified Hoagland solution (298ppm N and 330 ppm K) significantly improved the quantitative properties of brinjal.
A field experiment was conducted at the College of Agriculture Sciences, Agriculture Research Field of International University of Business Agriculture and Technology (IUBAT), Uttara, Dhaka, to optimize nitrogen requirements for growth and yield response of brinjal (S. melongena). There were six treatments of urea viz., 0, 275, 300, 325, 350 and 375 kg ha -1 and the experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. The texture of the experimental soil was sandy loam and fertility status was very low. Parameters measured include: plant height, number of leaves plant -1 , leaf area, number of branches plant -1 , number of flower clustersplant -1 , number of flowersplant -1 , fruit diameter, fruits length, number of fruitsplant -1 , fruit weight and yield. Present study results revealed that application of the highest dose of urea showed positive significant influence on growth and reproductive characters of brinjal (S. melongena). Similarly, yield and yield contributing characters of brinjal (S. melongena) increased with the increasing rates of urea. The highest yield (18.0 ton ha -1 ) was obtained from the application of 375 kg ha -1 urea, while the lowest yield (10.1 ton ha -1 ) was found from the control treatment. Thus, the overall study results suggested that 375 kg ha -1 urea performed the best in context Agriculture Research Field soils of IUBAT, Uttara, Dhaka. The study concluded that before final recommendation of the application dose, further study is needed in different agro-ecological zones of Bangladesh.
