Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Olericulture Division, Horticulture Research Center (HRC) of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur, Bangladesh, during the period from September 2018 to April 2019 to study the effect of different rootstock for higher eggplant production. Among the five treatments, it could be concluded that eggplant can be grafted on four rootstocks viz., BARI Begun-8 (BB8), EG203, S. sisymbriifolium (SS), F1 (21×11) with desired scions- BARI Begun-5. In case of important yield and yield contributing characters viz., average fruit weight, fruit yield/ plant, fruit length and fruit width showed better performances when BB5 was grafted onto BB5/BB8 [186.67 g, 3.92 kg/ plant, 10.37 cm, 8.20 cm] and BB5/F1 (21×11) [186.67 g, 3.98 kg/ plant, 10.17 cm, 7.90 cm]. Among the 4 grafted treatments, BB5/F1 (21×11) (51.70 t/ha), BB5/BB8 (50.96 t/ha) and BB5/EG203 (45.61 t/ha) produced more than 45 t/ha. So, these three rootstocks may be selected considering higher yield. However, the study was conducted during winter season. So, to draw a complete conclusion it is needed to conduct this experiment during summer season.
