Performance of Arka Mahima (Tetraploid) against Arka Sanjeevini (Diploid) varieties of wild brinjal (Solanum viarum Dunal) under different plant spacings and fertility levels.

The field experiments for two successive years were conducted during kharif 1996–97 and 1997–98. The maximum dry berries yield was obtained with Arka sanjeevini, however the solasodine content and yield were more in Arka Mahima. The fertilizer application @ 90.60:60: kg N, P 2O 5 and K 2O per hectate recorded highest dry berries yield and solasodine content and yield. The plant spacing did not influence the dry berries and solasodine yield.
