Abstract:
Thirty five genotypes of Brinjal were studied in the experimental field of Bangladesh
Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, during the period from September 2010 to
February 2011. There was significant variation for all the characters within genotypes.
The phenotypic coefficient of variation
and cluster
analysis, the genotypes were grouped to six clusters. The highest inter-cluster
distance was between cluster II and III and lowest between V and VI. Cluster VI
showed the maximum intra-cluster distance and II showed the lowest. Genotypes
of cluster I were suitable for no. of branches/plant, cluster II for fruit length,
cluster III for no. of fruit/plant, cluster IV for single fruit weight and yield.
Considering the performances, genotypes SM-111, SM-84, EGN-27, SM-183,
BARI begun-6 might be considered as suitable parents for efficient
hybridization program.
