Abstract
Two years field experiments were conducted, to evaluate of five eggplant i.e. Balady Black, Black Beauty, Florada Market, Selection2 and Selection3 genotypes on the vegetative growth, yield and its components traits of eggplant under the Al-Kharj region, Saudi Arabia conditions during the seasons of 2018 and 2019. Plant height (cm), number of branches on the plant, days to 50% flowering, fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), Fruit Weight (g), early yield (ton / fed) and total yield (ton / fed) were determined. The results indicated that there were significant differences in all studied characters in both studied seasons. The highest values of plant height were obtained from both genotypes strain Selection 3 and Black balady. The highest value of number of branches on the plant was obtained from cultivar Black Beauty. Both Selection 3 and black balady genotypes were exhibited earlier genotypes for days to 50% flowering in 2018 and 2019 season respectively. The highest fruit length was obtained from eggplant genotype Florada Market 10. Black beauty was significantly higher than other genotypes for fruit diameter character in both studied seasons. While, Florada Market 10 genotype showed the highest values for fruit weight. Both eggplant strain Selection 3 and Black Beauty gave the highest values of early yield. On the other hand, Black Beauty exhibited the highest values for total yield and was significantly higher than other eggplant genotypes under Al-Kharj region conditions.
