Abstract
The
experiment was conducted at the horticultural farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, during the period from October 2010 to March 2011 to study the
effect of pruning on growth and yield of Bringal (BARI Begun-10). The
experiment consisted of different types of pruning (P0: No pruning, control; P1:
3 stem retention and P2: 4 stem retention) of brinjal plants conducted
in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. P2 produced
the maximum number of fruits per plant (39.7), weight of individual fruit (82.1
g) and the highest yield (50.6 t/ha). It may therefore be concluded that
seedling with 4 stem retention was suitable for better growth and yield of BARI
begun 10.
Key words: BARI begun-10, pruning, growth and yield
