Abstract
An experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2013-14 to know the effect of spacing and fertilizer levels on growth, yield, nutrient uptake and available soil nutrients in hybrid brinjal. The plants grown with wider spacing (90 cm x 90 cm) (S 5 ) recorded maximum number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, canopy spread, total dry matter production, yield and nutrient uptake. While, maximum plant height and available soil nutrient status of crop were recorded in closer spacing (75 cm x 60 cm) (S 1 ). Application of higher fertilizer levels (F 3 ) improved the vegetative characters, yield and nutrient uptake significantly. Among interaction effects of spacing and higher fertilizer levels S 5 F 3 (90 cm x 90 cm + 187.5:150:75 kg N, P 2 O 5 and K 2 O/ha) recorded significantly maximum plant height, number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, canopy spread, total dry matter production, yield and nutrient uptake.
