Abstract
The genotypes of brinjal were assessed for genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance of growth and yield characters. The present investigation was carried out during rabi season of 2021 in randomized block design with three replications. The analysis of variance revealed significant variation for all the traits among the genotypes. High genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was observed for the traits such as fruit weight (99.24 % and 99.27 %), number of fruits per plant (57.33 % and 57.58 %), fruit size index (54.80 % and 54.83 %), fruit length (36.54 % and 36.82 %), fruit circumference (32.16 % and 32.46 %) and fruit yield per hectare (27.26 % and 27.42 %) indicating the existence of wider variability among the genotypes for different characters. High heritability in broad sense along with high genetic advance as percent of mean was found in suggesting that these traits can be improved through direct selection due to the existence of additive gene action.
