Physical parameter viz., weight of fruit, length and Girth of fruit, Shape of fruit and colour of fruit showed notable variation among all the genotypes of brinjal. The genotype Arka Shirish recorded significantly the highest fruit length (18.50cm). However, the genotype R-2581 showed the highest fruit girth (184.75mm). The highest fruit weight was reported by the genotype R-2581 (60.50g). Days to first flowering and minimum days to 50 percent flowering were observed in Swarn Shyamli (42, 56.5 days, respectively).
