 ABSTRACT

An experiment “Effect of weather parameters on growth, yield and insect pest infestation on brinjal varieties under different planting windows” was carried out at Faculty of Agriculture Department of Agricultural Meteorology Farm, Centre for Advanced Agricultural Meteorology, College of Agriculture, Pune   during Kharif seasons of 2014 and 2015.
The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The treatment comprised of three brinjal hybrids viz.,V1:Phule Arjun, V2: Krishna, V3:  Panchganaga as main plot and four planting windows viz., P1: 31st MW (30 July-5 August), P2: 32ndMW (6-12August), P­3: 33rdMW (13-19 August) and P4: 34thMW (20-26 August) as sub plot treatments.
Yield contributing characters viz., fruit length  (7.71 and 8.16 cm ) , fruit diameter (8.85 and 9.38), fruit weight plant-1 (4.07 and 4.30 ), 50% flowering  (48 and 51), days to  first picking (81 and 86), days to last picking  (138 and 146) during 2014 to 2015 respectively, which were observed significantly higher in 31stMW(1th week of  August) and  was at par with 32nd MW planting windows .This was followed by 33rd MW values in all the yield attributes. The lowest values which recorded in 34th MW fourth week of August .Fruit yield (45.15.and 48.79 t ha-1) was higher with 31st MW planting window during 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Keywords: Kharif, MW, Brinjal, Planting Windows.
