Brinjal or eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is one of the most common vegetable crop in India. Fruit yield of brinjal is a polygenic in nature and is influenced by environmental factors. Looking towards the great extent of diversity present in various quantitative traits among the genotypes of brinjal there is a tremendous scope for improvement in economic traits through conventional breeding. A knowledge of combining ability helps to make choice of the parents for hybrids and to know the nature of gene action as a basis of choosing an effective breeding methodology. Combining ability is a pre-requisite in any plant breeding programme either for varietal improvement or for evolving a hybrid. The general
