Abstract

India contributes about 25% to world’s total brinjal production (48.42 mt) and occupies second position after China (28.82 mt). In India, the crop is cultivated on 0.70 mha and occupies fourth position in area after potato (1.91 mha), tomato (0.87 mha) and chilli pepper (0.79 mha) (FAO 2014). In north-western plain zone of India, the crop productivity is affected severely due to low temperature and frost during mid-December to mid- February (Singh and Kalda 2001) resulting in high market price in spring and early summer.
