Abstract:
Effect of nitrogen application on number of flowers per plant, number of different types of flowers per plant, length of style, number of fruits per plant and fruit yield/ha of eggplant was investigated under controlled greenhouse conditions. Nitrogen was supplied at 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 kg N/ha with one control (no nitrogen) treatment. Nitrogen supplied at 200 kg N/ha gave best results and significantly produced the highest number of flowers per plant, fruits per plant and yield (32.24 ton/ha) over control plants. Nitrogen failed to influence style length and type of flowers i.e. long, medium, pseudo-short and short styled flowers. Nitrogen application at 150 and 175 kg N/ha showed comparable results with nitrogen applied at 200 kg N/ha.
