The nineteen promising progenies were selected based on the characters like plant height, branching habit, earliness, harvesting span, fruit shape, size, colour, yield and their tolerance to incidence of bacterial wilt from F5 generation derived from crossing of 10 selected local types of Brinjal developed from half diallel method, followed by selection of desirable types during subsequent generations. The seeds for raising of F6 generation were followed from selfed fruits of selected progenies of F5 generation. These F6 progenies were raised during present investigation along with recommended check.
