Dero, B.N.
Brinjal variety "Black Beauty" was used, treatments included T1 = Raised beds at 60x45 cm Inter and Intra row spacing, T2 = Raised beds at 90 x 60 cm Inter and Intra row spacing, T3 = Ridges at 60 x 45 cm Intra and Inter row spacing, T4 = Ridges at 90 x 60 cm Inter and Intra row spacing, T5 = Flat bed at 60 x 45 cm Inter and Intra row spacing and T6 = Flat bed at 90 x 60 cm Inter and Intra row spacing. NPK fertilizers were applied in the form of urea, single superphosphate and muriate of potash. The data were collected on the basis of randomly selected five plants in each plot. The results indicated that all the growth and fruit yield characters of brinjal were significantly affected by different sowing patterns, with the exception of number of days taken to initiate flower and the number of days taken to first fruit harvest, where non-significant (P greater than 0.05) effects were observed.
