Spacing And Fertigation In Brinjal (solanum Melongena L.) Grafts: Brinjal, Grafting, Spacing, Fertigation

Research work was undertaken in grafted brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) to standardize spacing and fertigation levels. Brinjal grafts were compared with seedlings (non grafted brinjal) under main crop evaluation. After six months, the plants were pruned to obtain ratoon crop which was evaluated further.Based on this study, cultivation of brinjal grafts under 1 m x 1 m spacing and 100 per cent RDF (200:150:100 kg NPK ha-1) through fertigation proved its superiority for high remuneration than cultivation of brinjal seedlings both in main and ratoon crops.
