Abstract

Brinja1, being widely adaptable, has emerged as a remunerative crop with the advent of high
yielding varieties and F1 hybrids. In this crop both vegetative as well as reproductive phases of
growth proceed simultaneously thereby, it becomes necessary to keep the plants supplied with the
nutrients throughout the growing period. Scrupulous study of the available information shows that
the brinjal gives variable response to the applied fertilizers under different agro-climatic conditions.
Response to nutrients varies from 75 to 300 Kg nitrogen, 30 to 224 Kg phosphorus and 0 to 80 Kg
potassium per hectare. Organic manures, biofertilizers and micronutrients have also been reported
to improve the productivity. It has been observed that there is dire need of authentic fertilizer
recommendations for high yielding Fl hybrids. This article reviews the innovations on these aspects.
