Evaluation Of Four Eggplant (solanum Spp ) Varieties For Seasonal Dynamics And Generation Of High Tolerance Cultivars Through Interspecific Hybridization
Adaptation of solanum cultivars to seasonal dynamics requires the development of new genotypes through interspecific hybridization. Four solanum species (S. melongena, S. macrocarpon, S. gilo and S. aethiopicum.) were characterized for seasonal dynamics in Nsukka agro-ecological zone of Nigeria for potentials for an-all-year-round cultivation. The F1and F2 hybrids generated through interspecific crosses for improvement of the cultivated varieties were also evaluated for yield. The study was conducted between October-February (dry season) and July-September (rainy season) of 2013 to 2015 at Teaching and Research Farm of the Department of Crop Science, University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
