Abstract
The present work was carried out at Vegetable Private Farm at Bani Amer Village, Zagazig Distract, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt during the two summer seasons of 2017 and 2018, to study the performance of some eggplant genotypes, i.e., Little Fingers ( L.F.), Ping Tung ( P.T.), Antigua (An.), Aswad (As.) , Japanese White Egg (J.W.E.) , Apple Green (A.G.) , Rotonda Bianca Stumata di Rosa ( R.B.S.) , Korean Red (K.R.), Black Oblong (B.O.) and Black Very Long (B.V.L.) and evaluate them under different plant spacings, (30, 45 and 60 cm) on growth , yield and its components and fruit quality under clay soil.
These treatments were arranged in a split plot design with three replicates. Plant spacing’s were randomly arranged in the main plots and genotypes were randomly distributed in the sub plots. The obtained results could be summarized as follows:
5.1 Vegetative growth
At the end of growing season, transplanting of eggplant s at 60 cm (wide spacing) increased number of branches/plant, number of leaves/plant and dry weight of leaves, at 45 cm increased leaf area/plant and at 30 cm (narrow spacing) gave the tallest plant in both seasons.
Rotanda Bianca Stumata diRosa (RBS) and Black very long (BVL) cultivars recorded the tallest plants, whereas Apple green (AG) recorded the shortest plants at the end of growing season in both seasons. Korean Red (KR) cultivar gave the highest values of number of branches/plant and leaf area/ plant , whereas Black
