Abstract: Twenty diverse genotype of brinjal were assessed for nineteen qualitative and quantitative characters in Randomized Block Design with three replication at Vegetable Research Farm, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Central Agricultural University, Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh during May to October, 2017-18. Genetic variability was studied for characters viz., plant height (cm), number of primary branches per plant, days to 50% flowering, days to 50% fruit set, days to 1st harvesting, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight (g), fruit length (cm), fruit girth (cm), number of flower per cluster, number of fruit per cluster, fruit yield per plant (kg). Highly significant differences were observed among the accession. High phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation was observed for number of fruit per cluster, fruit girth, fruit length, fruit yield per plant, fruit weight and number of fruit per plant indicating the existence of wider genetic variability for these traits in the germplasm. High herebility accompanied with high genetic advance was notice for number of fruit per cluster, fruit weight, plant height, fruit length, fruit yield per plant, number of primary branches per plant and fruit girth suggesting that they can be improved through direct selection due to predominant additive variation.
