Abstract: Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) popularly known as egg plant belongs to family Solanaceae and India is its center of origin and diversity. It is highly productive and usually finds a place as poor man s crop . The growth, yield and fruit quality of brinjal are largely dependent on number of interacting factors. On the other hand egg plant is a long duration crop with high yield which removes large quantities of nutrients from the soil. An egg-plant crop yielding 60t ha-1 of fruit removes 190 kg N, 10.9 kg P and 12 8kg K from soil. Now-a-days demands for brinjal as a fruit vegetable is increasing rapidly among the vegetable consumers in view of its better fruit color, size and taste only one source of nutrients like chemical fertilizers, organic manures and biofertilizers cannot improve the production or maintain the production sustainability and soil health.
