The research was conducted to study the efficiency of organic amendments in seven brinjal
cultivars. As organic sources, the performance of liquid manures viz., Sasyagavya, and enriched
Sanjeevani were compared with untreated (control) for growing seven open-pollinated varieties namely
HABR-21, Swarna Abhilamb, Swarna Shree, Swarna Shobha, Swarna Pratibha, Swarna Mani, and
Swarna Shyamli. Different growth, yield, and quality attributing characters were studied and Swarna
Shyamli wasfound to give the highest yield (63.50 t. ha-1) under Enriched Sanjeevani treatment.
Besides, Swarna Shree performed well in the expression for growth and yield attributes. Reducing
sugar (6.76%) and ascorbic acid content (32.21 mg 100g-1) were found to be the highest in Swarna
Mani. In general, Enriched Sanjeevani was observed to be better performing treatment compared to
Sasyagavya and Untreated (control). Therefore, it might be concluded that Swarna Shyamli and
Swarna Shree are suitable brinjal varieties for organic cultivation using Enriched Sanjeevani (10%).
