The present investigation was carried out in order to obtained information on the mean performance of cross combinations for genetic improvement in brinjal developed using line x tester analysis at PG student’s research farm, College of Horticulture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. The resultant twenty one single crosses along with ten parents and two standard checks (Arka Anand and Mahy Hari) were evaluated in RBD for twenty yield and yield contributing traits. The analysis of variance of the trial conducted revealed that the replication mean sum of squares due to parents and hybrids were non significant for all the characters studied, which means there is no environmental error in controlling these characters. The mean performance of crosses viz., RCBG-4 x Shyamala (2.73 kg), RCBG-2 x Bhagyamathi (2.66 kg), RCBG-1 x Bhagyamathi (2.63 kg), RCBG-7 x Shyamala (2.43 kg) and RCBG-1 x Shyamala (2.42 kg) were significantly superior to the best commercial check Mahy Hari (1.89 kg). These hybrids may be subjected to multilocational and multiseasonal trials for their release for commercial cultivation.
