Abstract
The aim of this research was to determine the most suitable pruning method for eggplants grown in greenhouses.
Dusky F1, Vittoria F1, Valentina F1, Indra F1, Sicilia F1,, Palmira F1, and Imperial F1 eggplant cultivars were used in the experiment.
Fruit yield and the quality of experimental plants pruned to two primary shoots and three primary shoots were compared with the unpruned ones.
As a result, both pruning types increased the plant length and the first quality fruit yield, and decreased the second class and waste fruits in all cultivars.
There was no significant difference between the pruning types in respect of total fruit yield.
