Interaction of Eggplant Genotypes by Cropping Systems and Correlations between Characters

“…There were high phenotypic and genotypic correlations for mean fruit diameter with mean fruit mass (rP = 0.84 **) and (rG = 0.86) indicating that an increase in fruit diameter would probably result in an increase in the mean fruit mass ( Table 2). The correlation mean fruit diameter x mean fruit mass usually presents high values of correlation and can be proven in studies with other crops, tomato [21], with passion sour [22], passion sweet [23] and chestnut-of-gurguéia [24]. The mean mass of the fruits in turn presented the estimates of the correlations, with positive and high signs, with fruit production per plant (rP = 0.82 *) and (rG = 0.90), being possible to obtain gains in the average production of fruits per plant selecting materials with higher average mass of the fruits (Table 2).…”
