Detailed Introduction to the Jinjia No.1 Eggplant Variety
Recently learned from the Tianjin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the academy's Vegetable Research Institute has for the first time used the method of first-generation hybrid vigor to successfully breed a new eggplant variety - "Jinjia No.1", whose disease resistance, quality and yield all greatly exceed those of conventional varieties.
"Jinjia No.1" has a plant height of 72 cm, a compact plant type, and cold tolerance, and is suitable for early-spring protected and open-field early-maturing cultivation in Tianjin and the North China region. Because it is a first-generation hybrid new eggplant variety, it has strong disease resistance and strong resistance to eggplant Verticillium wilt and root rot, and the incidence rates of eggplant Verticillium wilt and root rot decreased by 50% and 65% respectively compared with the control variety. The fruit of this variety is deep purple, with a single fruit weight of 450-550 g, glossy, oblate, with pure white flesh, a tender texture, and good marketable quality.
