ABSTRACT
The highest chlorophyll `a` content was recorded in the variety BLO 101 (0.74) and was found significantly different from other varieties/lines except BLO 114 and khotkhotia-1. The lowest amount of chlorophyll `a` content was observed in the variety Nayankajal (0.43), which was also significantly different from that of other varieties/lines. The chlorophyll `a` content was negatively correlated (-0.146) with brinjal shoot and fruit borer (BSFB) infestation. The highest chlorophyll `b` content was recorded at 70 DAT. The amount of chlorophyll `b` varied significantly among the varieties/lines at different ages. The lowest chlorophyll `b` content was recorded at 40 DAT (0.26) and it was statistically identical with that of 100 DAT (0.30). The average highest amount of chlorophyll `b` was estimated in the variety Dhohazari-1 (0.45), which was significantly different from that of other varieties/lines except BLO 45. The lowest amount of chlorophyll `b` was obtained in the variety Laffa (0.25), which was significantly different from that of all other varieties/lines. The highest amount of total chlorophyll contents was estimated in the variety BLO 114 (1.109) which was significantly different from that of other varieties/lines. The average lowest amount of total chlorophyll was estimated in the variety Nayankajal (0.83) with the highest infestation.
