摘要: This study elucidated the influence of harvesting height and frequency on concurrent seed shoots production African Eggplant, Solanum macrocarpon L., cv. Igbagba/Igbo. The overall aim was to use outcome make recommendations that would enable resource poor farmers secure much needed increase in income for improved livelihoods. carried out between April November 2004 National Horticultural Research Institute (NIHORT) Ibadan, Nigeria commercial vegetable fields. Result shows at 0.08 m above ground level optimal significantly highest leaf, stem, shoot, total yields except 0.12 production. result financial profitability analysis fortnightly most profitable shoot compared all treatment combinations.
