Abstract
Two new eggplant F1 hybrid varieties named 'Tanglaw' (NSIC 2013 Eg03H) and 'Tanyag' (NSIC 2013 Eg02H) developed by Crop Science Cluster - Institute of Plant Breeding, University of the Philippines, Los Baños were approved for commercial cultivation in Luzon by the National Seed Industry Council (NSIC) on October 18, 2013. These eggplant F. hybrids were evaluated under the national Cooperative Testing for Vegetable during CY 2012-2013. 'Tanglaw' and 'Tanyag' equalled and surpassed during the WS and DS, respectively, the marketable yield potential of the commercial hybrid check, Morena. The two new hybrids possess purple, elongated and medium-length fruits (19 cm.), flower 2-3 days earlier and have more fruits per kg than the check. The field reactions against sucking arthropod pests were resistant to moderately resistant. The availability of comparable eggplant F1 hybrids from hybrids from the public sector could provide eggplant farmers in Luzon a wide selection of good seeds at more affordable prices.
