This experiment was carried out with the objective to study and compare the quality characteristics of organic and conventionally cultivated brinjal . ‘Haritha ’ variety of brinjal was selected for the study. Parameters like, physical characteristics, chemical and nutrient composition, anti nutrient profile, shelf life, sensory qualities and pesticide residues were studied. Length and breadth of conventionally cultivated brinjal were significantly greater than organic brinjal. Sensory quality analysis revealed significantly higher values for conventionally cultivated brinjal,They also revealed pesticide residue.However nutrient composition were found to be on par.
