Nine genotypes of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) viz., Arka Kesav, Arka Neelkanth, Hisar Shyamal, Pusa Purple Cluster, Pusa Purple Long, SM 6–6, SM 6–7, Arka Nidhi and Punjab Barsati were evaluated from 1996–98 for the incidence of bacterial wilt and attack of fruit and shoot borer in mid hills of Himachal Pradesh. The genotypes Arka Kesav, Arka Neelkanth, Arka Nidhi and SM 6–6 were observed to be resistant to bacterial wilt whereas fruit borer incidence in these varieties varied from 2.88 (Arka Kesav) to 5.64 (SM 6–6) per cent. Apart from this, these cultivars also possessed good agronomic traits.
