Eggplant (Solanam melongena L.), Brinjal, Aubergine, Terung (in Malaysia) is a bisexual flower bearing perennial fruit vegetable plants but cultivated as annual. As eggplant produce bisexual flowers so they are normally self-pollinated but in some extent cross-pollinated as well. So, for varietal improvement and new hybrid variety development emasculation (removal of anther) is done from selected female parent and then cross-pollination/hybridization is done manually using pollen collected from selected male parent.  And the entire procedure is done through proper emasculation, bagging and tagging. So, in this video I have tried to show how to do the emasculation, cross-pollination and hybridization.
