FB-Yamini (4070) F1 is a semi erect brinjal hybrid bearing medium long ellipsoidal fruit in a clean pink colour at 100-125 g, solitary on the plant. Its two most valuable traits for a grower are the non-spiny green calyx, which speeds up picking and handling, and colour retention even at high temperatures - pink brinjals commonly fade in summer heat. High disease resistance supports a long picking period.
