Influence of physicomorphic and biochemical resistance attributing characters on brinjal fruit yield was investigated in sixty genotypes and three check cultivars during kharif 2017-18 at college of Horticulture, Venkataramannagudem to select the elite genotypes for crop improvement programme towards higher yield. The fruit yield in brinjal genotypes showed negative and highly significant correlation with shoot thickness (r = -0.8100), significantly high positive correlation with trichomes on leaf lamina (r = 0.8520), significantly high positive correlation with trichomes on shoot (r = 0.7530), non-significant negative correlation with plant height (r = -0.1730), number of branches (r = -0.1760) and plant spread (r =0.0530), fruit length (r = -0.0940), fruit diameter (-0.0700), non-significant positive correlation with pedicel length (r = 0.0600), highly significant positive correlation with calyx length (r = 0.5790) whereas phenol in shoot (r = 0.7870), fruit (r=0.8190), peroxidase i
