"Comparative studies of natural, organic, conventional, and precision farming in Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)" was the subject of an inquiry conducted in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 at the Instructional farm in Jambuvadi, Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture, J.A.U., Junagadh. Four treatments of various farming systems-natural farming, organic farming, conventional farming, and precision farming in Brinjal-were used in the experiment, which was set up using the large plot technique. Among the different farming systems, the maximum plant height at 60 DAT (67.11, 68.51 and 67.81 cm), plant height at 90 DAT (76.08, 78.37 and 77.22 cm), plant height at 120 DAT (88.69, 91.94 and 90.32 cm) was observed in precision farming during the year 2023-24, 2024-25 as well as in pooled, respectively. The minimum days to first flower initiation (37.97, 38.73 and 38.35) and days to 50% flowering (41.10, 40.83 and 40.97) was observed in organic farming during the year 2023-24, 2024-25 as well as in pooled, respectively.
