Let's grow brinjal easily

 Let's grow  brinjal easily Soil - Well-drained, fine-grained soil is suitable for brinjal cultivation. It is best to maintain the soil pH between 5.5 - 5.8. Climatic requirements - brinjal can be grown in areas with good sunlight, from sea level to an altitude of about 1300 meters. Seed requirement - About 350 grams per hectare. Nursery Management - Beds of 3 meters by 1 meter, arranged to receive the best sunlight, are suitable. The beds should be seeded. Add soil and manure in a 1:1 ratio. The seeds should be placed in rows with a spacing of 6 inches. Land preparation - Turn and level the land with a hoe or tractor. Planting - Plant the seedlings about 25-30 days old in prepared beds, one seedling per hole. Spacing - 90 cm x 60 cm. Watering - In dry areas, brinjal can also be cultivated with rainwater. Watering should be done to obtain a successful harvest and maintain it as a profitable crop. It is important to water the soil well during dry periods without allowing it...

How to transplant plants

 Producing new plants by grafting

  • Grafting is the act of joining a part of a plant to a part of another plant of the same genus and growing it as a single plant.
  • Here the plant attached to the soil is called the receiver and the foreign plant is called the supporter
  • There are several methods of transplanting plants

Plant breeding methods

1.Bud graft

  • Plaster graft
  • H graft
  • T graft :-
                Upright T joint
                Inverted T joint

2.Shoot transplant

  • Sprout wedge grafting
  • Arch implant
How the transplant is done

  • In bud grafting methods, the cutting of the recipient plant is always used and the rootstock is brought as a bud and grafted to the recipient.
  • After that, the grafting tape is done from the bottom of the recipient trunk up
  • At seven to ten days post-implantation, the graft volume should be removed and checked
  • If the graft remains green, the graft is successful

  • If the graft is successful, leave the graft again and do the graft tape
  • After about twenty-one days, remove the graft tape and cut away the recipient stem five centimeters from the graft junction
  • It is very important to use the secretary for this
  • After that all the remaining shoots should be removed to allow the secondary shoots to grow


How to perform wedge graft

The receiver stem should be cut off ten to fifteen centimeters above the ground with secateurs

With a sharp knife, cut the stem about three centimeters down the middle


Remove the lower leaves of the root shoot and cut the lower end into a wedge using two sharp cuts.

Fit the follower into the slot of the receiver

Then wrap the graft from bottom to top with polythene tape

Remove the polythene after seven days

If the root remains green, the transplant is successful

If the graft is successful, save the graft again and perform the grafting with the graft tape
