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...

Importance of crop classification

Importance of crop classification


  1. During grounding
  2. When applying fertilizers
  3. To select plants for transplanting
  4. To use chemical herbicides
  5. For pest control

  1. During grounding
  • Land preparation varies according to different crops.

  • Example:-Potato crops require a fairly high soil preparation, while cereals and legumes do not require soil preparation.

      2.When applying fertilizers

  • It is easy to apply that fertilizer mixture to crops in the same set.

 Examples:-  A single fertilizer mixture can be applied to the gourd crops

       3.To pick a crop for planting
  • Transplanting plants of different genera is difficult
  • Grafting between two plants of the same genus is effective
  • The connection between two phenomena of the same specialty is very important

       4.When using chemical herbicides

In the application of chemical herbicides, the morphological characteristics of the crops are also exploited in addition to their excellent performance.

       5.For pest control
  • Repeated planting of crops of the same genus in close proximity to each other or on the same soil increases pest damage.

  • Crops of the genus Solanaceae are susceptible to stunting disease by replanting them in the same soil.

  • Cultivation of leguminous or Cruciparaceae after Cucurbitaceae crops can control the damage of whiteflies.
  • Weeds can be controlled by planting sweet potato, a crop of Convolvulaceae, after chillies, a crop of the genus Solanaceae.

Anuradhapura is 40 km away, Habarana is 30 km and Dambulla is 10 km. This tank system irrigates 18,000 hectares of subsidized paddy cultivation area. The agro-ecological zone has an annual rainfall between 75 mm and 900 mm. The altitude is between 165 and 175 meters above sea level. In this area, paddy cultivation, vegetable cultivation and gardening are done as grants. The average temperature in this area is between 29 and 35 degrees Celsius.
