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...

Impact of weather and climate on agriculture.

 Impact of weather and climate on agriculture.


Agriculture and weather are two integrated topics. With this reason, weather and climate affect agriculture. It can be divided into two parts, good and bad.

Compared to climate, the impact of weather on agriculture is greater. The change in the atmosphere within a short period of time is called weather. For example, rain, drought, hurricanes and more.


Benefits of weather to agriculture.

  1. The water requirement of crops is met by normal rainfall.
  2. Rain helps to maintain optimum water level in the soil.
  3. Temperature control.
  4. Enhanced pollination by optimal winds.
  5. Accumulation of water in reservoirs by rain.


Disadvantages of weather to agriculture.

  • Heavy rain.
  • Occurrence of floods.
  • Drought conditions occur.
  • Whirlwind conditions occur.
  • Depletion of nutrients in the soil by heavy rains.
  • Impairment of soil aeration.
  • Depletion of soil organisms.
  • Increased pest damage due to excessive rain.
  • Crop yields are affected by nutrient leaching.


Actions that can be taken to protect crops from weather calamities

  • Starting cultivation at the right time of the year.
  • Application of ridges in areas where soil erosion is likely to occur.
  • Avoiding soil erosion by using ridges while cultivating in sloping areas.
  • Maintain proper spacing between crops.
  • Early detection and treatment of pest damage.
  • Cultivation on high ground in an area prone to flooding.
  • Adding wind barriers.
  • Commencement of cultivation according to meteorological data provided by meteorological stations.

Growing watermelons For watermelon cultivation, Sandy soil Long sunlight Water Space The method of growing watermelons from seeds and grafting can be used. The tax system makes it easier to obtain yields quickly and to manage and maintain the crop properly. When selecting watermelon seeds, seeds with a germination percentage of 85%-90% should be selected. Also, the seeds should be free from diseases. When growing large-fruited crops, there should be a spacing of 24-30 square feet per plant. The average spacing between r...
