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...
Integrated Pest Management
- Pest damage has a major impact on crop yields
- As a commercial grower, it is important to use integrated pest management to minimize damage to crops and economically
- In integrated pest management, pests such as whitefly, whitefly, thrips, sap-sucking insects and fruit flies, bean flies and leafhoppers can be considered.
- Also, leaf spot viruses, which are spread by herbivorous mites and toxin-absorbing insects, can also be termed as pests.
How the increase in pests affects crop production
- Reducing palatability and pest resistance in developing new cultivars to increase yield and quality
- Beneficial to plant pests in the environment around the field where crop cultivation is carried out
- Pest damage increases due to increased plant vigor and leaf growth using a high nitrogen fertilizer.
- Due to climate change, favorable conditions for the growth of pest population due to increase in environmental temperature
How can integrated pest management reduce these damages?
- Integrated pest management is the planned and combined use of appropriate techniques to reduce the infestation and damage of pests.
- In integrated pest management, pest control is done in an environmentally friendly manner using natural methods and ingredients to minimize cost and time effort.
- Collect all the old crop residues in the field and mix them with the soil except for uprooting and drying three weeks before establishing the new crop.
- Pluck and remove as soon as you see the characteristic virulent symptoms of phytoplasma on weed plants
- Crop rotation from season to season reduces crop damage and disease control
- Creating mixed cropping by growing local crops and new varieties while increasing crop diversity
- Cultivate a tall plant system to prevent vector insects from being blown away by the wind
- By maintaining an insect resistant net or other species of plantation at a height of about two meters above the plantation
