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 to dry out. Watering is essential with every fertilizer application. Excessive water supply is not suitable for brinjal cultivation.
Weed Control - It is advisable to keep the crop free of weeds at all times from the time the crop is established until harvest. However, the area should be free of weeds, especially during the first 2 weeks after planting the brinjal plants and during the flowering and fruiting stages. Weeds should also be controlled before applying fertilizer.
Possible damage to brinjal cultivation
Fungal diseases - downy mildew, base rot, powdery mildew, anthracnose, phomosis blight.
Bacterial diseases - Bacterial infections.
Harvesting - The first harvest can be obtained between 10-12 weeks after planting. After this, the harvest can be harvested every 7 days. A harvest of up to 15-18 tons per hectare can be obtained. This can be obtained for up to 8-10 harvest seasons.
