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...

Modern agriculture

 Modern agriculture

Modern agricultural technology is currently aimed at covering the food supply of the growing population. Agriculture is facing a lot of challenges here. Labor shortage, pest damage, market demand, supply cost are the big challenges for agriculture.


Successful solutions to these problems are currently being developed together with entrepreneurship and agriculture. As a result, many value-added products are now entering the market.

Agricultural productivity is transmitted to the consumer in a very effective way. Modern technology has entered agriculture for this method. Biotechnology, modern irrigation, automation, household vertical farming, livestock technology, greenhouse technology, artificial intelligence.  Agriculture has reached a productive new state through such a wide range of technologies.

Livestock Technology - Introducing modern livestock technology has solved many of the problems seen in traditional livestock technology.  Lack of labor, knowledge, providing the necessary nutrition to the animals at the time of need can be seen as previous problems. For this, through the new technology, automatic feeding can be provided, animal data can be collected and the daily health levels of the animals can be easily monitored. In addition, the milking of the animals  , such activities have also become automatic.


Modern Greenhouses
- With the help of modern greenhouse technology, a big agricultural change has taken place in the world. With the popularization of greenhouses, greenhouse cultivation has started in urban areas. This has helped to reduce food shortage to a large extent.  Also, modern lighting systems and automatic control systems have combined and greenhouses have become very advanced.

Artificial intelligence for agriculture - Artificial intelligence can monitor the conditions of the cultivation land / cultivation medium very quickly and thus understand the data obtained very quickly and apply the necessary solutions and pesticides for diseases by this artificial intelligence.  Management, lighting, temperature management etc. through artificial intelligence.  is done more efficiently.

Advanced Irrigation Systems - Water accumulating in the cultivated land is a major problem in agriculture. Although this can be solved by applying traditional methods, they are not 100 percent efficient methods.  In order to make this work more efficient, things like modern canal systems have been introduced to treat the waste water and reuse it and to drain the accumulated water on the land. With these advanced irrigation systems, it is possible to get water to the cultivated land from a distant water source very efficiently.

Use of modern machinery - This can be seen as a very efficient technology. It is very easy to plant seeds, manage pests and harvest large scale crops. Another advantage of modern harvesting machines is that they are very safe to harvest.  For example, the seeds are removed from the corn cob and only the seeds are collected easily  can.


In addition to this, the use of drones to apply pesticides is also joining agriculture very rapidly. The special advantage here is that pesticides can be sprayed over a large area in a very short time.

Irrigation system in Sri Lanka

Irrigation system in Sri Lanka  Among the irrigation systems in the dry zone of Sri Lanka, tank systems are the oldest. In Anuradhapura District, Sri Lanka, there is a lake system of 12 lakes. It has been created in the vicinity of Malwatu Oya and Yan Oya in Palugaswewa area. It is located 175 km inland from the capital Colombo. 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. The Sinhalese, Tamil and Muslim people live in the vicinity of this lake system and the other crops grown are paddy, onion, chillies, cucumber, sesame, cow's milk, vegetables, fruits, etc. and they also cultivate fres...
