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...
Soil Degradation Soil degradation can be termed as soil degradation due to erosion or reduction in crop productivity due to unknown agro-industrial practices and various human activities. Causes of soil degradation, Hardening of the soil. Acidic or alkaline soil. Soil erosion. Soil compaction is when the amount of space between the soil is reduced and the soil particles are pressed together. Causes of soil compaction Moving heavy machinery over a soil surface. Workers walk frequently. Plowing in the same field for a long time Adverse effects of soil hardness. Depletion of soil space interferes with plant roots and microbial respiration. The growth of plant roots is inhibited. Inhibition of microorganism growth. The ability to digest organic matter is reduced and the release of plant nutrients to the soil is minimized. Absorption of water into the soil is minimized. Soil drainage is poor. Land preparation is difficult. Soil erosion, Soil erosion is the separation of soil, so...
