Matters needing attention in eggplant planting

Many of us like to eat eggplant very much, especially the oiled eggplant and the grilled eggplant in the barbecue, which tastes very charming. Although the market economy value of eggplant is not high, there is a great demand for eggplant. Moreover, every household in the countryside grows eggplant, and some people can even eat eggplant for several days. It can be said to be very fond of it. Then the following will be introduced to you by the pro-agricultural network to introduce some matters that need to be paid attention to in the process of eggplant planting.

1. Sowing time

The planting time of eggplant has a great influence on the yield and quality of eggplant. Autumn sowing is generally carried out in Hunan, that is, every year in July and August, but there are many places where two seasons can be sown alternately, that is, spring sowing and autumn sowing. For example, in North China, when is the spring sowing time? generally, from December to February of the next year, we can sow seeds. The culture of these two periods is generally about 15 degrees, so it is very suitable for the growth of eggplant, and the temperature of flowering and fruiting period is just 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. At this time, the eggplant produced is the most delicious and has a lot of results.

2. Sowing method

When sowing, we have to disinfect and scald the seeds first, so that the germination rate of the seeds will be much higher. Generally, the seeds will be soaked in hot water of about 50 degrees for about 20 minutes, and they will be stirred as much as possible when soaking. In this way, the seeds will be heated more evenly. Wait until the water temperature drops to 30 degrees, soak the seeds for 24 hours, then remove and mix the seeds with potions, rinse them with clean water for an hour, accelerate germination at high temperature, and wait for 80% of the seeds to sprout.

3. Fertilization method

Eggplant cultivation has relatively strict requirements for fertilization, so try to apply more fertilizer when spreading base fertilizer, generally using farm manure and livestock manure, or human feces. Finally, when planting, evenly sprinkle an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer and compound fertilizer into each hole. During the growing period of eggplant, we need to apply fertilizer in batches, not too much at a time. Generally speaking, urea is applied once 20 days after planting to promote the growth of seedlings, and the second fertilizer is applied when eggplant blossoms. At this time, it is mainly phosphate fertilizer, and the third fertilization is mainly potash fertilizer after the fruit is located successfully. Eggplant will absorb more nutrients, so try to use organic fertilizer, careful use of chemical fertilizer, this will affect the quality of eggplant, thus affecting people's health.

4. Planting density

Scientific planting density is beneficial to increase the yield of eggplant, so we generally increase the density moderately. The most reasonable density for eggplant planting is 50 cm per plant and 60 cm per row. In this way, when eggplant grows up and blossoms and bears fruit, the ventilation and lighting effect in the field are still very good, so the survival rate of eggplant fruit will be much higher.

5. Disease control

Eggplant mainly has the occurrence of cotton blight, brown stripe and verticillium wilt. For cotton blight, we generally use Purek water agent to control the disease, while brown stripe generally uses nail cream copper wettable powder for three or four times to control eggplant. Finally, Verticillium wilt we need to use carbendazim or carbendazim mixed with water on each plant. Of course, eggplant in the growth process, there are many pests, such as aphids, slugs and vegetable insects, these are relatively easy to deal with, the use of trichlorfon is good, spray will be effective.
