Matters needing attention in fertilization of eggplant

Fertilizing eggplant is an indispensable management work. Fertilization can not only effectively supplement the nutrition needed for eggplant growth, but also prevent some kind of nutrient deficiency in the soil and affect the growth of eggplant. Eggplant has a long growth cycle, so fertilization is very important. In fact, there are a lot of things we need to pay attention to when applying fertilizer. The following editor brings you some matters needing attention when fertilizing eggplant, let's have a look!

1. Pay attention to the dosage

The nutrition demand of eggplant will change at different growth stages. for example, in the full fruit period, eggplant has a very high demand for nitrogen. Therefore, we should pay attention to applying more nitrogen fertilizer in the full fruit period, but we should follow the principle of applying a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer in the high temperature environment in summer. Because high temperature will accelerate the transformation of nitrogen fertilizer, after the plant is absorbed enough, the excess fertilizer will be gradually lost, especially when planted on sandy soil, the fertilizer use efficiency will be greatly reduced. And may also lead to overgrowth of plants, nitrogen fertilizer application should not exceed 40 jin per mu, usually once every 5 days, combined with watering.

2. Ditching and fertilization

The topdressing fertilizers of eggplant include organic fertilizer, chemical fertilizer and foliar fertilizer, but each kind of fertilizer has different fertilization methods. When applying chemical fertilizer, many of them will flush it with water like organic fertilizer. If fertilized in this way, it will affect the growth of eggplant in hot weather. Because in the high temperature environment, the ammonia element in chemical fertilizer is very easy to decompose, especially ammonium bicarbonate. The decomposed ammonia will reduce the effect of fertilizer, and can also lead to plant poisoning and, in severe cases, plant death. Therefore, we should use the method of ditch application when applying chemical fertilizer, bury the soil and water after fertilization, and fully dilute the fertilizer.

3. Reasonable formula

Although eggplant prefers nitrogen, it should not be over-applied when applying nitrogen fertilizer, and it should also be combined with appropriate amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Topdressing should not be applied only with nitrogen fertilizer in order to promote plant growth, at least with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer for more than 2 times. Only in this way can we ensure the comprehensive nutrition of eggplant, improve the yield of eggplant, enhance the quality, and extend the growth cycle of eggplant. And we should also pay attention to the application of trace elements, although micro-fertilizer is toxic, but as long as it is within a reasonable range, it will not only not harm the growth of eggplant, but also help to promote the growth of eggplant.

4. Atomization spraying

Atomization spraying is mainly aimed at the application of foliar fertilizer, the application of foliar fertilizer can promote the growth of leaves and increase the amount of chlorophyll. It is beneficial to the photosynthesis of eggplant and increase the accumulation of nutrients in the body. Atomization spraying can ensure that foliar fertilizer is sprayed comprehensively and evenly, not only to spray leaves, but also to properly spray eggplant surface. It can promote the expansion of fruit and promote the absorption of nutrients. And atomization spraying can maximize the utilization rate of fertilizer and reduce fertilizer consumption.

The above is a brief introduction to the matters needing attention when fertilizing eggplant. The failure of many friends to plant is partly due to the lack of a correct fertilization method. Fertilization is not only very important, but also a skilled work, so I hope you can master the correct fertilization methods to avoid unnecessary losses. That's all for today's introduction.
