How to raise eggplant seedlings

Eggplant can be said to be a kind of vegetable that many people like very much. Although the price of eggplant is not high, it is indeed very popular. The scale of eggplant planting has been expanding in recent years, and for growers, the most basic step is eggplant seedlings. The quality of eggplant seedlings has a great influence on the yield of eggplant, so today let's take a look at the methods of raising eggplant seedlings.

1. Seedbed finishing

Before sowing, we should choose a good breeding site and then sort it out. Generally speaking, the plots that can grow chili and vegetables can grow eggplant, but pay attention to crop rotation. After selecting the nursery land, the seedbed arrangement should be carried out. It is best to choose the land with loose soil, good water and fertilizer conservation, pollution-free soil and fertile soil, then add fertile pastoral soil to the soil, sprinkle with mature farm manure, stir and mix fully with the soil, and finally flatten it to make a seedbed.

2. Seed treatment

First of all, we should select varieties with good quality, high yield, high quality and good resistance, and then screen the seeds to select full seeds without diseases and insect pests. Then soak the selected seeds in warm water of 25 to 30 degrees, so that the seeds can fully absorb water. Generally, the seeds are removed in 12 hours, soaked in gauze, wrapped in gauze, cleaned in water twice, and then germinated in an environment with a temperature of about 28 degrees.

3. Sowing and raising seedlings

When about 80% of the seeds are white, they can be sown. Before sowing, pour the seedling bed thoroughly with water, and then spread the eggplant seeds evenly on the seedbed, covering a thin layer of soil. In order to promote eggplant emergence, we need heat preservation and moisturizing treatment, that is, a layer of plastic film or a layer of straw on the seedbed. When most of the eggplant seedlings emerge from the seedbed, uncover the mulch on the seedbed.

4. Seedling stage management

Before eggplant seedlings are unearthed, we should control the temperature of the seedling bed at about 20 to 25 degrees and the humidity of the seedling bed at 25%. If the temperature and humidity of the seedling bed are too high or too low, they all need to be regulated reasonably. When the eggplant is divided into seedlings, we should reasonably control the plant density, generally about 10 cm apart, and manage the temperature, humidity, light and nutrients between the seedling beds to promote the sturdy growth of eggplant seedlings. it is helpful to improve the quality of eggplant seedlings, so as to improve the economic benefits of planting.

Eggplant seedlings are actually similar to most vegetables, except that different vegetables have different needs for light, fertilizer, water and so on, so this is also the difference between different vegetables. The above is the eggplant breeding technology that the editor brings to you today. I hope it can help you.
