Characteristics of the appearance of plants and fruits

Variety Alekseevsky is an early-maturing medium-sized crop, with a central stem height of no more than 70 cm. The semi-spreading plant has a slight omission and a complete absence of coloring glycosides. The rich green leaf plates have a grooved structure. A distinctive feature is the almost complete absence of thorny points on the fruiting calyx.

The cone-shaped fruits are colored deep purple with a glossy sheen. The size of a ripe vegetable ranges from 15 to 18 cm, and its diameter can be from 4 cm to 6 cm. Depending on the degree of maturity, the weight of an eggplant can range from 100 to 190 grams. Harvesting must be carried out at the stage of mass gain within 200 grams. Overripe vegetables significantly lose not only their color saturation, but also taste and aesthetic indicators. The color of the pulp is muted white.

Purpose and taste

The Alekseevsky variety has been one of the most demanded crops for many years. The harvested crop has a universal purpose, excellent taste and absolute absence of bitter notes. These properties make it possible to use eggplants both for preparing hot salads and stews, and for preservation in various variations. Despite the heat treatment and long storage period, vegetables retain their structure, taste and vitamin composition.

Ripening terms

Alekseevsky eggplant is an early variety, in which the technical ripeness of the fruit, depending on the region of growth, occurs within 95-100 days after the appearance of the first shoots. Harvesting after planting strong and healthy seedlings in open beds can be done after 50 days.

Yield

Despite the climatic conditions and the method of cultivation, the Alekseevsky variety always shows a high yield. From a plot of 1 m2, you can collect from 6 kg to 8 kg of juicy fruits.

To get a tasty and bountiful eggplant crop, you must first grow strong and healthy seedlings. This culture is considered very capricious, therefore, you need to take care of seedlings when growing at home as correctly and carefully as possible.

Landing scheme

To obtain healthy plants and a high-quality harvest, vegetable breeders, when transplanting seedlings to a permanent place of growth, recommend observing the distance between branchy bushes. The standard planting pattern is 70 by 30 cm.

Growing and care

Despite the unpretentiousness of the early culture, experienced gardeners recommend following the basic agrotechnical rules when growing it. In most cases, the culture is grown in seedlings. Sowing prepared seed material for seedlings must be carried out in the last days of February. It is better to plant strong and healthy shoots on protected beds in the second decade of May, and for open areas, planting should be postponed until early June.

To obtain high-quality seedlings, farmers recommend using a mixture of turf, peat, humus, wood ash, sawdust and nitrogenous compounds as a soil. It is strictly forbidden to deepen the seeds more than 15 mm. The picking of young plants is carried out in the growth phase of 3-4 true leaves.

At the age of 50-60 days, the formed bushes can be transplanted. The area for growing crops should be fertile, well lit and protected from cold air currents. The planting hole must be shed abundantly before the plant is buried, and the root system should be placed on a small hill. The entire root zone should be immediately mulched.

Caring for an unpretentious culture consists of a classic set of activities:

  • timely watering once every 10 days;
  • loosening the soil as needed;
  • weed removal;
  • introduction of nutrient compounds;
  • protection against pests.

Planting eggplant is one of the most important stages in growing. When choosing a place for eggplants on your site, it is important to remember that this culture should be in warm soil, constantly illuminated by the sun. The plant is also very fond of spacious, open spaces, since its roots can grow over sufficient areas.

You need to start forming bushes about 12-20 days after planting the seedlings in a permanent place. The more specific time for this procedure depends on the characteristics of the variety. A month before harvesting, all weak shoots and unnecessary foliage must be completely removed from the bush. In this case, the plant will direct all its forces to the formation of large and tasty fruits.
Balazhany is a capricious culture that needs regular and abundant watering. Otherwise, eggplants accumulate bitter glycosides and become unsuitable for food. In order to correctly draw up an irrigation schedule, many different factors must be taken into account.
Eggplant is a demanding crop that needs regular feeding for full growth and fruiting. When growing eggplants, even fertile soils need nutrition. After planting seedlings in the ground, the culture is fertilized 3-4 times. On infertile soils, the frequency of fertilizing increases.

Disease and pest resistance

The unpretentious variety has a high immune response to the most common diseases.However, green spaces are often affected by the Colorado potato beetle. It is possible to prevent the death of plants from the pest both by carrying out regular treatments of the bushes, and by covering the beds with agrofibre.

Eggplant is one of the most demanding crops. For its successful cultivation, it is necessary to create optimal conditions, as well as to carry out prevention and fight against diseases and pests. Eggplant often infects both fungal and viral diseases. If treatment is not started on time, you can completely lose the crop.
