Usually, the crop can be harvested already after 100-110 days from the moment the crop was planted in a greenhouse or open ground. It is worth noting that when grown in greenhouse conditions, the ripening period is reduced.

Yield

On average, up to 3 kg of ripe fruits can be obtained from a bush.

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

Bagheera eggplant is planted mainly by seedlings. The scheme of transplanting seedlings to the garden bed.

  1. Leave 40 cm between the bushes in a row.

  2. A distance of 60 cm is maintained between the rows.

  3. The eggplant planting depth should not be less than 7 cm.

Usually, eggplants are planted in a greenhouse, but gardeners in the southern regions prefer to grow the vegetable outdoors.

Growing and care

The first planting work - planting seeds in containers - is carried out around the beginning of spring. Stages.

  1. Selection. The seeds are placed in a glass of water for a day. Whole samples remain at the bottom, empty ones float.

  2. Disinfection. The selected material is placed in a solution of potassium permanganate in order to increase the plant's resistance to diseases and pests.

  3. Treatment. The seed is additionally sprayed with stimulants that accelerate growth.

Conditions for sowing seeds:

  • the place for installing containers with future seedlings should be warm and lit;

  • it is better to plant seeds in peat pots;

  • after planting the seeds, the land should be watered abundantly and covered with gauze or translucent glass to create a greenhouse effect;

  • the soil should be loose and moderately moist.

Do not plant seeds in too wet soil, otherwise the plant will rot and die.

Towards the end of May or the beginning of June, they begin to transplant seedlings into open ground or a greenhouse. After disembarkation, it remains to take care of the care.

  1. Watering. Eggplant does not need a lot of water. It is enough to add moisture when the soil becomes dry.

  2. Top dressing.Usually, organic compounds or mineral complexes are used as fertilizers, which are introduced during the period of growth, flowering and fruiting.

  3. Loosening and weeding. Necessarily carried out after each watering. They help prevent the spread of diseases and pests, and also accelerate the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the roots.

In addition, gardeners advise shaping the bushes - this is a mandatory procedure for Bagheera. To do this, it is recommended to cut off affected or too long branches before flowering.

Otherwise, the plant will waste energy on the formation of new stems and existing old, too long branches. Forming allows you to give the crown of the eggplant the desired shape, as well as facilitate the collection of fruits.

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

Based on the name, it is easy to guess that Bagheera is a resistant hybrid to various unpleasant conditions in the form of temperature changes, attacks of diseases and insects. Bushes are often exposed to various rot, the detection of which requires the prompt removal of the affected stems or leaves.

Among the common pests, slugs are worth noting. To prevent their reproduction with the subsequent destruction of the eggplant, it is better to use a specialized tool.

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.
