Growing and caring

The vegetable is planted in seedlings. For planting, strong bushes are selected at the age of 60-65 days with 5-8 true leaves and a formed root system. Planting is carried out from mid-May to early June.

The agricultural technology of vegetable crops is standard - regular irrigation with settled water (every 5-7 days), fertilizing 3-4 times per season, alternating organic matter and mineral complexes, weeding and loosening the soil, mulching row spacings with hay, straw or sawdust, forming a bush in 1- 3 stems, obligatory garter to the trellis, pinching at the moment when the central trunk has grown to 30-35 cm, prevention of viruses and pest infestations.

Planting eggplant is one of the most important stages in growing. When choosing a place for eggplants in your area, 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.
