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.

Growing and care

The black giant is an easy-to-care variety that even novice gardeners can grow from seeds on their own. Sowing is recommended in late February - early March.

The earthen mixture should consist of equal parts of peat and humus, half of the total volume is covered with sawdust, and the soil is mixed. In the phase of one true leaf, the seedlings dive. Young plants of the Black Giant variety should be planted after 60-70 days.

In open ground, in a greenhouse or in a greenhouse, seedlings are planted in late May - early June. The site should warm up well and be illuminated by the sun's rays. It is recommended to adhere to the 60x40 cm planting pattern.

The Black Giant variety requires abundant and regular watering, systematic weeding and loosening. At the end of August, 5-6 of the largest ovaries are left on the plants, the rest should be removed.

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.

Soil requirements

Eggplants of this variety require slightly acidic loose warmed up soil. If the land on the site is sandy-clayey, you can add a bucket of sawdust, a bucket of manure and two buckets of peat to loosen it. Peat soil requires the addition of turf and humus.

If the soil is infertile, fertilizing is required every two weeks. The first feeding is done with a complex mineral fertilizer (20 g per bucket of water). Pour 500 g of such a mixture under each bush. It is recommended to apply organic fertilizers the second time. As a top dressing, 1 kg of mullein is most often taken, bred in a bucket of water and insisted for 7 days.

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.
