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

Gardeners recommend planting the crop so that there are no more than 3-4 bushes per square meter of the garden.

Growing and care

It is no secret that the stages of growing eggplant, regardless of the variety, are almost identical. The highlights are as follows.

  1. Preparation of planting material. The seeds are soaked in water to take whole and large samples that will not float to the surface. Also, eggplant seeds can be calcined at high temperatures for several minutes.
  2. Disembarkation. The seeds are pre-dried and then placed in prepared peat pots, deepening by less than 2 cm. If there are no peat pots, you can use another container, but you will have to look for the composition of fertile soil yourself.
  3. Transfer. It is started when the Farama bushes rise by at least 10-12 cm. It is carried out by hardening the variety for a week.

Before planting, you should prepare the site by adding fertilizer and loosening the soil. This will improve the survival rate of the variety, as well as prevent the development of various diseases and pests. When planting work is completed, it remains to take care of the care of the crop.

  • It is not recommended to water the eggplant too often. It is necessary to monitor the need for water application according to the soil moisture level or climatic conditions.
  • Loosening. A mandatory procedure to prevent the risk of plant disease. It is carried out mainly after each watering.
  • Top dressing. On average, from 3 to 4 fertilizers are applied to the soil per season, using organic and complex compositions.

It is important to read the instructions before using fertilizers and determine the applicability of the product. Top dressing should be applied immediately under the root, otherwise there is a high probability of burning the leaves of the plant.

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.

  • preference should be given to sunny and windproof areas;
  • groundwater must flow low, otherwise the probability of plant death is quite high;
  • the soil must be fertile.
