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

Eggplants of the Siberian precocious 148 variety are very easy to grow and bear fruit successfully even in the Siberian regions of Russia. Sowing seedlings is recommended in the second half of February or in March. The earthen soil must be pH neutral. Seeds are planted to a depth of 1-2 cm, watered only with warm water. The pick is carried out in the phase of appearance of 2 leaves.

Seedlings are planted in a greenhouse or under a film from mid-May, and in open ground - in June. In the second case, you should choose the sunniest places on the site and observe the distance between the bushes 40x60 cm. You should also know that the Siberian precocious 148 variety is very picky about moisture. Plants should be watered 1-3 times a week with warm water in the morning or evening. Before the formation of flowers, it is recommended to feed the eggplants of this variety with nitroammophos or urea, when buds form, phosphorus fertilizers are applied, and at the beginning of fruiting, potassium chloride or potassium sulfate is used.

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

Despite the fact that eggplants of the Siberian precocious 148 variety have good resistance to diseases and pests, the following preventive measures should be observed:

  • spray the bushes with microbiotic agents and scatter ash on the soil from the appearance of powdery mildew;
  • prevent thickening and remove plant residues to prevent black spot;
  • disinfect seeds and monitor the concentration of nitrogen in the soil to prevent dry rot;
  • at high air humidity, thickened plants are often subjected to late blight; for prevention, eggplants are treated with a Bordeaux mixture;
  • with a lack of potassium in the soil, internal fruit necrosis occurs, therefore, it is necessary to introduce potassium monophosphate on time and make regular watering.
  • conduct a systematic inspection of plants for the presence of pests such as the Colorado potato beetle, whitefly, spider mite, slugs, thrips.

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.
