Purpose and taste

The fruits of the Japanese dwarf attract gardeners with a pleasant taste, which was also appreciated by the tasters. Eggplants of this variety are used mainly for preservation, freezing, less often they are used to prepare main courses or salads.

Ripening terms

The bush forms the first fruits after 80-95 days from the moment of planting. In the case of growing crops in a greenhouse, the ripening time is reduced.

Yield

The average yield of the Japanese dwarf eggplant is 0.7 kg per square meter of the garden. However, if the necessary agrotechnical recommendations are followed, it will be possible to increase the yield.

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 Japanese dwarf can withstand temperature and wind changes. However, gardeners recommend growing the variety as seedlings. First of all, they start planting seeds. Work is usually carried out in early spring. Main steps.

  1. Selection. For selection, a glass of warm water is used, where the seeds are placed for a day. Whole and large specimens will remain at the bottom and can be planted.

  2. Disinfection. It is carried out by soaking the selected seeds in a solution of potassium permanganate of low concentration. And also the seeds can be calcined for 20-30 minutes at low temperatures.

  3. Treatment. At the end, eggplant seeds are additionally soaked in growth stimulants. Special formulations are sold at any gardening store.

Seeds are planted in pre-prepared containers, which are often peat pots. The maximum planting depth should not exceed 1-2 cm, this will be enough for the seed to take root and not die. After planting, the soil is watered abundantly and covered with gauze or glass.

Transplanting ready-made seedlings into open ground or a greenhouse is carried out by the end of May according to the scheme.

  1. A distance of 40 cm is maintained between seedlings in a row.

  2. 70 cm recede between the rows.

  3. The planting depth of seedlings should not exceed 7 cm.

When the disembarkation is complete, it remains to take care of the culture.

  1. Watering. Watering the eggplants is recommended in accordance with the moisture content of the soil. If the ground is dry, the plant can be watered abundantly. In the dry season, the culture will require an increase in the volume of the applied liquid, and in the rains it is better to reduce this volume, or even stop watering for the time being.

  2. Top dressing. Usually, organic matter or mineral complexes are used as fertilizers, which are applied to the soil about 3-4 times a month. This is enough for the plant to start active growth, bloom and form large fruits.

  3. Weeding and loosening. The procedures are carried out after watering, saturating the earth with oxygen and preventing the spread of diseases and pests.

Additionally, it is worth taking care of the shaping of the bush, which will raise the yield indicator. It is better to do this 14 days after moving the seedlings to the garden or greenhouse. In this case, compact bushes will put all their strength into the formation of fruits. When grown in a greenhouse, you should additionally take care of regular ventilation, otherwise the eggplants will die.

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

Planting eggplants is usually carried out by the end of spring or early summer. Basic recommendations for choosing a site:

  • when choosing a place, preference should be given to sunny and calm areas;

  • the acidity level must be neutral, otherwise it is worth using special formulations to lower the pH;

  • before planting seedlings, the soil should be thoroughly fertilized and loosened.

Compliance with the listed recommendations is an excellent opportunity to easily raise the yield indicator.

Disease and pest resistance

The Japanese dwarf has a fairly strong immune system. The variety does not allow the development of diseases and repels pests, but this does not mean that the bushes do not need to be processed. Gardeners recommend preventive treatment with special compounds that can be purchased at gardening stores. And you can also spray the bushes with folk remedies. If the disease has been detected, the affected elements should be removed.

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.
