Latest Summer Eggplant Pollution-Free Cultivation Technique Method Tutorial

I believe everyone has eaten eggplant. It is an autumn vegetable, and in rural areas almost every household grows it. It is also one of our home-cooked dishes. However, growing eggplant is not very easy, because eggplant itself is very fragile, and major weather changes will have a great impact on eggplant. But as long as we master the right cultivation technique, we can not only protect the eggplant but also effectively increase growth. So how should it be cultivated to achieve high yield? Let's take a look together!

1. Seed selection and germination

Choosing pollution-free, pathogen-free seeds is the foundation of high yield. For example, purple long eggplant and similar varieties are relatively excellent choices. One week before sowing, the seeds need to be soaked. Put the seeds into warm water at about 55 degrees and soak them while stirring constantly. Then wait until the water temperature drops to 30-35 degrees, stop stirring, and soak them for eight hours. After soaking, remove them, wrap the seeds well in a wet towel, and place them at 35 degrees for germination. They must be rinsed at least once a day. After one week, if more than half of the seeds have germinated, it is ready.

2. Field planting and transplanting

After the seeds germinate, they need to be raised first before transplanting and field planting. After germination, bury the seeds in the soil, cover them with fine soil, and then set up shade facilities for the seeds. When the seedlings grow two true leaves, they need to be thinned once. When the seedling growth time reaches one month, the height is within 10-20cm, and the roots grow normally with flower buds, transplanting can begin. Choose strong-growing, well-developed, high-quality seedlings and control the planting density well. It is best to transplant in the afternoon. After transplanting, water thoroughly to provide for growth needs, then water once again the next day.

3. Topdressing and watering

Before field planting, apply enough base fertilizer to improve soil fertility. During the growth period, topdress at least three times according to the plant's growth condition. The first time, after the plants have established, topdress with decomposed farmyard manure or compound fertilizer. The second time, during the expansion period, topdress with the same fertilizer as the first time. The last time is during the fruiting period. Water thoroughly with the settling water and fruit-setting water to promote the plant's water absorption, increase growth speed, and keep the soil moist. When the fruit expands, also pay attention to supplying enough water so the fruit can fully expand and the peel has a high gloss.

4. Points to note

During the growing process, pay attention to pruning work, cut off excess useless branches, and then after the eggplant has set firmly, remove all newly grown buds. By the time eggplant grows into summer, it is the season when growth speeds up, and weeds are no exception, so proper intertillage and hilling should be combined with weeding work. Too many weeds can easily produce pathogens and insect eggs. Pay attention to the occurrence of pests and diseases, as pests and diseases can cause relatively serious harm to the growth and development of eggplant. For example, cotton blight and similar diseases can be controlled with different agents for different diseases, with the specific choice determined according to the actual situation.

The above is a simple introduction to the high-yield cultivation techniques for growing eggplant. After eggplant matures, it should be harvested in time, otherwise it will affect the growth of a new round of eggplant and affect yield. Therefore, everyone must pay attention, do a good job in orchard management, and take corresponding measures for various emergencies, so that eggplant can achieve higher yield and improve the quality of eggplant fruit.
