The eggplant is vegetable, very exacting to quality of the soil and lighting. Before starting planting of seedling of eggplants to the open ground, it is necessary to choose well lit place and to hold number of events for preparation of the soil.
Preparation of the soil
At cultivation of eggplants it is necessary to pay special attention to structure and nutritiousness of the soil. To achieve good growth, sustainable development and high productivity it is possible only in case seedling of eggplants has been planted on light fertile soils.
Preparation of beds is made for their cultivation taking into account the following requirements. It is necessary to bring various additives in loamy or clay soil (about a half of bucket of the wood semi-rerotting sawdust, manure bucket, bucket of sand and two buckets of peat on each square meter of the area).
It is necessary to add to the peat soil on one bucket of the cespitose soil, humus and sand on each meter of the area. It is necessary to bring mix from three buckets of clay soil, two buckets of humus and peat and one bucket of sawdust in the sandy soil. Besides, it is necessary to bring on each meter of the area superphosphate tablespoon, potassium sulfate tablespoon, wood ashes in number of two glasses and urea teaspoon. Addition of fresh manure when planting seedling of eggplants is extremely undesirable. After additives are brought, carefully dig over the soil to level surface of beds, and slightly condense. Before disembarkation, holes about 13-15 cm in depth become.
Planting of seedling
Planting of eggplants is carried out on bed in two ranks, the distance between ranks at the same time makes about 50-60 cm, the distance between seedling in ranks has to make about 40-45 cm. Just before disembarkation it is necessary to pour out in holes one and a half liters of the warmed-up mullein solution (half of liter of the concentrated mullein on ten liters of water). At extraction of seedling of eggplants from glasses it is necessary to try to avoid destruction of earth lump and damage of gentle root system. Seedling of eggplants has to be oriented by roots to the South to provide their good warming up in day in the sun. Then landings of eggplants should be watered with large amount of warm water and to powder with sand or to strew lightly slightly with the dry earth. To achieve the best rooting, planting of plants is usually carried out in the evening, and cover them with caps from paper for protection against cold wind and against direct sunshine in the morning. For ensuring necessary and uniform humidity the soil between ranks of landings can be covered with special black film.
