Season |

Season : May-June Spring : Aug-Sept Winter : Dec-Jan |
Climate |
Low
temperature detrimental & leads to abnormal dev. of ovary (splitting) in
flower 0 bud which differentiate into deformed fruits. Severely affected
below 17 C, Long fruited varieties set fruit at higher temperature and show
tolerance to frost. |
Temperature
|
i)
Average temperature 30 C high night and day temperature 22-24 & 33-35
markedly reduce fruit set and yield ii)
Summer-high temperature leads to discolouration iii)
Cloudy weather with continuous rains-harmful |
Nursery |
:
Nursery Management - Tips to be followed & monitored : i)
Sow the seeds in Pro trays of 98 cavities by using the sterilised cocopeat as
a media, th ii)
At 7 day after sowing mild spray with Uthane M-45 @ 1g/litre of H O + Ulala 2
0.3 g/litre of H O or Saaf @ 1g/litre of H O + Ulala 0.2 g/litre of H O 2 2 2
th iii)
At 12 day after sowing spray with Saaf @ 1g/litre of H O + Ulala 0.2 g/litre
2 of H O 2 th iv) At 19 day after sowing spray with Uthane M-45 @ 1g/litre of
H O + Ulala 2 0.3 g/litre of H O or Saaf @ 1g/litre of H O + Ulala 0.2
g/litre of H O 2 2 2 v)
At 24 days after sowing spray with Saaf @ 1g/litre of H O + Ulala 0.2 g/litre
2 of H O + 19:19:19 (Soluble) @ 1g/litre H O 2 2 vi)
Hardening of seedlings is must before transplanting, Seedling will be ready
for transplanting 24-26 days after sowing. Transplanting has to be done
preferable in evening hours to avoid sun shock & mortality. |
Soil & Land
Preparation |
Deep,
fertile & well drained-good generally, silt-loam and clay loam soils are
preferred pH not more than : 5.5-6, for better growth & development &
Transplanting should be done during late afternoon or evening, after
transplanting light irrigation should be given for quick and better
establishment. |
Seed Rate |
25-30

Irrigation |
Irrigate
as & when required based on the soil type & the local practices |
Spacing |

Fertilizer
Kg/Acre |
i)
NPK - 100 :75:50 kg/Acre ii)
Basal dose - FYM 25 t/ha, NPK 50:75:50 kg/ha. th iii)
Top dressing - 50 kg N/acre on 30 day after planting or during earthing up. |

Remedies
/ Control Measures |
i)
Cyrux @ 0.3 ml/l for Brinjal fruit & shoot borer control, Lancergold 2.5

Harvesting: |

should be harvested before it ripens & when attain good size and color
(quarter grown to near ripe) |

Key
Points |
i)
N - improves % of flowers with medium & long style which only sets fruits
(4 types of flowers) ii)
80 % flower drops in cluster fruiting, while 1 % in solitary iii)
If glycoalkaloid solasodine - above 20 mg - 1 100g fresh weight - tastes
bitter |
Care |
Fulfill
the Nitrogen requirement as its deficiency leads to the kind of flowers (with
short & pseudo short style) which does not bear fruits |
