🍆Spring eggplants are usually sown from the end of December to the end of February. Varieties that are disease resistant, cold and rain resistant, uniform, and aesthetically pleasing should be selected. The soil should be exposed to sunlight and disinfected in advance. After sowing, a thin layer of soil should be covered on top, and then watered thoroughly and covered with plastic film. During the autumn eggplant seedling stage, 2-3 thinning should be carried out, and overly dense and weak seedlings should be removed. If there is more precipitation during the seedling cultivation period, watering should be controlled.

Planting time of spring eggplant

Spring eggplants are usually sown from the end of December to the end of February. Eggplants can also be sown in early autumn, usually from early July to the end of August. The suitable growth temperature is between 20 ℃ and 30℃, so they are suitable for planting in spring and autumn.

Planting methods for spring eggplant

1. Choose a good variety

To choose suitable varieties based on the climate conditions of the planting area, it is best to choose varieties that are resistant to disease, cold and rain, uniform, and aesthetically pleasing in appearance.

2. Site selection and land preparation

Spring eggplants should be selected in loose, fertile, and well drained plots, preferably in paddy fields. They should be thoroughly plowed in advance and exposed to sunlight for disinfection. A high bed of more than 30 centimeters should be formed, and the seedbed should be sprayed with pentachloronitrobenzene 7-10 days before sowing, and then covered with a film for disinfection.

3. Planting

After selecting a good variety, it can be evenly sown into loose soil. Generally, 15-20 grams of seeds are used per acre. After sowing, a thin layer of soil is covered on top of it, and then it is watered and covered with plastic film. The seedlings can quickly emerge.

Notes on Planting Spring Eggplant

Spring eggplant seedlings need to be intercropped 2-3 times during the seedling stage. If the seedlings are too dense or too weak, and there is more precipitation during the seedling period, it is easy to develop diseases such as sudden death and withering. Control watering, immediately remove the diseased seedlings after the disease occurs, and sprinkle an appropriate amount of plant ash to reduce the spread of pathogens.
