How to water and fertilize eggplant 1, watering frequency
Eggplant likes water, so it needs enough water during its growth. When cultivating eggplant, if you water it too little, it will lead to the lack of water in the plant and dry up the branches and leaves of eggplant. When there is no rain and drought, water the eggplant once to promote its healthy growth.
2. Water method
When watering eggplant, use drip irrigation or spray. Drip irrigation can be installed between fields, which is beneficial to improve the humidity of the environment. You can also directly pour water into the roots of eggplant to make it absorb quickly. It is best to provide pollution-free mineral water for eggplant.
3. Fertilization frequency
Eggplant needs adequate nutrition during its growth. When cultivating eggplant, it is necessary to apply decomposed cake fertilizer or manure as base fertilizer to promote its vigorous growth. In the peak season of eggplant growth, it is necessary to apply 1-2 times phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to accelerate plant growth.
4. Fertilization method
When cultivating eggplant, a row ditch should be dug between plants, and then the fertilizer should be buried in the row ditch to avoid direct contact between the fertilizer and the root system of eggplant to prevent it from being burned. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate or urea should also be sprayed on eggplant leaves to improve the fruit setting rate.
