Eggplant is a vegetable harvested continuously in summer. Do you need to water it correctly if you want to produce high yield?

Eggplant is neither drought-tolerant nor waterlogging-tolerant, so it is very important to water it correctly (especially pay attention to avoid falling flowers during flowering, and then water it after fruit setting to promote fruit growth). In the early stage, the water demand of plants is not too high, so water it once every 10 day to promote root growth. If the water demand is too high in the later stage, it should be watered every 5-6 days to promote fruit growth.

Eggplant likes high temperature and requires high intensity of light time. Under the conditions of long sunshine time and high temperature, eggplant still grows vigorously and the flower bud quality is good. Therefore, as long as the reasonable supply of water and fertilizer is well grasped, the eggplant planted in summer will have high fruit yield, good quality and good coloring brightness.

Let's take a look at the irrigation methods of eggplant in summer.

Because eggplant is a direct root system, its taproot belongs to the kind that is not obvious, so watering can be managed by watering near the root system and often watering with small water to avoid flooding and flushing with water pipes.

(1) Eggplants can be directly broadcast or transplanted. Before planting, the eggplant should be watered enough, and the watering amount after 4-5 days can be determined according to the soil moisture. The purpose of this is to make eggplant seedlings absorb enough water and ensure the orderly growth of eggplant seedlings.

(2) After a week of eggplant planting, the roots and growing points will grow slowly. This is to water the leaves once to ensure the unfolding of the leaves and the nutrition needed for photosynthesis. Combined with the cultivation of soil, it is beneficial to the growth of roots. After that, water should be kept until the eggplant or four-door bucket is filled, and water and fertilizer should be applied together unless the weather is dry. If the drought is severe, a small amount of water can be poured to prevent eggplant trees from growing white and affecting fruit setting.

(3) When the eggplant begins to bear fruit, it should be watered more, that is to say, the watering times should be increased. This watering can make the eggplant big, tender and bright. At this time, if there is no water, eggplant fruit will age, absorbent cotton and poor color. The harvest period is usually watered once a week and fertilized once, and it lasts until it is no longer fruitful.

Warm reminder: remember, in case of heavy rain or rainy day, the accumulated water should be drained in time. If it is too wet, sprinkle some plant ash to absorb water. Tilling and loosening the soil during the alternation of dry and wet to prevent plant diseases and insect pests caused by high humidity and dead plants caused by rotten roots.
