Pocket eggplant growth requirements Pocket eggplant planting precautions

Today I will introduce to you the requirements for the growth of pocket eggplants:

① Temperature

Eggplant likes high temperature and is a vegetable that is particularly resistant to high temperature. The most suitable growth temperature is 22-30℃, and the growth stops at 20℃. When the temperature is higher than 35℃, the development of eggplant flower organs is prone to obstacles, especially when the night temperature is high, the long style decreases, the medium and short style increases, and the phenomenon of flower drop is serious.

② Light

Eggplant is a short-day crop, and the requirements for sunshine time are not strict. However, the requirements for sunshine intensity are relatively high. Generally, longer sunshine time and stronger light intensity are required. The light saturation point is 40,000 lux, and the light compensation point is 2,000 lux. If the light intensity is insufficient, the purple eggplant will not be well colored, the long style will be reduced, and the flowers will fall off seriously.

③ Water content

Eggplant has large leaves, luxuriant branches and leaves, and vigorous transpiration, so it needs sufficient water. The relative water content of the soil should be 70% to 80%. It requires less water in the early growth stage, more water in the flowering stage, and the water demand reaches its peak before and after the eggplant is harvested. When there is a lack of water, the plant grows less and the flower drops seriously. Eggplant is afraid of waterlogging. Too much water will cause the plant to grow too tall and become diseased.

The suitable relative humidity of air during the eggplant growing period is 70% to 80%.

④Soil and nutrition

Eggplant is suitable for neutral to slightly alkaline soil and can tolerate higher soil solvent concentration. It is suitable to be cultivated in soil rich in organic matter and with strong fertilizer retention capacity.

Eggplant has a long growing period and requires sufficient fertilizer. Nitrogen fertilizer is the main fertilizer during the growing period, but phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be used in combination.

From the above, we can see that eggplant is a vegetable that likes warmth but is not cold-resistant, likes water but is not moisture-resistant, likes light, and likes fertilizer and is resistant to fertilizer.

Nutritional value and uses

Eggplant is mainly edible as tender fruit, which can be fried, boiled, or fried. It can also be processed, dried, salted, or made into sauce. Eggplant tender fruit is rich in nutrition. According to the determination, every 100 grams of fruit contains 2.3 grams of protein, 0.1 grams of fat, 3.1 grams of carbohydrates, 22 milligrams of calcium, 31 milligrams of phosphorus, 0.4 milligrams of iron, 0.04 milligrams of carotene, 0.03 milligrams of thiamine, 0.04 milligrams of riboflavin, 0.5 milligrams of niacin, and 3 milligrams of ascorbic acid. Eggplant is not only rich in vitamins, but also contains a small amount of special bitter substance-solanine M. Therefore, it has a certain medical effect. Regular consumption can reduce cholesterol, prevent arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, enhance liver physiological functions, and prevent various liver diseases. It is a good health vegetable. Pocket eggplant is more popular with people because of its small appearance.
