Soil & Sowing<\/h2>\n\n<\/p>\n![\"brinjal\"](\"https:\/\/cropinfo.in\/agriinfo\/infobase\/uploads\/2016\/02\/brinjal.png\")
Soil:\u00a0<\/b>Brinjal is a hardy crop and is cultivated under a wide range of soils. Since a long duration crop with high yield, well-drained and fertile soil is preferred for the crop. Crops grown in sandy soils yield early and those grown in clayey soils yield more. Ideal pH for cultivation of crop is 5.5-6.6.<\/p>\n
Climate:\u00a0<\/b>Brinjal is warm season day neutral plant and is susceptible to severe frost. A long and warm growing season with a temperature range of 21-27 Degree C is ideal for its production. Crop is adversely affected by chilling temperature of winter in North India. Generally late cultivars can withstand low temperature than early ones. Plants grown luxuriantly and yield heavily during rainy season under warm conditions.<\/p>\n
Planting Season<\/b>:<\/p>\n\n- Throughout the year (Avoid during winter)<\/li>\n
- Autumn-winter crop:<\/strong>\u00a0Crop is sown in June and transplanted in July<\/li>\n
- Spring -summer crop:<\/strong>\u00a0Crop is sown in early November and transplanted in January-February. Due to low temperature, seedlings take 6 to 8 weeks for attaining normal size for transplanting and nursery beds are to be protected from frost.<\/li>\n
- Rainy season crop:<\/strong>\u00a0Seeds are sown in March-April and transplanted during April-May. Being a low priced vegetable, rainy season crop is the most economical in many parts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Pest Control<\/h2>\n\n<\/p>\n\n- Shoot & fruit borer<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Remove the affected terminal shoot showing boreholes periodically.<\/li>\n
- Remove the affected fruits and destroy.<\/li>\n
- Avoid using synthetic pyrethroids.<\/li>\n
- Application of 200 kg neem cake\/acre<\/li>\n
- Mass trap using pheromone traps at 6-8\/acre<\/li>\n
- Spray Neem Seed Kernel Extract 5 % or any one of the following chemicals starting from one month after planting at 15 days interval<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Chemical\u00a0 Control:<\/b><\/p>\n\n- Azadirachtin 10000 PPM at 3 ml\/ltr or<\/li>\n
- Chloropyriphos<\/a> 1 ml\/ltr or<\/li>\n
- Emamectin benzoate<\/a> 0.25 ml\/ltr or<\/li>\n
- Flubendiamide<\/a> 0.5 g\/ltr or at 8-10 days interval<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Epilachna beetle:\u00a0<\/b>Collect the beetles, grubs, pupae and destroy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Chemical\u00a0 Control:<\/b><\/p>\n\n- Azadirachtin 0.03 % WSP (300 ppm)\u00c2\u00a0 5.0 g\/lit or<\/li>\n
- Quinalphos 1.7 ml\/lit or<\/li>\n
- Triazophos 40 % EC 2.5 ml\/lit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- White fly:\u00a0<\/b>Monitor the whitefly with yellow sticky trap @ 12\/ha.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Chemical control: <\/b><\/p>\n\n- Neem oil 3% plus Teepol 1 ml\/lit or<\/li>\n
- spray Neem Seed Kernel Extract 5 % or<\/li>\n
- spray Diafenthiuron 50 % WP 8.0 g\/10 lit or<\/li>\n
- Phosphamidon 40 % SL 1.5 ml\/lit or<\/li>\n
- Thiamethoxam 25 % WG 4.0 g\/10 lit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Aphids<\/a><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Release 1st instar larvae of Green lace wing predator (Chrysoperla carnea) @ 4,000\/ acre.<\/li>\n
- Apply phorate 10 % G @ 15 kg \/ha or spray Phosphamidon 40 % SL 1.5 ml\/lit or Thiometon 25 % EC 1.0 ml\/lit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Red Spider mite<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Apply phorate 10 % G @15 kg \/ha or spray Dicofol 18.5 % SC 2.0 ml\/lit or Spiromesifen<\/a> 22.9 % SC 8.0 ml\/10 lit.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>
Disease Control<\/h2>\n\n<\/p>\n\n- Damping off<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Treat the seeds with Trichoderma viride 4 g\/kg or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 10g \/kg of seed 24 hours before sowing.<\/li>\n
- Apply Pseudomonas fluorescens as soil application @ 2.5 kg\/acre mixed with 50 kg of FYM.<\/li>\n
- Stagnation of water should be avoided.<\/li>\n
- Drench with Copper Oxychloride<\/a> at 2.5 g\/lit at 4lit \/sq.m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Little Leaf:\u00a0<\/b>Remove the affected plants in the early stages and spray dimethoate 30 EC @ 1.0 ml\/lit. to control the vector<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n<\/div>
Weed Control<\/h2>\n\n
\nWeed Control<\/b> :<\/p>\nIt is essential to keep the field free of weeds especially at initial stages of crop growth and is usually done by 2-3 light hoeing or earthing up. This facilitates better aeration to root system and gives support to plants.<\/p>\n
Application of<\/p>\n
\n- Fluchloralin<\/a> @ 0.6 kg a.i.\/acre or<\/li>\n
- Pendimethalin<\/a> 0.4 kg a.i.\/acre\u00a0as a pre-emergent weedicide, applied one week after transplanting seedlings, followed by one hand weeding at 30 days after planting controls a broad spectrum of weeds.<\/li>\n
- Mulch with black LDPE sheets of 25 micron thickness and bury both the ends into the soil to a depth of 10 cm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
