Suitable climate

The brinjal is a warm season produce, therefore vulnerable to severe frost. Low warmth during the cool term causes buckle of fruits. A long and warm mounting season is desirable for successful brinjal production. Cool nights and short summers are unsuited to acceptable yield.  A daily mean temperature of 13 to 21C is most favorable for optimum growth and yield. The brinjal seed germinate well at 25C The brinjal can be grown in all types of soil varying from light sandy to heavy clay. Light soils are good for an early yield, while clay-loam and silt-loam are well suited for higher yield. Loam and sandy soil of typical and higher status are best suited for brinjal cultivation. The soil should fertile and well drained. Brinjal is very hardy crop and can be grown even in adverse conditions like in soil having high pH Brinjal has great adaptability since the crop remain in the field for a number of months. The soil should be thoroughly prepared by sloughing 4 to 5 times before transplanting the seedlings. Bulky organic manures like well rotten crowding or compost should be incorporated evenly on the soil Brinjal is a heavy feeder crop. Therefore a balance application of manure and    fertilizers is very important for important for successful crop production. Further the brinjal being a long duration crop require a good amount of compost and fertilizers. Well putrid farmyard manure or compost (200-250 q/ha) should be incorporated at the time of field training. The crop should be supplemented with 100-120 kg nitrogen and 50-60 kg each of phosphorus and potash hybrid requires more amount of fertilizers. Full dose of phosphorus and potash and half of N is applied at the of final field preparation before transplanting and the remaining quantity of N as urea is functional in two to three splits after 30, 45 and 60 days of transplanting in the farm of top dressing.
