      In vain do you think so, aubergines grow well in the middle band. What you did not do is difficult to determine, so I'll tell you about the mistakes most often made when growing these wonderful vegetables.
      1. After planting seedlings, a weak and rare watering restricts the growth of roots, plants do not take root well.
      2. During fruiting, excessive watering without subsequent loosening of the soil
      leads to rotting of the roots. A rare watering and small doses can lead to the smallening and distortion of the fruit.
      3. Fertilizing was not carried out or the recipe was broken, namely: at the beginning of growth, the introduction of nitrogen-containing fertilizers for the development of the stem and leaves; during flowering and fruiting - potash and phosphorus.
      4. The soil is acidic, there is little potassium in it, because of what develops the vertex rot of fruits.
      5. When the beds are ventilated, opening the film from both sides leads to an undesirable draft, dropping of flowers and leaves due to the fragility of the plants.
      6. Sharp cooling, temperature changes, especially in the film greenhouse, lead to the development of gray rot.
      7. The unventilated greenhouse after irrigation increases the humidity of the air, because of which the flowers are poorly pollinated and crumbled, the eggplant appears gray rot.
      8. Rare collection of fruits. Cut them should be light-lilac, without waiting for full maturation.
      9. Incorrect formation of plants: pinching of all stems, removal of side shoots, early prischipka top growth, which leads to deprivation of most of the crop.

    Among the vegetables I have in a prominent place - eggplant. And although they are mainly cultivated in the southern regions, with the advent of new varieties and climate warming, it became possible to grow this crop here.
    Growing conditions
    This is a heat-demanding and hygrophilous plant. Seeds germinate at a temperature of at least 15 degrees. And the best conditions for the growth and development of plants are created when there is a stable heat of at least 22, but not more than 30 degrees.
    Watering aubergines is necessary abundantly. The lack of soil moisture reduces the yield, adds bitterness to the fruits, makes them ugly. But do not over-moisten the soil, it can provoke fungal diseases.
    Seizure care
    I grow eggplant through seedlings. I sow seeds from March 1 to March 15 - 55-60 days before planting seedlings in a greenhouse. You can grow this crop in a greenhouse. The temperature regime during the germination period is -25-30 degrees heat. With the advent of seedlings, I lower the temperature during the first 6 days to 14-16 degrees.
    By the time of landing on a permanent place, the seedlings must have 5-6 real leaves and a thick stem. On the eve of planting, I water abundantly. Planted to a depth of 7-8 cm, so that the root neck was at 1,5 cm below ground level. It is best to do this in cloudy weather, the soil before planting should be well moistened. Putting the seedlings in the holes, the ground around the roots squeeze and immediately watered.
    Watering and feeding
    Over the summer, I abundantly moisten eggplants 9-10 times, every 7-9 days. It is also important to do two dressings. The first - 15-20 days after planting with urea (100-150 g per bucket). The second - three weeks after the first
    Council
    The soil must be well supplied with nutrient substances. Phosphorus fertilizers favorably influence the growth of roots, the formation of buds, ovaries, accelerate the ripening of fruits. Potassium contributes to the accumulation of carbohydrates. With its lack, growth stops, on the edges of the leaves, and then on the fruits appear brown spots.
    superphosphate (150 g) and urea (100 g). I pour fertilizers into the soil, close it up and immediately spend a drink.
    These fertilizers can be replaced by infusion of Mullein (1: 10).
    Against pests and diseases
    Eggplant plants can be attacked by a Colorado beetle. It is best to collect the larvae and adult insects every day by hand and immediately destroy them.
    With the disease of withering, I fight, watering plants in the not-too-hot time of day. After each moistening I loosen the soil, cover its surface around the bush with straw, in order to avoid overheating of the upper layer of the soil.
