How many times can eggplant be planted in a year and how long is the planting cycle?

How many seasons of eggplant are planted in a year

Eggplant is mostly planted in spring and autumn, only once a year . In the greenhouse, the indoor temperature can be controlled as the outside temperature changes. Eggplant can also be planted off-season. In the Northeast, eggplant can usually only be planted once a year outdoors, but now with greenhouses, it can be planted all year round.

Eggplant Planting Conditions

Eggplant is suitable for growing in fertile, loose, thick, water-retaining and fertilizer-retaining soil, and its growth requires more nitrogen fertilizer. If nitrogen is lacking, its flower bud differentiation will be hindered and the number of flowers will be insufficient, especially during the flowering period of eggplant.

If there is too little nitrogen, the growth rate of eggplant will slow down, resulting in serious yield shortage. Therefore, when we choose the soil, if the content is too low, we must supplement nitrogen in time.

Eggplant Harvest Time

It only takes about a month from planting to harvesting eggplants. Generally speaking, if it is planted in early spring, it is sown in December, planted in February of the following year, and can be harvested in April. If it is sown in May and planted in June, it can be harvested in August-September. Moreover, eggplants are generally raised in greenhouses, so they can be seen in the market all year round, and there is no specific time to go on the market.
