What is the best growing temperature for eggplant?

Temperature requirements for eggplant cultivation

Eggplant is sensitive to temperature. Temperature and water management are crucial during the eggplant planting process. The suitable temperature for eggplant germination is 25-30℃ . If the temperature is too low, the eggplant seeds cannot germinate. Eggplant is generally sown after the seeds have been germinated. At this time, the temperature should be lowered to maintain 20-25℃ during the day and 15-20℃ at night . The temperature during the growth and flowering period of eggplant should be maintained at 20-30℃ to ensure normal pollination results.

Eggplant growth temperature

Eggplant likes high temperature and sunlight to grow. The temperature for seedling development and growth is 25-30℃. Too low temperature will cause the eggplant to grow slowly and cause it to fall off. Eggplant has high requirements for light time and intensity. Only under long-term strong sunlight can eggplant grow more vigorously and have a higher yield.

Eggplant planting time

Eggplant is an annual herb and is sensitive to growth temperature. The temperature changes less in spring and autumn, and the climate is stable, which is more suitable for germination and planting of eggplant. In spring, it can be sown in January and February, and planted in autumn from August to September. The eggplant sown in spring is harvested in April to June, and the eggplant sown in autumn is harvested in November to December. With the continuous improvement of planting technology and the promotion of greenhouses, we can now grow eggplant all year round and eat eggplant at any time.
