What is the best fertilizer for eggplant?

Eggplant fertilization time

1. Eggplants need a lot of nutrients from the peak growth period to the harvest. At this time, the base fertilizer is mainly organic nutrients. Add 5 to 7 tons of organic nutrients per acre, and you can also add appropriate compound fertilizers.

2. After planting, eggplants need to be top-dressed. Combined with watering to slow down the seedlings, add thin fertilizers. When applying fertilizers to accelerate the fruiting process, the amount of nitrogen fertilizer used should be controlled at 2-3 kg. When the fruit is expanding, the amount of fertilizer added should be controlled at about 15-20 kg. After harvesting, nitrogen fertilizer should be added every 10 days according to the growth of the seedlings to extend the harvest period.

What fertilizer to use for eggplant

1. Base fertilizer : Before planting eggplant, deep plowing should be done, and at the same time, 15,000-20,000 kg of decomposed farmyard manure, 10-15 kg of urea fertilizer, and 50 kg of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium balanced compound fertilizer should be applied per mu of land.

2. Top dressing : After the eggplant seedlings are planted, top dressing is required. You can spray rooting foliar fertilizer to promote rapid expansion of the root system and improve nutrient absorption. Generally, one or two sprayings are sufficient. After flowering and fruiting is the peak period of fertilizer demand. At this time, root fertilizer or foliar spraying can be used. Using both can have obvious effects on eggplant yield.

Eggplant fertilization method

1. The roots of eggplant extend deep, and it is a vegetable that likes and needs fertilizer. Therefore, it is necessary to apply sufficient base fertilizer. If it is cultivated in a greenhouse with mulch, farmyard manure should be the main fertilizer to promote the nutrient absorption of eggplant.

2. Top dressing of eggplant during the seedling stage is very important. The seedling stage has a greater demand for phosphorus, which can promote the flowering and fruiting of eggplant. Therefore, the application of phosphorus fertilizer should be strengthened during the seedling stage.

Eggplant fertilization precautions

During the growth process of eggplant, fertilizer should be used with caution. During the swelling and fruiting periods, the absorption of phosphorus fertilizer is relatively small. If too much is given at this time, it will easily affect its yield and seriously affect the commercial value of the eggplant, which will be futile.
