First, field finishing. Eggplant is not very tolerant to high temperatures and excessive moisture. After the summer planting season, the region enters a period of high temperature and heavy rainfall. Therefore, it's best to choose sandy loam soil located on higher ground. Clay loam soil has poor drainage, and in rainy years, it can lead to plant death. It’s important to dig good irrigation and drainage ditches and level the land to avoid waterlogging. Additionally, using raised beds is recommended. The bed height should be between 20-45 cm, the width 100-120 cm, and the spacing between beds 20-30 cm. Eggplant is a deep-rooted crop that requires a lot of nutrients. It's advisable to apply deep basal fertilizer. A standard application includes 5,000 kg of well-rotted organic manure, 40 kg of monoammonium phosphate, and 30 kg of potassium sulfate, all evenly spread and incorporated into the soil. If organic matter is abundant, you can increase the amount of organic fertilizer to over 10,000 kg per acre, along with 50 kg of calcium superphosphate. If the soil already contains sufficient organic matter, chemical fertilizers can be used instead. This may include 100 kg of urea granules, 50 kg of superphosphate, and 50 kg of potassium sulfate per acre. Second, planting. The transplanting period for eggplants usually occurs from early June to early July after the previous harvest. However, it’s better to transplant as early as possible to allow the plants enough time before the peak of summer. During the first 1-2 days after transplanting, it's important to monitor the seedlings during midday heat. The daytime temperature should be around 30°C, while nighttime temperatures should range from 18-20°C. In the following weeks, daytime temperatures should be maintained at 28-30°C, and night temperatures at 15-18°C. Eggplants grown in summer have a long growing season. During the early growth stage, pruning is generally not required, allowing the plants to grow freely. After harvesting, old leaves should be removed. Once the fruit begins to form, the two outer branches above the fruit should be cut to create a double-stem structure. When the four-door bucket eggplant starts to set fruit, the central shoot should be removed. Typically, 5-7 eggplants are left per plant. As the plants develop, the planting density should be around 1800-2000 plants per mu. Planting depth is also important. After planting, water thoroughly to help the seedlings establish quickly. Once the first fruits appear, regular weeding should be done to prevent weeds from competing for nutrients. In the summer rainy season, extra attention should be given to both watering and fertilizing. About 7 days after planting, a thorough watering is needed, and then water should be controlled until the next stage. When the first fruits reach 3-4 cm in size, top-dressing and irrigation should begin, preferably under plastic mulch or drip irrigation systems. Eggplants require consistent moisture. If the soil becomes dry, furrow irrigation can be used. When watering, dissolve fertilizers such as ammonium nitrate, monoammonium phosphate, and potassium sulfate in water at concentrations of approximately 0.3%, 0.15%, and 0.2%, respectively. During furrowing, fill the ditch with water and evenly distribute the fertilizers in the trench. The recommended amounts per mu are 15-30 kg of ammonium nitrate, 10 kg of monoammonium phosphate, and 10 kg of potassium sulfate. If there is no water shortage, you can dig a small hole between every four eggplants and place well-rotted manure inside. After top-dressing, ensure proper ventilation to prevent disease. Apply a second top-dressing every 15 days, using 10-15 kg of urea, 10 kg of diammonium phosphate, and 5 kg of potassium sulfate per mu. Water regularly to promote plant and fruit development, prevent premature aging, and extend the harvest period, ultimately increasing yield and economic returns. During the flowering stage, you can use a solution of 20-30 mg/kg ribarb to enhance flower stalk and calyx development. Once the fruit has grown large, remove the treated corollas to improve fruit setting rates. In summer and autumn, it's crucial to focus on weed control and pest management. Weeding can be done by spraying 48% trifluralin at a rate of 100-150 grams per mu after planting. This method effectively controls weeds and reduces labor costs while maintaining healthy crop conditions.
