2. Brinjal
Botanical name: Solanum melongena
Family :Solanaceae

3. Climate:
• It is a warm season crop and very susceptible to frost.
• Cool night and short summer are unfavorable to its satisfactory
yields.
• Its seeds germinate well at 77 F temperature.
• A daily mean temperature of 13- 21 C is most favorable for
successful production.

4. SOIL AND IT’S PREPARATION:
• It can be grown on different types of soil.
• It is grown success in fine and rich loam soil that are deep and well
drained.
• Soil pH 5.5 – 6.0 for its better growth and development.
• The soil should be well prepared by being ploughed 4-5 times before
transplanting the seedlings.
• The beds of suitable size are made in the field before transplanting.

5. Sowing time :
Kharif : May – June
Rabi: August- sep
Summer: Dec- Jan
Seed rate: 700gms – 1000gms seeds
Layout : Ridges & furrow
Spacing: 75×60 cm to 75×75 cm

6. IMPROVED VARIETIES:
Majari gota,Pusa purple round,Pusa purple long,Pusa purple cluster, Pusa
kranti,Pragati ,Aruna,ABV-1,ABH-1
• Krishna: Krishna is F1 hybrid release in 1991 by MPKV rahiri for Western
Maharashtra.
• Manjari Gota : Manjari near Pune and released by the department
ofagriculture,in 1965 for Western Maharashtra.
• Pragati: Developed by selection from a cross vaishali × Manjari Gota and released
in 1988.
• Vaishali: Developed by selection from a cross Manjari Gota ×Arka Kusumakar and
released in 1985.

7. MANURES & FERTILIZER:
• 30 to 50 Cartloads of FYM or compost is applied at the time of
field preparation
• In brinjal 60 kg N ,50 kg P should be applied per hectare.
IRRIGITION: Irrigate the field after every third or fourth day during
the summer season& after 12 to 15 days during the winterseason.
Timely irrigationis very important for high yields a brinjal

8. INTERCULTURE OPERATION:
• Intertillage or hoeing with some hand drawn implement should be done in crop
• These operations should be fairly deep and close when plants are very small but they should be made
shallow as plant develop.
• It is a root parasite and should be control carefully according to the measure suggested by the experts
• These chemicals are either use for seed treatment or sprayed over the plants Para –
chlorophenoxyacetic acid 2,4 dichlorophenoxy – acetic acid ,napthaleneacetic acid have been found
effective for this.
• The seed can be soaked for 24 hours in solution of 2,4 – D at 4 to 5 ppm before sowing or spraying the
whole plant with 2,4 –D solution at 2 ppm .
• When the first few flower clusters appear
• These treatment give about 50 percent earlier and higher fruit set.

9. HARVESTING
• Fruits are harvested when they are immature.
• They should be severed from the plant by cutting with small shears or a
knife
• Fruits areallowed to attain a good size and colour till they do not loose
their bright glossy appearance and become dull
• YIELD: 250 to 300 quintals/ ha
• INSECT PEST OF BRINJAL:
• 1]Brinjal fruit &shoot borer 2] Brinjal stem borer 3] leaf eating beetle
4]Nematod

10. DISEASE OF BRINJAL :
1] Damping off: It is a serious disease of brinjal seedlings and mainly
occurs in nursary bed .
• The disease infected seedlings rot at ground level and then the
plants fall over ground .
• The seedlings die in patches .

11. 2]Phomopsis Blight and fruit rot: It is a serious disease of brinjal.
• The fungas attack all parts of the plants above ground .
• Dark brown lessions appear on the stem and round to oval spots
are formed on the leaves .
• Disease fruits show short and watery lessions which litte on
become black and mumified.

12. 3] little leaf of brinjal : The affected plant produce numerous tinn
yellow leaves and does not bear fruits .
• The disease is transmitted by leaf hopper.
