Brinjal Long 1. Best Sowing Time:

Brinjal Long Mansoon & Summer .

Brinjal Long Soil Temprature:

Optimal soil temperature: 10-40°C. Seeds should germinate in 8-14 days.

 Steps for Seed Sowing Method:

• • Take a seedling tray with medium sized cells & drainage holes at the bottom..
  • Fill the cells/cups with a moist coco-peat medium.
  • Hold the Brinjal seeds in your left palm & sow 2-3 seeds per cell/cup. Since Brinjal seeds are small, avoid sowing them very deep..

Brinjal Long Sowing Technique:

• • Place the seeds on the surface of the medium & push each seed a little inside the medium by using pencil tip, so that seeds are not visible on the surface anymore & cover it with more coco-peat.
  • Or make small, shallow depressions on medium with pencil bottom. Put the seed in that depression & sprinkle more coco-peat on the top to cover the seed.
  • Keep the seedling tray indoors till the seeds germinate.
  • Covering: Keep the seed tray in a box or cover it with paper for first 4-5 days to encourage faster seed germination.

Brinjal Long Watering:

• Water the seed cells with a spoon in the first week. Provide two tablespoons of water every day.
• Or keep the seedling tray in another tray full of water for half an hour, so that seed cells will absorb the water from the bottom, via drainage holes.
• If the seed beds are made outdoors, protect them from heavy rain or direct sunlight. Use well sieved fine soil as a sowing medium & make a nice raised bed from it. Cover the bed by making a temporary roof of the plastic sheet. Water it in the form of a light shower by watering can.

Brinjal Long 

• Sprouting Stage: Seeds will germinate within first 6-8 days or so & tiny sprouts will be visible. Once seeds germinate, put the tray in an open partially sunny spot near the window. Don’t cover the tray anymore. .
• Cotyledons: The early two leaves will emerge from the second week of germination. These are false leaves called as cotyledons.
• First leaves: First leaves will emerge above cotyledons at the end of the second week. These are Brinjal’s original compound leaves.
• Seedling stage: Second week onwards, seedlings will start growing into a small plant. At this stage, exposé the seedlings to more & more sunlight for leaf growth. .
• Thinning: After the second week, keep only single seedling per cell/cup. Cut off the weak, small & lagging seedlings with a pair of scissors.
• Spacing: Plant the seedlings minimum 2 feet apart (60×60 or 60×45 cm) from each other on raised beds. Plant only single seedling at the centre of a single regular 8-12 inch pot.
