 introduction

It is known by dif.names

badane(kan) venkaya(tel)
baingan(hin)
Immature fruits are used in curries
and in many dishes
Brinjal is
originated in
indo burma
region

Area and production

India is the 2nd largest producer of

brinjal.in the world next to china
Area :5.02 Lakh ha
Production: 83.47 lakh tones
Soil

It can be grown in all type of soil

Light soils are good for an early yield
Clay- loam and silt –loam soils are
well suited for high yield
Climate

Warm season and day nutral crop

Susceptible to severe frost
Temp:21-27o C is ideal
Land preparation

Soils should be fertile and well drained

Plough the land 4-5 times before
transplanting
Bulky organic manures like well rotten
compost should be incorporated evenly
on the soil
Season

HILLS: sown during march and

transplanted during april
PLAINS: tr re 3 seasons
1. Winter crop (june to july)
2. Summer crop(nov to jan)
3. Rainy season (mar to april)
Seed rate and spacing

300-350 g seeds are required per ha

75 -90*60-75cm(for spreading
varieties)
75-90*45-60cm(for non spreading
varieties)
Seed treatment
Treat the seeds with Trichoderma
viride @4g/kg

Isolation distance
distance for foundation seed-200m
Distance for certified seed. -100m
Nutrient management

25 tones of FYM at the time of final

ploughing
RDF: 100 Kg N
150 Kg P
100 kg k
Roguing Stages

Before flowering
At the time of flowering

During post flowering &pre harvesting
During harvest
Floral biology
Brinjal flowers are large and violet
Flower consists of
Calayx:5 sepals (united)

• Removal of organs
flower . from
• Use sharp-pointed forceps to
force open the selectedbuds.

• Then split open theanthers

& remove them.
