From the following video you can find out which 10 commandments should be followed in order to get a good harvest of eggplant fruits:
Landing
Planting eggplant variety Bychok F1 can be done both in open ground and under reliable shelter. To get as many ripe and tasty fruits as possible, you must strictly adhere to the developed and proven scheme.It is necessary to form rows of plants so that the distance between them is 60-65 cm. Each individual bush of eggplant Goby F1 should be approximately 30-35 cm away from its nearest neighbor.
It is important to distribute all the bushes of the plant with a certain density. You should not place more than 4-6 bushes for each square meter of the selected area. Otherwise, strong density can lead to significant reduction of fruits.
Eggplant Goby can grow well after the ripening of carrots, onions, pumpkins or beans. Judging by some reviews, the optimal time for planting is May.
Top dressing
When performing regular care, do not forget about fertilizing the eggplant Goby F1. In most cases, the small size of the fruit is due to a lack of nutrients or their untimely supply. As a result, Goby F1 eggplants, if they appear, are in very small quantities. Is it possible to harvest a harvest from small fruits, which also acquire a bitter taste?
Not only is a deficiency harmful to plants, but an excess also does not bring anything good. For example, too much nitrogen in the diet leads to the fact that the Goby F1 eggplant bushes literally begin to bloom. However, such plants can no longer form ovaries, which practically eliminates the appearance of fruits.
That's why feeding eggplants The F1 bull is a very important procedure. At the same time, it must be applied at least three times, and preferably five times throughout the entire season. Sometimes plant fertilizer has to be applied every two weeks.
Fertile soil
If the land has fairly good fertility and regular mulching is carried out, then fertilizer is applied for the first time during the period when the eggplant Goby F1 begins to flower. The second time this is done just before harvest. And after the formation of fruits on the lateral shoots, fertilizer is applied a third time. As one option, you can use a solution containing the following components:
- ammonium nitrate – 5 g;
- superphosphate – 20 g;
- potassium chloride – 10 g.
This amount is quite enough to treat a square meter of land. When the time comes for the second feeding of plants, the content of phosphorus and potassium should be doubled.
Various organic fertilizers can also be used as an additional source of nutrients. Eggplant Goby F1 will benefit from both manure humus and rotted compost. Their quantity is selected at the rate of no more than 6 kg per square meter of land.
Poor soil
If the soil has a poor composition of useful minerals, then feeding Goby F1 eggplants is applied every 14 days. After the young plants are planted, you need to wait two weeks and feed the eggplants for the first time. To do this, you need to prepare a solution: 20 grams of complex mineral-based fertilizer is diluted in a bucket of water. For each eggplant bush, Goby F1, you need half a bucket of this solution.
For the second feeding, organic fertilizers will be required. Take 1 kg of mullein per bucket of water and mix everything well. Then you need to let the solution brew for about 7 days. When it is ready, it is used along with watering at the same rate: half a bucket for each plant.
To subsequently provide additional nutrition to the eggplants, you can use urea – it promotes the formation of ovaries and subsequently has a beneficial effect on the development of plant fruits. The solution is made according to the following calculation: a tablespoon is dissolved in a bucket of water.
When the first fruits appear on the bushes, it is useful to give liquid organic matter to the Bychok F1 eggplants. There are many recipes; an example is the following solution, consisting of:
- water – 100 liters;
- bird droppings - 1 bucket;
- nitrophoska – 2 glasses.
Mix all the ingredients well, then leave to infuse in some place for 5 or 6 days. Water each eggplant bush with two liters of the prepared solution. For another recipe, for 100 liters of water, you can take a glass of urea and a bucket of mullein. After everything is mixed, you need to let the solution sit for three days, no less. For further watering of plants, 5 liters per square meter will be required.
Foliar feeding
During the flowering period of eggplant Goby F1, it is useful to spray the plants with slightly diluted boric acid. If the weather is cool, microelements should be used for these purposes. If there are dense greens, it is worth adding potassium to the diet, and if there is a lack of it, urea. Any solution that is prepared for foliar feeding should have a weak composition compared to conventional watering. This will protect the plants from death.
Eggplants are unpretentious in growing conditions, but nevertheless they should not be completely denied care. Then there will be a lot of fruits, and they will be more delicious than ever.
