Neelima (bacterial wilt
resistant F 1 hybrid),
Pus a Purple Cluster.
Brinjal is a
transplanted
vegetable. Seeds are
sown in the nursery
and one-monthold
seedlings are
transplanted to the
main field. For
sowing the seeds,
raised seedbeds of
90 to 100 em width
and convenient
length are prepared
in open space with
fertile topsoil to
which well
decomposed organic
matter has been
incorporated. .After
sowing the seeds,
mulch with green
leaves and irrigate
with a rose-can
daily in the
morning. Remove the
mulch immediately
after germination of
the seeds. Restrict
irrigation one week
before.
Time of planting
For rainfed crop,
transplant the
seedlings during
May-June before the
onset
of'southwest
monsoon. Planting
can also be done
during
September-October
for
irrigated crop.
Plant protection
For avoiding damping
off of the seedlings
in
the nursery, sow the
seeds as thin as
possi_ ble in the
raised beds prepared
in the
open area during
summer months.
Follow mechanical
removal and
destruction of pest
/ disease affected
portions for
control of fruit and
shoot borer and
Phomopsis fruit rot.
Spray carbaryl 0.15%
at an interval of
15-20 days to
control fruit and
shoot borer under
large-scale
cultivation.
Uproot plants
affected by little
leaf and spray
insecticides for
further control.
Cultivate resistant
varieties like Surya,
Swetha and Haritha
and the hybrid
Neelima in bacterial
wilt prone areas.The
root knot nematode
can be managed by
the application of
Bacillus macerans or
B. circulans 1.2 x
106 c
F or the control of
pests, application
of granules of
carbofuran at the
rate orO.5 kg ai/ha
or phorate at the
rate of 1 kg ai/ha
at seeding followed
by need based
application of
foliar insecticides
has been
recommended. The
application of
granules is
recommended only at
the time of seeding.
