AGRILABH BRINJAL RISHI SEEDS

Sowing should be done thinly in lines spaced at 5-7 cm distance. Seeds are sown at a depth of 2-3 cm and covered with a fine layer of soil followed by light watering by water can. The beds should then be covered with dry straw or grass or sugarcane leaves to maintain required temperature and moisture.

1. Germination:

• Start the seeds indoors about 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date in your region. This is typically done in late winter or early spring.

2. Planting Seeds:

• Use seed trays or small pots filled with a well-draining seed starting mix.
• Plant the “Rishi” brinjal seeds about 1/4 inch deep in the soil. Space them 2-3 inches apart.
• Water the soil lightly to keep it consistently moist.

3. Temperature and Light:

• Maintain a temperature of around 75-85°F (24-29°C) for optimal germination.
• Place the seed trays or pots in a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day or use grow lights.

4. Transplanting:

• Transplant the seedlings into larger pots or your garden when they have grown 2-3 true leaves and are about 3-4 inches tall.
• Ensure all risk of frost has passed if you’re planting them outdoors.

5. Outdoor Planting:

• Choose a sunny location in your garden with well-drained, fertile soil.
• Space the “Rishi” brinjal plants according to the recommendations on the seed packet or typical brinjal spacing, which is usually 18-24 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart.

6. Soil Preparation:

• Prior to transplanting, amend the soil with organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility.

7. Watering:

• Maintain consistent moisture in the soil, but avoid waterlogging. Water at the base of the plants to prevent fungal diseases.

8. Fertilizing:

• Apply a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer at planting and again when the plants start flowering, following the package instructions.

9. Mulching: – Use organic mulch, such as straw or compost, around the base of the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

10. Support and Pruning: – Depending on the variety and size of “Rishi” brinjal plants, you may need to provide support, like stakes or cages, to prevent them from bending or breaking as they grow. – Prune any damaged or yellowing leaves to improve air circulation.

11. Pest and Disease Management: – Regularly inspect your plants for common pests and diseases. Treat as needed using appropriate organic or chemical controls.

12. Harvesting: – Harvest “Rishi” brinjals when they reach the desired size and are glossy and firm. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut them from the plant.
