Growing instructions

Brinjal is an annual plant and grows well in sunlight and is slightly drought resistant. They need enough space to spread out. They bear more fruits if there is enough space for them to spread out. Sow the seeds at one place at a depth of around 5 cm depth. It germinates quickly in around 5 to 10 days. When the plants are grown up to 3 inches, replant them with a spacing of 2 ½ to 3 feet between plants. Plant them in raised beds. Brinjal grows well in warm climates. In cold climates they are easily prone to insect and disease problems. Water moderately. If grown in pots grow one plant per plot. Add compost or manure for good yield.
