Can eggplant be planted in early spring? How long is the growth cycle of eggplant?
Eggplant should be planted in the open air or greenhouse first. If planted in a greenhouse, the time is uncertain. If it is planted in the open air, it is a bit premature to plant eggplant in early spring. Eggplant comes from millet, which likes to grow at 20 to 30 degrees, but it can't reach this temperature in most areas in early spring. Eggplant likes high temperature, the temperature is between 20 ~ 30℃ when sowing and germination, and the development temperature of seedling stage is between 20 ~ 30℃ during the day and 15 ~ 20℃ at night. If it is lower than 15 degrees Celsius, the growth of the currency will be slower and it will also weaken. If it is lower than 10℃, the metabolism of eggplant will be unbalanced. In early spring, many places did not meet such conditions. In our Jiangsu province, it is often said that it is more appropriate to plant eggplant around Qingming.
The growth cycle of eggplant is generally between 50 days and 60 days, which is about two months. The growth cycle of eggplant can generally be divided into germination stage, seedling stage and flowering and fruit-setting stage. During the growth period of eggplant, it is necessary to give eggplant sufficient light, water and fertilizer, and spray fungicides regularly, which is beneficial to the growth of eggplant. In fact, it takes half a month for eggplant to germinate from seed to grow the first leaf. When the eggplant grows to blossom and bear fruit, the flowers on the first, second, third and fourth branches will bear fruit. It is amazing to observe the growth process of eggplant.
Therefore, people who grow eggplant can look at the area where their home is located. At this time, whether the temperature reaches the temperature at which eggplant grows, whether the lighting conditions and soil humidity are suitable for planting eggplant. If all conditions are met, eggplant can grow well.
