Open-field eggplant cultivation
Solanum melongena L.
Cultivating eggplant in open fields requires adherence to strict temperature conditions, protection from wind, and the maintenance of a specific moisture regime. The crop is extremely sensitive to root system damage and requires careful site selection to exclude common solanaceous diseases.
In the reference 215 varieties crop Eggplant, where this is mentioned in the description.
When growing eggplant in open fields, the thermal regime is a critical factor. Growth and pollination are suspended at temperatures below +20 °C, and root activity ceases when the soil cools below +18 °C, which necessitates planting only in well-warmed soil. The crop requires protection from drafts and cold winds using windbreaks or covers, as it is less stress-tolerant than other solanaceous crops.
Eggplant agronomy involves maintaining the soil ball during planting due to weak root system regeneration and the formation of a deep cultivated soil layer of up to 40 cm. Irrigation must be differentiated: moisture is maintained at a level of 70% of field capacity during the growth period and increased to 80% of field capacity during fruiting to prevent fruit deformation. In crop rotation, isolation from other solanaceous crops for up to 5 years is required for the prevention of Fusarium wilt.
