Brinjal Germination Plantation & Health Benefits

Brinjal is one among the most beautiful vegetables, and also very tasty dishes can be prepared.Growing brinjal require the seeds to germinate first in a different tray.

GERMINATION

Step 1:
Fill a pot with water that equals five times the seed volume and brings it to a boil on a stove. Check the temperature of the water with a cooking thermometer, and when it reaches 176 degrees Fahrenheit, remove the pot from the stove.

Step 2:
Place the monkey pod tree seeds in the hot water and stir them for up to two minutes with a spoon before draining the liquid.

Step 3:
Fill a bowl with lukewarm water that's between 86 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit and soak the seeds in it for 24 hours. This pre-treatment is called scarification and alters the hard seed coat, which increases the chances of uniform germination.

Step 4:
Fill a pot with the moist seed-starting mix up to 1 inch from the top, place the seed on top of the surface and cover it with a 1/2-inch layer of the mix. Tamp down lightly and moisten the surface with a water-filled spray bottle to avoid washing away the seed.

Step 5:
Cover tightly plastic polythene wrap over the pot to promote soil moisture retention and place it in a dimly lit area of the house. Lift the plastic daily to check that the soil is moist. If not, lightly moisten it with a water-filled spray bottle before replacing the plastic. Expect germination within three to five days.

Step 6:
Remove the plastic as soon as the seedlings emerge, and gradually move the pot to a brighter area over a two-week period so that at the end of that time they're acclimated to being in full sunlight.

Step 7:
Transplant the seedlings outside to an area with full sun and well-draining soil after three to five months, when the seedlings are about 8 to 12 inches tall.            

To grow brinjal in a plastic sack, it takes 40 days to grow brinjal at this height.
Support for brinjal may require as the fruit is little heavy, so plan for the support prior to transplanting to a bigger container.    

Usage of fertilizer and other pesticides can be avoided to produce organic fruit. Soil preparation prior to planting is very important.              

Soil preparation is done while using cow dung or vegetable wastes. Kitchen wastes can be separated from plastic papers and other non-degradable wastes. these can be mixed with soil and can be prepared for producing manure. Same is being used here instead of fertilizers.
This gives more excitement when it fruits, I believe everyone would enjoy this result after a little effort and care that we can give.
