INTRODUCTIONEggplant crop prospects for the better and intensively managed commercial-scale agribusiness, but the average is still low. This is due to the form of cultivation is still a side of culture, information inadequate cultivation techniques at farm level.PT. Natural Nusantara strive to provide alternatives solutions how eggplant cultivation techniques in order to reach the increased production in K-3, the quantity, quality and environmental sustainability.
GROWING CONDITIONS- Can be grown in the high plains- Air temperature 22 - 30o C- The best type of soil, sandy loam type, fertile, rich in organic matter, aeration and good drainage and pH between 6.8 to 7.3- Sunlight should be sufficient- Suitable planting season
Nurseries- Soak seeds in lukewarm water + NASA POC dose of 2 cc per liter for 10 -15 minutes- Wrap the seeds in a wet cloth rolls for brooded over + 24 hours to appear began to germinate- Spread the seeds on nursery beds in rows, row spacing of 10-15 cm- Mix 1 pack of Natural GLIO 25-30 kg manure + fine let stand a week, then enter one by one into polybags seeds that already contain a mixture of fine soil and manure that has been blended with Natural GLIO ratio was 2: 1- Cover the seeds with a thin soil- Surfaces which have been sowing the seed bed covered with banana leaves- After the seeds seem to germinate appears, open the lid- Flush the morning and afternoon nursery- NASA POC Spray 2-3 doses per tank lid once every 7-10 days- Pay attention to pests and disease from the nursery- 1 to 1.5-month-old seedlings or leaf four strands ready dipindahtanamkan
PROCESSING OF LAND- Clean up weeds (weeds) from around the garden- Sports ground with a hoe or plow as deep as 30-40 cm until crumbly- Create a raised bed width 100-120 cm, 40-60 cm distance between the beds, smooth surface of the bed- If the soil pH is low, add the Dolomite- Spread manure 15-20 t / ha, mix evenly with the ground. It would be optimal if it is added SUPERNASA or if no manure can be substituted SUPERNASA 10-20 bottles / ha by the way:Alternative 1: one bottle SUPERNASA diluted in 3 liters of water used as mother liquor. Then every 50 liters of water were given 200 cc of the mother liquor to water bedsAlternative 2: every one yells volume of 10 liters of water was given a spoon to eat SUPERNASA pressed to flush the + 10 m beds
- Spread the base with a mix of ZA fertilizer or Urea 150 kg + 250 kg per ha TSP mixed with the soil evenly or approximately 10 grams of a mixture of manure per planting hole- Spread the Natural GLIO 1-2 sachets which have 25-50 kg of manure was mixed evenly into bed or into the planting hole- If you use plastic mulch, cover the bed in the daytime- Allow for a week before planting- Make the planting hole with a distance of 60x70 cm / 70x70 cm
PLANTING- When planting a good drought- Select seeds that grow fast and normal- Plant seeds in the planting hole is upright and compacted soil around the stem- Flush the planting hole that has been planted to quite wet (humid)
IrrigationDone regularly every day, especially during the early phases of growth and dry weather, can be watered with a leb or yells
Stitching- Sulam abnormal plant growth, death or disease pests- Stitching a maximum of 15 days old
INSTALLATION stake (stake)- Do it as early as possible so as not to disrupt (destroy) the root system- Made of bamboo stake as high as 80-100 cm and 2-4 cm wide- Plug the individual close to the stem- Tie the stem or branch of eggplant at stake
Weeding- Wild grass or weeds around the plants weeded or revoked- Weeding is done at the age of 15 days and 60-75 days after planting
FertilizationThe type and dose of fertilizer tailored to the type of soil macro, and the condition of the varieties according to the local agricultural bureau of reference. One of the following alternatives:Fertilizer Types
Fertilization is placed as far as 20 cm from the stem of the plant as much as 10 grams of a mixture of fertilizer per plant drill or bolt closed and watered soil or fertilizer dikocorkan of 3.5 grams per liter of water, fertilizer solution kocorkan as much as 250 cc per plantSpray 3-4 caps NASA POC HORMONIK + 1 cap per tank every 1-2 weeks
PRUNING (PEREMPELAN)Prune shoots that grow wild from the first armpit leaves until the first flower also dirempel order to stimulate new shoots and flowers that grow more productive immediately
PEST CONTROL DISEASE
H A M AA. Leaf beetle (Epilachna spp.)Symptoms of the bite marks on the lower leaf surfaceWhen severe attacks can damage all the tissues of leaves and live leaves only bonesControl measures; collect and destroy beetles, set the time of planting, prevention with pentane PESTONA or AERO 810 + every 1-2 weeks.
2. Leaf louse (Aphis spp.)Attacked by sucking the fluid cell, especially in the shoots or young leavesAbnormal leaves, wrinkled or curly or curledVirus as a vector or intermediateControl measures; set the time of planting and crop rotation, preventive spray + pentane or Natural BVR AERO 810 every 1-2 weeks.
3.Tungau (Tetranynichus spp.)The onslaught of the dry season.Attacked by sucking liquids plant cells, causing symptoms of hives to brown or black on the upper leaf surface or the bottom.Same way as in the control of aphids dalian want.
4. Land caterpillar (Agrotis Ipsilon Hufn.)Polifag is an active, dusk or nightAttack the growing point by cutting the young plants, so limp and collapsedControl measures; collect and destroy caterpillars, flush or spray PESTONA prevention or pentane + AERO 810.
5.Ulat grayak (Spodoptera litura, F.)Polifag nature.Attack by damaging (consuming) until the holes in the leaves.Control measures; set the time of planting and crop rotation, spray with Natural VITURA.
6.Ulat Fruit (Helicoverpa armigera Hubn.)Is polifag, attacked by biting fruits and drilling holes, so the fruit does not form normally, and susceptible to black pod disease.Control measures; collect and destroy infected fruit, crop rotation and time to do planting a garden sanitation, preventive spray PESTONA or pentane + AERO 810 every 1-2 weeks
DISEASEA. Bacterial wiltCause: The bacterium Pseudomonas solanacearumLive long in the landViolent attack on a high enough temperatureKelayuan attack symptoms occur suddenly the whole plant
2. Fruit RotCause: The fungus Phytophthora sp., Phomopsis vexans, Phytium sp.Symptoms of the brown patches of wetness on the fruit so the fruit rot.
3. Leaf spottingCause: The fungus Cercospora sp, Alternaria solani, Botrytis cinereaSymptoms of patches of gray-brown or black on the leaves.
4. AntraknoseCause: The fungus Gloesporium melongenaSymptoms of curved patches on the fruit and rounded and enlarged brown with black dots
Neck 5.Busuk rootCause; Sclerotium rolfsiiSymptoms of brown stem rot
6.Rebah SemaiCause: The fungus Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium spp.Symptoms of stem-basahan kebasah young seedlings, shrank and finally collapsed and diedDisease control measures:Planting resistant varieties, set the spacing and crop rotation, drainage improvements, set the humidity to the rather wide spacing, remove and discard diseased plants Soak the seeds with NASA POC dose of 2 cc / lt + Natural GLIO dose of 1 g / l, the Prevention of Natural spread GLIO manure mixed into the planting hole before planting.
Note: If the control of pests and diseases with natural pesticides have not been overcome, can be used as a last alternative to chemical pesticides is recommended. In order to spray more evenly and not easily lost by rain water add Grader wetting adhesive AERO 810 0.5 doses per tank lid
