Description
खेती एवं बुवाई निर्देशिका — Brinjal Seeds AgriBee 18 F1 HY
फसल के सर्वोत्तम प्रबंधन, रोग प्रतिरोधकता और प्रीमियम उत्पादन के लिए संपूर्ण चरणबद्ध कृषि निर्देशिका।
🌾 भूमि की तैयारी एवं खेत सुधार
खेत की समुचित जुताई एवं तैयारी से एकसमान अंकुरण और मजबूत जड़ों का विकास होता है।
🌱 आदर्श मिट्टी का प्रकार एवं pH
Well-drained loamy to sandy-loam soils with pH 5.5–7.5. Deep, fertile soils rich in organic matter are preferred for sustained fruit development and canopy health.
✨ प्रमुख कृषि लाभ
Free-draining seedbed ensures rapid seed germination, prevents damping-off, and establishes a strong taproot system for nutrient uptake.
- 1
Deep summer ploughing followed by 2–3 cross-harrowings for fine tilth and weed seed destruction.
- 2
Field leveling with laser levelling where possible, and creation of drainage channels to prevent waterlogging during monsoon.
- 3
Incorporation of 8–10 t/acre well-decomposed FYM or vermicompost into the topsoil before final land preparation.
- 4
Soil health conditioning — apply gypsum at 25 kg/acre in alkaline soils; use neem cake amendment at 20 kg/acre to suppress soil-borne pathogens.
🌱 बुवाई का समय एवं विधि
सटीक बीज दर और सही दूरी से पौधों को पर्याप्त सूर्य का प्रकाश और संतुलित विकास मिलता है।
| मानक / पैरामीटर | अनुशंसा / निर्देश | कृषि महत्व |
|---|---|---|
| बुवाई समय सीमा | May – June for Kharif / September – October for Rabi transplanting | Ensures transplanting during favorable temperature (20–30°C) and avoids extreme heat or cold stress during critical fruit set |
| बीज दर (प्रति एकड़) | 250–300 g per Acre (for transplanting to 1-acre main field) | Optimal plant population of 25,000–30,000 plants per acre ensuring uniform stand and vigorous canopy |
| कतार एवं पौधे का अंतर | 60 cm (row-to-row) × 45 cm (plant-to-plant) | Provides adequate canopy spread, air circulation, and light penetration reducing disease pressure and improving fruit quality |
| Sowing / Transplanting Depth | 0.5–1.0 cm for direct sowing; transplant at 3–4 leaf stage with root intact | Proper depth ensures uniform emergence; accurate transplanting age minimizes shock and accelerates recovery |
💧 सिंचाई एवं जल प्रबंधन
उचित नमी प्रबंधन से पौधे की वानस्पतिक एवं फलने-फूलने की अवस्था में जोरदार विकास होता है।
☀️ जल आवश्यकता एवं सिंचाई प्रोफाइल
Brinjal is moderately drought-sensitive; consistent soil moisture is critical, especially during flowering and fruit development. Drip irrigation with fertigation is highly recommended — delivers 2–4 mm per event every 2–3 days in summer and 4–5 mm every 4–5 days in Kharif. Avoid both waterlogging and prolonged moisture deficit.
🌦️ Soil नमी प्रबंधन
In rainfed conditions, ensure pre-sowing irrigation (2–3 cm) for germination. Apply mulch (straw or black polyethylene) to conserve soil moisture. Supplemental irrigation at flowering and fruiting stages is essential even in low-rainfall years to prevent flower drop and fruit deformity.
- ✓
First irrigation immediately after transplanting (DAE/DAT) to ensure quick establishment and reduce wilt incidence.
- ✓
Vegetative phase: light irrigation every 5–7 days in summer; maintain soil moisture at 60–70% field capacity for vigorous foliage growth.
- ✓
Critical stage — flowering and fruit set: continuous moisture is vital; deficit irrigation causes flower abort, fruit malformation, and increased pest infestation. Maintain 70–80% field capacity.
- ✓
Withhold irrigation 5–7 days before first picking to improve fruit firmness and shelf life; resume light irrigation post-harvest for next flush.
🧪 उर्वरक एवं पोषण प्रबंधन
संतुलित पोषण से मजबूत पौधा संरचना और उच्च गुणवत्ता वाली उपज प्राप्त होती है।
| पोषक तत्व | अनुशंसित मात्रा (प्रति एकड़) | प्रयोग विधि एवं समय |
|---|---|---|
| नाइट्रोजन (N) | 80–100 kg/acre as Urea (46% N) | 50% basal at transplanting; remaining 50% split into two top-dressings at 30 and 60 DAT |
| फॉस्फोरस (P₂O₅) | 50–60 kg/acre as DAP (18% P₂O₅) or SSP | 100% applied basal at transplanting near root zone for optimal root development |
| पोटाश (K₂O) | 40–50 kg/acre as MOP (60% K₂O) | 50% basal + 50% at first fruit setting to support fruit enlargement and color development |
🌿 निराई-गुड़ाई एवं खरपतवार नियंत्रण
समय पर खरपतवार नियंत्रण से मुख्य फसल को पूर्ण पोषण और नमी मिलती है।
-
1
पहली निराई-गुड़ाई: Carry out shallow hoeing at 15–20 DAT to control early weed flush and break crust. Manual weeding preferred near the plant base to avoid root damage.
-
2
दूसरी निराई एवं मिट्टी चढ़ाना: Perform second weeding at 30–35 DAT along with light earthing-up around the stem base for root aeration and support of developing fruit load.
-
3
विशेष अंतर-कृषि क्रियाएं: Apply organic mulch (paddy straw @ 500 kg/acre) immediately after transplanting to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and moderate soil temperature. Remove suckers (side shoots below first node) from main stem to direct energy toward fruit production.
🛡️ कीट एवं रोग नियंत्रण
फसल की सक्रिय निगरानी और एकीकृत प्रबंधन से रोगमुक्त एवं स्वस्थ फसल सुनिश्चित होती है।
🐛 कीट प्रबंधन एवं रोकथाम
- Shoot and Fruit Borer (Helicoverpa armigera): Larvae bore into young shoots and fruits causing wilting and fruit damage. Control: Install pheromone traps at 10/acre; spray Carbendazim 50 WP @ 1 g/L or Emamectin benzoate 5 SG @ 0.3 g/L at 15-day intervals during peak infestation. Release Trichogramma jezoensis @ 50,000/acre at weekly intervals for biological control.
- Brinjal Fruit and Shoot Borer (Leucinodes orbonalis): Small larvae feed on fruits and tender shoots, causing frass-filled entry holes. Control: Spray Spinosad 45 SC @ 0.3 ml/L or Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC @ 0.2 ml/L at 10–12 day intervals starting from 30 DAT. Practice early harvesting and remove infested fruits. Use light traps @ 1/acre.
- ਚਿੱਟਾfly (Bemisia tabaci): Sucks sap causing yellowing, curling, and sooty mold. Also vectors Leaf Curl Virus. Control: Spray Imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 0.3 ml/L or Thiamethoxam 25 WG @ 0.1 g/L. Yellow sticky traps @ 10/acre for monitoring and mass trapping. Remove infected plant residues promptly.
🔬 रोग नियंत्रण एवं उपचार
- Bacterial Wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum): Sudden wilting of one side of the plant with brown vascular discoloration. Control: Seed treatment with Streptocycline 0.2 g/kg seed + Copper oxychloride 3 g/L soil drench at 30 DAT. Rotate with non-Solanaceous crops for 2–3 seasons. Use raised beds with good drainage.
- Yellow Vein Mosaic Disease (YVMD — Begomovirus): Characteristic yellow vein clearing and leaf deformation, transmitted by whiteflies. Control: Rogue out and destroy infected plants immediately. Implement strict whitefly management with neonicotinoid sprays. Grow YVMD-resistant hybrids like AgriBee 18 F1 HY which carries specific resistance genes.
- Fruit Rot / Anthracnose (Colletotrichum capsici): Water-soaked lesions on fruit turning dark and sunken with concentric fungal sporulation. Control: Spray Mancozeb 75 WP @ 2 g/L or Copper oxychloride @ 3 g/L at 10–12 day intervals during humid weather. Avoid overhead irrigation; ensure proper spacing for fruit drying.
✂️ कटाई एवं उपज गुणवत्ता निर्देशिका
सही परिपक्वता पर कटाई से अधिकतम मंडी भाव और बेहतर भंडारण क्षमता मिलती है।
⏱️ कटाई समय एवं निर्धारण
First harvest begins 60–65 days after transplanting. Subsequent pickings are taken at 5–7 day intervals over 6–8 weeks, depending on fruit size target and market demand.
⭐ उपज की गुणवत्ता एवं विशेषताएं
Fruits exhibit glossy purple/black skin with firm, creamy-white flesh. Taste is mildly sweet with characteristic brinjal aroma. Low bitterness due to controlled seed development. Skin is smooth, taut, and free of blemishes — key indicators of premium quality.
| गुणवत्ता मानक | कृषि मानक | किसान एवं मंडी लाभ |
|---|---|---|
