  • Nursery

    A. Nursery

    1. Seedling Media
    The seedling medium used is a mixture of top soil and fine manure and roasted husks with a ratio of 2: 1: 1
    2. Seedling tools/places
    Place the seedlings on a bamboo table that is given a plastic shade or on a plastic seedling tray 3. How to seed
     Before sowing the seeds, the seedling media is flushed with water evenly.
     Sow Eggplant seeds by placing 1-2 seeds in the seedling tray holes or spreading them thinly on the seedling media on a bamboo table and covering them thinly with soil.
     Then cover the seedling media tightly with plastic mulch. This is to keep the seedling media from drying out easily and speed up seed germination.
     Eggplant seeds will start growing at the age of 6-7 days after sowing in the lowlands and 10 days in the highlands.
    4. Seed Treatment
     Check the seeds that are starting to grow by opening the plastic mulch cover on day 4/5 and watering if the media starts to dry.
     Regular watering is done every morning and evening if the media is dry with a shower.
     Fertilization is given if needed when the seedlings are 15 days old with NPK 2 g/l of water.
     Spraying fungicides and insecticides if needed on the 7th or 10th day with a dose of ½ of the recommendation.
     The need for eggplant seeds per hectare is around 16,000 seeds.
     Seed reserves for embroidery add about 10-20%.

  • Land Preparation

    B. Land Preparation

    1. Clearing the land of grass/weeds and remaining plant roots, so that plant growth is not disturbed by pests and disease hosts.
    2. Plowing the land and rotating if with a tractor as deep as 30-40 cm to loosen the soil and improve soil drainage and aeration.
    3. Apply dolomite lime together with tillage if the soil pH is < 6.
    4. Making beds with a width of 110-120 cm height of 30-40 cm according to the season, the width of the ditch 50-60 cm and the length of the beds according to land conditions.
    5. Apply manure on the surface of the bed and mix it evenly. Manure needs 20 tons/ hectare.
    6. Apply basic fertilizer NPK 50 gr, SP.36 25 gr/m2.
    7. Cover the surface of the bed with soil and level it.

  • Planting

    C. Planting

    1. Setting the spacing
    Eggplant planting distance is 70 x 60 cm.
    2. Making mulch planting holes
    Mulch planting holes can be made with a hole punch made of heated iron according to the recommended spacing.
    3. Planting Technique
    Eggplant seeds ready for planting 25 days old. Planting is done by planting 1 or 2 seeds per planting hole, then watering. Planting in lowland areas should be done in the afternoon to avoid seed stress.

  • Plant Maintenance

    D. Plant Maintenance

    1. Watering
     Watering by watering with a dipper is done every day.
     Watering by pouring it into the ditch and pouring it into the planting hole (on the leb) is done 1-2 times per week.
    2. Embroidery
    Stitching is done to replace dead plants until the plants are 7 days old, this is to maintain the planting population intact.
    3. Installation of bamboo stakes/truses Installation of stakes/turus is carried out from 1 week old plants, so as not to damage the plant roots. Eggplant stick length 150 cm. plugged 5 cm from the planting hole.
    4. Picking side shoots (pewiwilan). Picking side shoots on Eggplant is done on shoots that grow under the V
    branch 5. Weeding of grass/weeds
    Weeding of grass or weeds that disturb the plants is carried out 2 times during one season, namely when the plants are 30 days old and 60 days old with a small hoe.

  • Harvesting

    G. Harvesting

    1. The harvest of Eggplant plants depends on the variety that is planted early or at its age, as well as the planting location in the lowlands or highlands.
    2. Plants planted in the lowlands initially harvest faster than the highlands.
    3. Generally harvesting is done every 5-6 days depending on market demand and the distance from the garden to the market 4. Eggplant Long harvest age 50-60 hst. Eggplant round harvest age 45-50 hst.
