How to water eggplants so that they don't taste bitter: a very important rule - many summer residents forget about it
Let's imagine a situation: you spent a lot of time and effort growing eggplants.
They harvested the crop, chose one of the fruits, washed it, tasted it... And realized that the vegetable was very bitter.
Yes, this is a huge disappointment! Unfortunately, any summer resident who ignores the rules for watering a garden crop can get into a similar situation.
When replenishing the moisture deficit, many gardeners forget about one important nuance.
Which one exactly? This question was answered by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
How to water eggplants correctly
The expert advises summer residents to remember an important rule once and for all: “Eggplants should never be exposed to a lack of moisture.”
If the crop grows in a bed where the soil is often dry, the developing fruits will have a distinct bitter taste.
To avoid this outcome, it is necessary to water the eggplants regularly and quite generously.
In the first half month after planting, the procedure should be carried out every day. One watering can is enough for 2-3 plants.
After this period, watering can be done less frequently - once every 3-4 days. In hot periods - once every 2 days.
Over time, the water consumption rate should increase to one watering can per plant.
Eggplants should be watered at the root. Liquid should not be on leaf blades, stems and forming vegetables.
When watering this popular garden crop, you need to use warm water.
After completing each procedure, it is necessary to loosen the soil.
