Even after having dealt with planting and replanting, summer residents are still overwhelmed with worries.
Having barely hilled up the potatoes, they need to start weeding, fertilizing, processing and starting all over again. The main thing here is to have time to pay attention to such capricious crops as eggplants.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminded how to care for eggplants.
At the beginning of July, it is necessary to take care of the eggplants, otherwise the harvest will be meager.
What threatens eggplants
Even with proper planting, seedlings are not immune to fungal diseases. These may include fusarium, macrosporiosis, and verticillium.
Diseases affect the root system, stems and leaves. Plants become weaker, which affects the harvest.
It is also worth remembering about Colorado beetles, aphids and spider mites, which encroach on plants.
How to treat plantings
Fungicides "Hom", "Oxyhom" or "Topaz" are used against fungal diseases. Treatment is carried out at intervals of 10-14 days.
Decis, Aktara or Iskra are used against pests. Insecticides deal with larvae and adult pests. They are used against the Colorado potato beetle, aphids and mites.
Fertilizers
The next important point after processing is the introduction of complex fertilizers. It is believed that it is better to introduce mineral fertilizers at this time, which will strengthen the seedlings and protect them from unfavorable conditions.
