Planting eggplants in a greenhouse is an excellent choice for those who want to increase their harvest, protect plants from weather conditions, pests and diseases, and also get the first fruits at the beginning of the season.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke in detail about the advantages of growing eggplants in a greenhouse.
1. One of the main advantages of planting eggplants in greenhouse conditions is, of course, an increase in yield.
The greenhouse provides optimal conditions for rapid growth and abundant fruiting. Eggplants grown indoors develop much faster than those grown outdoors.
2. An important advantage of a greenhouse is the protection of plants from adverse weather conditions.
In a closed structure, eggplants are not afraid of wind, rain or cold. This provides favorable conditions for healthy growth and development of plants, which in turn also contributes to an increase in yield.
3. Another advantage of a greenhouse is the protection of eggplants from pests and diseases.
In a closed space, it is more difficult for pests to reach plants, so the crop will be protected from their negative impact.
4. Eggplants in greenhouses ripen much faster than in open beds. Thus, by planting eggplants in a greenhouse, you will be able to get the first ripe fruits and enjoy them earlier than your neighbors.
5. According to numerous gardeners, it is easier to monitor plants in a greenhouse – water them, apply fertilizers and maintain a comfortable temperature.
