It is not difficult to grow tasty and large eggplants in the garden, even though this is a rather whimsical culture. It is necessary to choose the optimal soil and the right regular top dressing.
With a deficiency of nutrients, growth rates will slow down sharply. The root system will not receive enough fertilizer, which will have a negative impact on its development. Without top dressing, eggplants will be vulnerable to pests and diseases. How to feed eggplants in June – read the material GLOBAL HAPPENINGS.
Eggplants need basal feeding. It is not necessary to spray solutions on leaves or stems. If a drop of fertilizer gets on the foliage, you should immediately wash it off with water.

Nitrogen and potassium fertilizers will accelerate growth and will contribute to faster fruit ripening. You can buy ready-made mineral supplements based on nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus in specialized stores.
