How to dive eggplants according to the lunar calendar

Sowing preparation

Seeds that are not more than 5 years old are considered suitable for sowing. Two-year-old seeds germinate well.

The purchased planting material is checked for germination. To do this, 10 pieces are soaked in water for a day, after which they are laid out on a towel. During the week, the germination percentage is checked, which must be at least 50%.

Self-harvested seeds require additional preparation:

• to awaken the seeds, they are soaked in hot water for 5 minutes;
• produce treatment with growth stimulants;
• for a week, the planting material is put in the refrigerator at night, during the day it is left in the room for hardening;

Planting and picking eggplants in 2018

• early varieties are planted in mid-March;
• late in mid-February.

In the south, plants are planted:

• early - at the end of March;
• late - at the beginning of March.

Good eggplants with strong seedlings

Seedlings aged 60-70 days are planted in open ground. Seedlings for planting should not be overgrown, this will reduce the yield.

The ripening period in early varieties after sprouting is up to 110 days, in middle varieties - 125, in late ones - 140.

Features of growing according to the lunar calendar

The lunar calendar for picking is made up for each year. Planting rules for the calendar:

• do not dive at full moon and new moon;
• dive when the Moon is in the sign of Virgo;
• planting a culture with a growing moon - the root system is strengthened faster;
• with the waning moon, it is better to dive, so the risks of damage to the root are minimal.

Landing in February

In February, only late varieties of eggplant are sown so that they do not overgrow. For sowing seeds, favorable numbers: 7, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26.

Unfavorable for planting are the days of the new moon and full moon - 15-17 of the month.

Landing and picking in March

It is better to sow any crop in March: 5, 6, 15, 21, 20, 24, 25.

Moon phases in 2018 in march:

On the new moon (March 16-18) and the full moon (March 2 and 31), work is not carried out.

Landing and picking in April

The crop is planted at the end of April - 20, 21, 27-29. Eggplants dive in 2018 both at the beginning of the month - April 6-8, and at the end - 20-21, 24-26.

On the new moon (April 15-17) and the full moon (on the 30th), planting is not carried out.

Landing in open ground

The culture is planted in areas that are well lit, with a rich soil composition and where other crops, for example, cucumbers, peppers, have previously grown. Seedlings are transplanted in the same way according to the lunar calendar. The sprouts will take root well with the growing moon. The auspicious signs for the harvest through which the moon passes are Sagittarius, Leo and Aries.

Planting eggplant seedlings in 2018 is best done on May 20 and 21, June 16-17 and 25-26.In May, unfavorable days for disembarkation are 15 and 29, in June - 13 and 28.

General rules for picking

When picking, the plants are transplanted into special pots or cups. The procedure is complex, it should be carried out carefully, since the root system is sensitive to mechanical stress.

Cons of diving seedlings:

• if the work is carried out incorrectly and of poor quality, then the seedlings die;
• the risk of contracting infectious diseases is higher - through the soil or hands;
• development of eggplants is delayed for several weeks.

Dive benefits:

• the roots are confused less often if the pick is carried out efficiently;
• weak shoots are rejected;
• the right growing conditions are created;
• the hypocotal knee is stretched less frequently, it sinks into the soil.

Sprouts dive into plastic cups 500 gr. Peat pots are not suitable for growing eggplants, as they can crumble and break with abundant watering. Growth stimulants are added to the water. If the main root is too long, pinch it.

After transplanting, the seedling is transferred to a warm and bright place, but the plant should be protected from direct sunlight. Dry air and drafts will slow down the growth of the plant.

Conclusion

Planting and picking of eggplants in 2018 according to the lunar calendar is carried out on strictly defined days. It is better to dive a culture with a growing and waning moon, it is not advisable to carry out the procedure - with a new moon and a full moon. Dates are individually selected for each variety.
