Early eggplant seedlings are vulnerable to soil-borne diseases such as damping-off, blight, and sclerotinia. To prevent these issues, it's essential to disinfect the seedbed soil before planting. A common practice is to mix 50 kg of seedbed soil with 20 g of 68% Jinlei water-dispersible granules and 10 ml of 2.5% Silay suspension. This mixture not only helps in disease control but also enriches the soil with essential nutrients. Alternatively, you can directly apply the solution to the seedlings. During the seedling stage, spraying a solution of 0.1% to 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.05% to 0.1% calcium chloride can significantly improve the plants' resistance to diseases. At the early stages of disease occurrence, it's recommended to spray 58% metalaxyl-MnZn WP diluted at 500 times or 64% mancozeb WP at the same dilution to prevent damping-off. For blight, applying 70% thiophanate-methyl at 800 times dilution can both prevent and treat the infection. If sclerotinia is detected, using 50% carbendazim WP at 1500 times or 50% vinclozolin wettable powder at 1000 times is effective in controlling the disease. For overwintering eggplant cultivation, bacterial leaf spot is a common concern. It can be managed by spraying 600 times dilution of 40% chlorothalonil WP, 600 times of bacterial spirit, or 47% mancozeb WP. These treatments help in reducing the spread of bacterial infections and protecting the crop. Whether you're growing eggplants during winter or in an early spring nursery, it's crucial to pay attention to temperature management. January is typically the coldest month, so maintaining warmth and reducing humidity is key. To protect the plants from cold stress, you can spray a mixture of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and brown sugar. Additionally, applying 68% Jinlei powder diluted at 600 times or 68.75% pyraclostrobin at 600 times can help prevent cold damage and promote plant health. Regular monitoring and timely interventions are essential for successful eggplant cultivation.
