Basic landing rules
The day before transplanting into the ground, it is necessary to water the seedlings plentifully, and also to additionally spray the plants with a growth regulator. It does not hurt to treat the seedlings from pests, because at first the risk of their occurrence is high. Terms of planting in the ground depends on where the seedlings will be grown. If it is a greenhouse, then it should be repotted at the beginning of May, and if it is a simple ground, in the second decade of May. When planting you should consider:
- the distance between the shoots should be about 50 cm, and between the rows - 65 cm;
- it is best to plan a landing in cloudy weather or in the evening so that the sun does not burn;
- depth of excavation should be 10-15 cm, and the plants themselves are immersed in the soil to the leaves.
How to feed the eggplant after landing in the ground
Throughout the season, feeding plants costs about three times. For the first time, this procedure should be carried out 11-13 days after the seedlings are planted in the ground, earlier it does not make sense, because the roots are still weak enough to absorb nutrients. 
Before the fruits appear, fertilizing is done with complex fertilizers with minerals, and during fruiting it is worth using nitrogen-phosphate fertilizers (they are made from 1 tablespoon of superphosphate and 1 tsp of ammonium nitrate, which must be diluted in 10 liters of water) .
The second time to feed is two weeks after the first: for 100 liters of water, add a bucket of mullein, a quarter of a bucket of bird droppings and a glass of urea. For one square meter you need about five liters of solution. The third time feeding eggplants seedlings produced at the beginning of fruiting: dissolve 60-70 g of urea, superphosphate and sodium chloride in 10 liters of water. This amount is enough for 5 square meters.
How to fertilize plants
Fertilizers for eggplant seedlings have a positive effect on this plant, because they provide substances needed for full development, such as salts of iron, boron and manganese. As a fertilizer ideal "Mortar" and "Robin Green". Well stimulates the growth of foliar feeding of eggplants from seedlings, produced two weeks after planting. And during the period of fruiting, it will be useful to sprinkle the soil from time to time with ashes.
Care Tips
It is important to properly water the plants after planting in open ground, because their growth depends on it. Eggplants require a lot of moisture, but this does not mean that they need to be poured, especially immediately after planting. In the first 5 days they do not need to be watered at all, because the seedlings are planted in already watered holes. 
Weather affects how often watering eggplant seedlings. So, on cloudy days, the land remains sufficiently moist, and watering is done once a week. And when the whole day is hot, you should water the seedlings every 3-4 days. Consider also that eggplants need to be watered in the morning, and at the same time try not to wet the leaves.The air temperature should not be below 24-27 ° C, because otherwise the flowering is delayed.
