Green round brinjal is a traditional variety known for its mild flavor, tender flesh, and round shape. It is ideal for Indian cooking, especially for stuffed or roasted dishes. This variety grows well in warm climates and is suitable for cultivation across India during summer, monsoon, and early winter seasons.
Begin by sowing the seeds in a nursery tray or seedling pots. Sow them about half an inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Germination takes 7 to 10 days. Once the seedlings reach 4 to 6 inches in height with 4 to 5 true leaves, transplant them into grow bags, containers, or garden beds. Maintain a spacing of 18 to 24 inches between plants.
The plant requires full sunlight and regular watering. Apply compost or organic fertilizer every 15 to 20 days for optimal growth. Flowering begins in 40 to 50 days, and fruits can be harvested in 65 to 80 days after transplanting. Harvest when the fruits are round, glossy, and tender for best taste and quality.
This brinjal variety is ideal for terrace gardens, backyard spaces, and pots. It adapts well to different climates across India with basic care and organic management.
