Vegetables Fertizer application of Sukuma and brinjals from transplanting to harvesting

Hi,
The fertilizer programme depends with the soil test analysis results which indicate the soil nutrients requirements.
However, during planting we need Phophatic fertilizer such as DAP, and being vegetative crops you require to supply the crops with Nitrogenous fertilizers such as CAN or Urea.
for brinjals you will need to top dress using potassium fertilizers.

Hi Application of well decomposed manure at planting is always the best if you want to go organic however, DAP at planting and CAN after 3 weeks of transplanting and MOP at flowering for fruiting vegetables to avoid flower abortion
