Effect of thermal conditions and substrate type on the yielding of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.)

Abstract. In the years 2003-2004, from May to September, vegetation experiments were carried out with eggplant ‘Epic F1’ and ‘Solara F1’ cultivars in an unheated foil tunnel. Plants were grown in two substrates: raised peat and pine bark with low-moor peat (v:v 1:1). It was found that air temperature during eggplant vegetation and the applied substrate type had a significant effect on total yield and the number of fruits.

Keywords: eggplant, type of substrate, total yield, number of fruits, air temperature
