  Apply a balanced fertilizer like cattle compost every month during the growing season.  Fertilizer to be applied through side dressing , a process of digging a 6-inch trench around each plant and applying a fertilizer to it to keep nutrients available to the plant on an as-needed basis. Side dress again in after one month . You can also fertilize your seedlings with vermicompost As brinjal grow, it will need regular replenishment of nutrients in the soil. A good-quality organic NPK fertilizer can also be used for this purpose, which contains high nitrogen , phosphorus, and potassium Liquid fertilizer like Fish emulsion can be applied to increase the immunity and promote plant growth .  Epsom salts can also be provided to aid flowering and healthy plant growth as they are rich in magnesium .

  Brinjal grows best in a well-drained sandy loam or loam soil that is good in organic matter Select a well drained pot with drainage holes so that they would help to drain out excess water present in the soil so as to reduce the risk of root rot . Fill the pot with two parts potting soil and one part sand. Mix organic fertilizer to the soil balanced ratio of 20-20-20 of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium Sow the brinjal seeds over the potting mix and cover them with thin layer of soil Water regularly and the seeds generally germinate within 2-3 weeks After 30 days , sapling would have grown by 3 to 4 inches and will be ready for transplanting. During Transplanting you may need to carefully slide a gardening trowel into the side of the pot and remove the saplings and plant them in individual pots
