Fertilizer	Eggplant is a heavy feeder, so when first planting in a plant container, give it a good dose of fertilizer and add lime to the soil because eggplant needs a lot of calcium. Then add fertilizer about once a month while the plant is actively growing.
Harvest Season	Harvest the fruit as soon as it reaches a diameter of 7 to 10 cm (about 3 months after transplanting). In the case of good irrigation and fertilisation practices, 10 to 12 of them can be harvested from each plant. Brinjal plants are delicate and care should be taken not to damage the plants during harvesting (the stems are quite brittle). Cut the fruit with pruning scissors. Handle with care to prevent bruising. Keep in mind that the shelf life of the fruit is not very long.
