CHAPTER 1THE PROBLEMIntroductionEggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is viewed as one of the mainindividuals from the Solanaceae family, including financially significant specieslike potatoes, tomatoes, tobacco, and pepper (Knapp et al.,2013). In numerousnations, particularly in Asia, eggplant is developed for an enormous scope as amarket crop, essentially by smallholders. The Philippines, alongside China andIndia, is one of the main 10 eggplant makers on the planet as far as creation(FAO CropStat, 2012). For the beyond 10 years, eggplant has been the vitallyvegetable yield in the Philippines as far as creation and grounds. (BASCountryStat, 2012).As far as a dietary benefit, eggplant is viewed as perhaps the bestvegetable for human wellbeing because of its extremely low-calorie worth andhigh substance of nutrients, minerals, and bioactive mixtures. Farmers needfurther developed eggplant assortments for supportable creation and variation toenvironmental change difficulties. Because of its somewhat long developingseason, eggplants are more presented to an assortment of plant vermin,nematodes, and weeds than other vegetable yields (Courts et al., 2014; Docimoet al. 2016).Foliar spray fertilizer is a decent method for enhancing the healthfulrequirements of eggplants. Foliar spray, although not a substitute for solid soil,can be gainful when a plant is experiencing sure supplement insufficiencies.Foliar fertilizer is a compost item that is intended to be applied straightforwardlyto the leaves of a plant. Various organizations make a scope of foliar composts,from natural items alright for use on food harvests to more forceful syntheticmanures for ornamentals. Foliar treatment offers a particular benefit over soil
preparation when plant interest for supplements surpasses the limit of the rootsto assimilate supplements and when natural conditions limit the adequacy orforestall the use of supplements to the dirt.Foliar uptake of nutrients is muchfaster than root uptake.Although foliar feeding has not been widespread on agronomic crops butwidely used and accepted as an essential part of crop production, especially onhorticultural crops. Foliar feeding targets the growth stages where declining ratesof photosynthesis and leveling off of root growth and nutrient absorption occur, inattempts to aid translocation of nutrients into seed, fruit, tuber, or vegetativeproduction. Early foliar applications can make an already good crop better, eitherby stimulating more vigorous regrowth or maximizing the yield potential growthstage period.
