Eggplant (also known as aubergine or brinjal) is a popular vegetable eaten all over the world, including here in Zambia, where our local variety is called impwa. This video shares how and why Mondo Farms has chosen eggplant as our major vegetable crop that we grow all year round.
It dives into our current crop on Dubai 1 and 2, and starts with how we sow seeds in an open field nursery. We then moved onto preparation of beds, before transplanting the ready seedlings in a series of batches. After setting up the drip irrigation on the beds, we then carry out various steps in crop husbandry, leading up the time we start harvesting from each block.
The video also discusses the benefits of succession planting strategy for vegetable farming success.
