Effect of tillage methods on Eggplant yield in north of Khuzestan, Iran

Eggplant is one of the crops that has transferred from farms to great greenhouses. Its yield has increased from 15 tons when was grown in the field to 75 tons per hectare in greenhouse. Preparing of land is one of the important steps in greenhouse crop production. Two methods of Eggplant including Subsoil and Bed and Disk were applied. The experiment was split plot a completely randomized block design with 4 replications and treatments 8 was conducted. The interaction between tillage could produce 557 grams Eggplant per each plant. When eggplants were planted the second season yield for the subsoil and bed showed an increase of 14.6 percent. The subsoil and bed treatment showed an slight increase in fruit size and also produced more fruit per acre by 8.7 percent. The increase in yield for the eggplant could be attributed to eggplants being a deep rooted plat as apposed to cantaloupe which is shallower rooted.
