Is there any method to increase brinjal yield?

Brinjal performs well under direct sunlight . Do not grow the plant under shade of trees. Application of organic fertilizers such as vermicompost and spraying Panchgavya have been found to increase vegetable yield and prolong shelf life after harvest.

Is there any method for inducing profuse fruiting and early ripening of the fruits of our sapota trees? The trees are more than 20 years old.
