The latest eggplant pruning techniques tutorial

Eggplant will inevitably fall into a period of decline in the process of planting, the first period of decline does not mean that the eggplant tree is useless, farmers can prune it again. So pruning is an excellent choice for farmers, so what is the process of pruning?

1. Time selection

In terms of time, the pruning time of eggplant is mainly concentrated in the decline period after harvest, which shows that the upper branches of the first eggplant tree begin to wither, and some parts will stop bearing fruit, so it is time to start pruning. This is also the case with some branches at the later stage of fruiting, and branches like this are recommended to be pruned immediately after harvest. Of course, eggplant in normal season can be pruned around the end of July, while those out of season can refer to the above to determine the time according to the growth of the plant.

2. Pruning position

The parts of pruning are more diversified, some places are pruning some withered branches, while others are directly cut off from above the stem. Everyone should choose the pruning method according to their own eggplant varieties, if the suggestion of fast growth and high yield is mainly to prune withered branches to ensure the high yield of eggplant continuously. If it is mainly eggplant in the greenhouse, you can try to prune from about 10-15 cm of the rhizome, or if the plant wilts as a whole, you can also use this way, so that the survival rate will be much higher, and the eggplant will bear fruit for a long time in the later stage.

3. Treatment after pruning

After pruning, it is necessary to deal with the wound in the trimmed part, generally using scissors to trim, which will cause secondary damage to the eggplant tree, reduce the survival rate, and is not conducive to the treatment of the wound. At this time, the mixed water of carbendazim can be sprayed on the wound to avoid the invasion of germs. Then apply more fertilizer and water more, so that eggplant trees have enough nutrients to grow better new branches. Cut branches should be taken away from the soil, do not stay in the soil, these weak old branches are relatively likely to carry germs, to avoid the formation of a source of infection.

After the completion of pruning, eggplant should pay extra attention to its initial growth, some may not adapt to the situation will wither. In order to reduce the influence of external factors, it is recommended to choose the weather with sunny weather but relatively weak sunshine.
