The reason why the latest eggplant blossoms and does not bear fruit

The flowers of eggplant trees determine the number of eggplant fruits in the season, but growers often encounter situations where there are a large number of flowers on the trees, but they bear little or no fruit. So what is the cause of this? Let's work with the editor to understand the reasons in this respect.

1. Environmental factors

Due to the lack of systematic learning, most growers in China often ignore the effects of sunlight and temperature on flowers, resulting in a reduction in the number of fruits due to inattention to heat preservation. The temperature below 15 °will cause the flowers to freeze and fall, while the temperature of less than 3 hours during flowering will lead to a sharp decline in the success rate of pollination, and a long rain period will lead to or more shooting down. These are the more common causes of falling flowers, growers should pay more attention to environmental factors.

2. Boron deficiency

Chemical fertilizer is to make eggplant trees grow better, but unreasonable application of chemical fertilizer will cause eggplant trees to blossom and not bear fruit. At present, the mainstream chemical fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but boron is really needed when flowering. If boron is insufficient, the flowers are likely to wither directly and will not bear fruit at all. Every day, it is found that eggplant trees have a batch of necrotic and withered flowers, which may be caused by the lack of boron. Boron-containing fertilizer should be added in time.

3. Pollination

Pollination has always been a perplexing problem for flowers. In the process of growth, some flowers always fail to pollinate for various reasons. This situation is easy to identify, and if some eggplant trees have flowers that bloom vigorously but do not bear fruit, then it is most likely a pollination problem. At this time, in order to achieve better results, artificial pollination can be chosen to improve the probability of results.

4. Dense flowers

Finally, this problem is relatively easy to solve. People will find that when an eggplant tree blossoms too much, its flowering period will be very long, and it will rarely bear fruit under other normal conditions. This is because there are too many flowers, and the nutrients of eggplant trees are not enough to support so many flowers to bear fruit. In order for other flowers to bear fruit, it is necessary to get rid of some weaker flowers.

The above are the problems that eggplant trees are more likely to blossom or not bear fruit, and sometimes there are several situations mentioned above at the same time, we must carefully identify, can not apply the method, more relevant information can come to our website.
