3. How can you grow eggplant to increase the fruit-setting rate?

1. Thin flowers and pinch off growing tips: when eggplant produces flower buds, promptly remove the branches and tips that have many forks and many flower centers, so as to promote new branch growth and increase the fruit-setting rate. In addition, while pinching off growing tips, you can remove branches with weaker growth to reduce flower and fruit drop.

2. Reasonable planting: eggplant seedlings are best transplanted with soil on cloudy days in late February or June. If too early or too late, the plants will drop flowers and fruits and cannot safely pass the summer. Of course, if transplanting on a sunny day, it is also fine, generally after 4 p.m., but you need to water promptly to ensure sufficient moisture. At the same time, about 1650 seedlings per mu is best to promote eggplant seedling growth.

3. Cultivation and weeding: after the eggplant seedlings are successfully planted, water every two or three days and promptly cultivate and weed two or three times to promote rooting of the eggplant seedlings. In addition, in the rainy season, drain water promptly to avoid waterlogging damage and affect plant growth.

4. Artificial pollination: when eggplant produces flower buds, pollinate them from 8-10 a.m. to increase the success rate of pollination and increase the fruit-setting rate.

5. Pest and disease control: during the growth period, eggplant may suffer from verticillium wilt, aphids, red spider mites, and other pests and diseases. Therefore, before sowing, be sure to disinfect the seeds to increase the later survival rate. At the same time, during each growth period, do a good job in fertilizer and water, light, and other management work to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases. For those already affected by pests and diseases, promptly choose targeted pesticides for control to increase the fruit-setting rate.

In general, eggplant market prices vary. It depends on where you buy and which type you buy, so when buying, try to check the local market. In addition, if you want to increase the fruit-setting rate of eggplant, you need to do the basic management work well, such as pinching off growing tips, weeding, and pest and disease control.
