The latest method for continuous flowering and fruiting in eggplants
Eggplant is a common sight in our daily market, delicious in taste and rich in nutrients, and deeply loved by people. However, after the eggplant flowers and fruits, the root system's absorption capacity weakens, and pests and diseases break out with increasing intensity, causing a sharp decline in flowering and fruiting, smaller fruits, and poorer marketability. So is there a way to make eggplants flower and fruit continuously, thereby increasing yield? Let's find out together below.
1. Timely topdressing
After the eggplant flowers and fruits, a nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer and high-quality organic fertilizer should be drenched at the roots once every 15-20 days to protect the plant's vigor, so that the plant does not decline prematurely due to insufficient nutrients. Each time, apply 10-15 kg of decomposed farmyard manure and 8-10 kg of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer per mu, mix with clean water or decomposed manure water diluted 100-150 times, and drench, which can restore plant vigor as quickly as possible and promote the plant to flower and fruit again.
2. Foliar topdressing
During the flowering and fruiting period of eggplant, spray once every 7-10 days with a mixture of 0.1% magnesium sulfate, 0.2% urea, 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and 3000 times Huangjia natural brassin, or spray 800 times vegetable-specific Gaomeishi organic humic acid active liquid fertilizer. Spray continuously 2-3 times to rapidly raise the nutrient level of the leaves, keep the leaf color dark green, prevent leaf yellowing, delay plant aging, promote continuous flowering and fruiting, and extend the harvest period.
3. Hilling soil
During the flowering and fruiting period of eggplant, decomposed farmyard manure, pond mud, burnt soil, or other new soil-fertilizer mud can be applied around the plant roots, 2-3 kg per plant, with a thickness of about 3-5 cm. This covers the exposed roots, protects the root system, prevents root decline, enhances the root system's absorption capacity, and promotes continuous flowering and fruiting of the plant.
4. Pest and disease control
During the flowering and fruiting period of eggplant, it will suffer from the harm of gray mold, Phytophthora blight, aphids, tea yellow mites, whiteflies, shoot-boring insects, and other pests and diseases. They will affect plant growth, aggravate the decline of plant vigor, and in severe cases cause a serious drop in yield, or even total crop failure. Preventive measures should be taken well. Spray once every half month with a mixture of 1000 times Nongdile and 1000 times Sukeling, or a mixture of 1000 times Lesiben and 1000 times Meiteling for control, which can provide effective control. Spray continuously 2-3 times, evenly spraying all leaves and fruits, until water droplets begin to drip down. If it rains within 4 hours after spraying, spray once again to improve the control effect.
