Improper hormone application on zucchini can easily lead to crooked fruit
Zucchini does not use the method of dipping flowers or dotting flowers like cucumbers and tomatoes do; instead, it uses the method of symmetrically smearing hormone solution on both sides of the fruit body to promote fruit set. However, when Zhang Guangzhao smeared the hormone solution on both sides of the zucchini fruit body, he did not pay attention to symmetrical application.

Zucchini does not use the method of dipping flowers or dotting flowers like cucumbers and tomatoes do; instead, it uses the method of symmetrically smearing hormone solution on both sides of the fruit body to promote fruit set. However, when Zhang Guangzhao smeared the hormone solution on both sides of the zucchini fruit body, he did not pay attention to symmetrical application. Just to promote fruit set, he casually smeared the hormone on only one side of the fruit body. Although this promoted fruit set, it caused one side of the zucchini fruit body to grow faster while the other side grew relatively slower, resulting in crooked zucchini fruit.
It is recommended to pay attention to symmetrical hormone application when smearing zucchini fruit, and also to ensure that the length and width of application on both sides of the fruit body are consistent. Do not apply too much hormone on one side and less on the other, which would cause the fruit body to bend toward the side with less hormone. If the application is uneven, remedial measures should be taken promptly by lightly applying a third stroke on the bent side, so that the hormone is evenly distributed on the fruit body and the fruit expands evenly, preventing crooked fruit. Master Zhang can also purchase flower-free fruit-setting hormone for zucchini, which promotes fruit set by spraying the whole plant, thus eliminating crooked fruit caused by uneven distribution of hormone application.
