Why eggplant fruits are small and their skins turn pale
Author: Article source: Agricultural Science and Technology News Published: 2018-02-05 Views:
The main cause of this problem is that the eggplant encounters low temperatures before and after flowering, and insufficient light, among other factors, which affect flower bud differentiation, resulting in poor fruit development and the formation of stiff eggplants. Adding an excessive amount of gibberellin to the flower-dipping agent will cause hollow fruit with a raised skin. For this reason, during the key period of flower bud differentiation, the greenhouse temperature should be kept at 25°C~30°C, and should not exceed 35°C at the highest. Also, do not apply excessive fertilizer, do not water excessively, and adjust the flower-dipping agent according to the temperature; the amount of gibberellin used should be reduced.
