The lush flowering of fruit crops does not guarantee a rich harvest of fruits, berries or vegetables.
On the way to the cherished goal, the gardener will have to face the most unpredictable situations. Especially to get a rich harvest of southern crops, such as eggplants.
Let's figure out why this crop blooms but does not bear fruit.
First of all, the temperature
The plant reacts painfully to temperature fluctuations, and already at the mark of +15 the growth of bushes can stop. And if the thermometer rises above +30, then the bushes may not bloom, or the ovaries will not form. A greenhouse helps in this regard, in which it is necessary to monitor the microclimate.
Secondly, the condition of the soil
Not only crop rotation, but also the condition of the soil must be taken into account. The soil should not only be fertile, but also loose and with neutral acidity. Otherwise, it is easier to grow eggplants in tubs, with specially prepared soil.
Thirdly, watering
It should be moderate. Overwatering leads to disruption of air exchange in the soil. Lack of moisture will not allow buds and ovaries to form.
Fourth, fertilizers
The main enemy is an excess of nutritional supplements. The bushes will grow like yeast, and therefore they will not care about flowering and fruiting.
And finally, if the eggplants have blossomed, but there are no ovaries in sight, you need to use the stimulants "Bud" or "Ovary". But you should use these products only after all the mistakes in agricultural technology have been eliminated and other methods of solving the problem simply do not help.
