If you want to speed up the ripening process of zucchini, you need to carry out one small “procedure” with them.
As a result, as gardeners who have tried this method say, fruiting will begin 14 days earlier.
If the weather is unfavorable at the beginning of the growing season for zucchini - that is, there is little sun, but, on the contrary, a lot of precipitation, more male flowers appear on the plants, the so-called empty flowers, without an ovary.
There are either few or no female flowers.
The situation can be saved by picking off all the barren flowers.
Please note: Removal of all male flowers is only possible on self-pollinating hybrids.
If we are talking about climbing varieties, first you need to pick off all the male flowers, and after the female flowers appear, you need to leave a few for pollination.
In hybrid varieties, at the beginning of fruit formation, male flowers should be removed, after which the process can be left to take its course - the plants themselves will regulate the fruiting process.
If you notice a predominance of barren flowers, remove the male flowers. The difference will be noticeable immediately.
