Eggplants do not do well in temperate climates; this crop requires careful care.
It is very important to pay attention to watering - with almost any discomfort the bush can shed flowers and ovaries.
Not all gardeners know how to properly water eggplants and make many mistakes.
We suggest you figure out what the average gardener does wrong.
Reasons for the Decline in Eggplant Yields
Five important recommendations for watering.
- Too much moisture. This crop tolerates dry soil better than too much moisture. Water only when the soil dries out.
- Cold water. Temperature differences can cause fruit to drop. Let the water settle in a barrel.
- Watering the leaves in sunny and hot weather. It is better to carry out this procedure closer to the evening, when the sun is not so strong.
- Watering the leaves in cold weather. During this period, eggplants do not need much moisture.
- Watering directly under the stem. Remember that the root system is quite close to the surface.
