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.

What to do with zucchini to speed up their growth

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.
