There will be some dense branches and leaves in the process of eggplant pruning and seasonal eggplant growth, which will consume a lot of nutrients and affect the growth of plants. If you find too many branches and leaves, you should trim them in time and cut off those extra branches and leaves, so that the branches and leaves on the trunk can get enough nutrients and bear more huge fruits.
eggplant pruning is usually in the middle and late July. At this time, the upper branches of eggplant in spring greenhouse began to decline, and pruning was just right. After pruning, regenerated eggplant can be put on the market from the end of August to the beginning of September to ease the off-season market. During the whole growth period of eggplant, we need to prune it about four or five times. Does the eggplant need pruning after flowering? After the eggplant enters the flowering stage, it needs to be pruned properly. At this time, it is necessary to apply fertilizer to the eggplant in time, and then apply fertilizer to the eggplant every 2 days.
eggplant pruning method 1. If there are withered branches in eggplant, we'd better choose to cut them directly. Because such branches are meaningless and will hinder the production of other branches, it is better to cut them off directly. If the branches of eggplant grow very densely, then we need to trim them off properly. Too dense will lead to the eggplant growing very small, which we need to pay attention to.
2. when pruning, the main pruning is the thick branches, and those especially thin and tender branches do not need pruning. The thick branches are often rich in nutrients, so that the surrounding areas can continue to sprout to produce some branches. There are still some branches that will be eroded by insects and even have no leaves. Such branches need to be pruned, because the subsequent branches are basically withered, so there is nothing wrong with cutting them directly, which is also beneficial to the growth of other branches.
3. When pruning, be sure not to get close to the main stem shears, so that no branches will grow out. We need to keep some lateral branches, so that they can send out more lateral branches, which we need to know. When pruning, many people don't know how to cut the scissors. In fact, they cut them obliquely. The oblique cutting is beneficial to the wound healing of eggplant. We need to pay special attention to this. Don't cut them directly flat.
How to prune eggplant? If you prune from the stem base, you must prune some side branches and even some redundant diseased branches in time, and remove some old branches in time, so that the main branches can be reborn and more new branches can grow. In order to cultivate new branches, it is necessary to take a stronger branch as the main branch, and then remove all the leaf buds on the branch. Only after pruning can eggplant have more nutrients to absorb and promote the better growth of eggplant branches and leaves. How to prune eggplant bears more fruits? The pruning of eggplant is mainly concentrated in the attenuation period of harvest. After the eggplant grows, the branches on the eggplant seedlings will have withered marks, and even there will be no fruit in some places. At this time, we can prune those branches. If the season is normal, the eggplant can be pruned in seven or eight months. If it is out of season, you can also use the growth of plants to judge when it can be pruned.
