Eggplant has strong branching ability and is a pseudo-dichotomous branch. The fruits on the main stem are called "menqie", the fruits on the first-level lateral branches are called "double eggplants", and the fruits on the second-level lateral branches are called "double eggplants". "Four Mother Buckets", the fruits of the third-level side branches are called "Eight-faced Wind", and the fruits of subsequent side branches are called "Gypsophila". Generally, branches are pruned with two branches. When the first branch is forked, both branches are left, and one branch is strong. Once it is weak, the effect is not particularly obvious at this time. When it bifurcates for the second time, only one strong branch will be left and the weak branch will be knocked out. If the environment is suitable, each leaf bud can grow into a side branch, and it can also bloom and bear fruit. If the branches are allowed to grow naturally, it will inevitably cause clusters of branches and leaves. In addition, eggplant branches more often, but except for the first 1-3 branches are relatively regular.

If the eggplant is not pruned, it will grow with door eggplant, double eggplant, four-door eggplant, and eight-sided wind. In the past, pruning started after the four-door eggplant sat down, which was called four-gan pruning. However, This pruning method is more troublesome. One eggplant needs to be tied with four ropes for hanging. The work of eggplant planting: First of all, eggplant planting must pave the way for pruning. Because the main branches of eggplant will grow vigorously after pruning, a relatively wide field must be selected. The width of the field should be about 2m and the depth of the field should be about 0.3m. When planting eggplant, , the pruning of each eggplant is relatively simple. Generally, we don’t prune the kind that is grown by ourselves in the open field. Eggplants grown in greenhouses that need to increase their yield need to be pruned. During pruning, they should also be handled flexibly according to different varieties, as explained below. There are two methods of eggplant pruning: single pole pruning and double pole pruning. Single-pole pruning means retaining one fruit-bearing branch. According to my planting experience, double pole pruning is often used. The so-called double-pole pruning is to retain two growing and fruiting branches and remove the remaining weak branches. In this way, the eggplant will grow strongly and continue to produce fruits. Side branches are prone to occur and the branches and leaves are lush, which will cause the plant to be too dense, especially when the temperature is suitable. , when there is sufficient fertilizer. As the eggplant plant grows, its side branches become more numerous, and the nutrient transport pathways also become longer, causing knots.
