Eggplant is a commonly eaten vegetable with a delicious taste and is very popular among people. It is a common fruit in the market. What is the cause of fruit cracking during eggplant cultivation? How to prevent and control eggplant cracking?
The Causes of Eggplant Fruit Cracking
Eggplant cracking is mainly caused by improper use of growth regulators by growers. Excessive or frequent use of growth regulators can easily lead to cracking in eggplants. When overused, there is excess nutrition in the fruit, leading to a linear increase in the ovary at the base of the eggplant fruit, leading to fruit cracking. And if regulators are used before flowering, the phenomenon of fruit cracking is also very common. Under natural pollination conditions, eggplants rarely experience fruit cracking.
Prevention and control of eggplant cracking
When spraying growth regulators, it is necessary to pay attention to the dosage and choose the variety of growth regulators. It is best to choose the ones that mainly protect flowers and fruits, which can effectively reduce fruit cracking. And when spraying growth regulators, they should be labeled to prevent repeated spraying. Then, it is necessary to control the temperature changes well to prevent the temperature from being too high or too low. When the greenhouse is too dry, it should be watered in a timely manner, and there should be sufficient humidity during management to reduce all factors that can cause eggplant cracking.
