After the beginning of autumn, the weather becomes cold and the growth speed of eggplant slows down. Prune the useless branches of eggplant to reduce the consumption of excess nutrients. After the beginning of autumn, the eggplant can be properly pruned to remove the weak branches. Pruning shall be carried out according to the density of one of every three branches.
During the growth of eggplant, the old leaves and the old branches that do not bloom and bear fruit can be pruned. It is necessary to constantly remove the leaves of eggplant. The leaves are thick and large, which will take a lot of nutrients. The leaves under the eggplant will also change from green to yellow because they cannot receive sunlight for a long time.
Pruning eggplant in time to allow sufficient photosynthesis of the plant can effectively promote the continuous growth of the fruit. Do not remove too many eggplant leaves each time. You can remove two or three pieces at a time. Avoid nutrient loss of eggplant caused by excessive removal, and eggplant will gradually wither and die.
Eggplant should be fertilized in time after pruning to supplement nutrients. The phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied every half a month, which can effectively promote the fruit growth again. Water timely after fertilization to ensure that the soil is in a wet state. Avoid root burning due to high fertilizer concentration.
