Management of pomegranate flowers during fruiting period

Pomegranate fruiting period

The pomegranate flower fruiting period is from September to October, and it will produce many large fruits. In order to increase the fruit setting rate of pomegranate flowers, fruiting period management is required.

Management of pomegranate flowers during fruiting period

Just like flowering, the fruiting of pomegranate flowers also requires the consumption of a large amount of nutrients, so water and fertilizer management during the growth period must not be neglected. Fertilization should be mainly thin and frequent, and watering should be based on the growth conditions of the plants. In addition, you also need to pay attention to weather conditions to decide whether watering is needed.

During the pomegranate fruiting period, the main task is to thin the fruits. For pomegranate flowers that have already set fruit, fruit thinning is necessary, because the flowering of pomegranate flowers is divided into three stages. Those that bloom and set fruit in the middle and early stages should generally be retained. Even if the fruit set rate is low, try not to thin the fruit. Late flowers generally produce small fruits, but if the quality of the mid- and early-stage flowers is poor, it is necessary to retain the late fruits with better quality and thin out the rest. In fact, it is what people say, keep the first fruit and secondary fruit, and try not to keep tertiary fruit. Please note that if the fruits are infected with diseases or have poor growth, they should also be thinned out.

How to increase the fruit setting rate of pomegranate flowers

During the flowering period of pomegranate flowers, some measures can be taken to ensure that the pomegranate flowers can bear better fruits. The first thing is to carry out artificial pollination, pollinate the flowers of different plants, so that the fruit set rate will be higher. When pollinating, you can use a brush to apply pollen and gently apply it on the blooming pomegranate flowers.

During the flowering period of pomegranate flowers, in order to increase the fruit setting rate of pomegranate flowers, you can also spray some gibberellins or borax solution, naphthaleneacetic acid solution, etc. to promote fruit setting. You can also take the ring peeling method to block the nutrients from loosening downwards and increase the fruit setting rate of the pomegranate flowers.
