Eggplant has a long growth cycle. If the distribution of branches between plants is not properly adjusted, it may cause mutual shading, affect light and ventilation, and thus reduce yield. Therefore, timely and reasonable pruning and pruning is one of the effective ways to increase eggplant yield. This method is low-cost but has significant benefits. Let’s learn together a method of pruning eggplant for high yield. 1. Pruning methods 1. Single-pole pruning This method is suitable for plots with high planting density, early-maturing varieties, and areas where it is desired to market early. When branching eggplants, choose a strong branch to keep and remove weaker branches to ensure that the eggplant always maintains a single fruiting branch during its growth. Alternatively, all side branches below the gate eggplant can be removed, leaving only the main stem as the fruiting branch. After the first side branch bears fruit, pinch off the top of the branch while leaving 2 to 3 leaves. 2. Double-pole pruning method From the moment the eggplant first branches out, the two branches always grow synchronously, similar to a phoenix spreading its wings. This method is suitable for greenhouse cultivation or fertile soil and helps to achieve high yields. After the eggplants grow, keep the fruits on the main stem and side branches. When the eggplants appear, choose a strong branch in the right position as the fruiting branch, remove other buds, and then repeat the cycle. 2. Remove old leaves After the eggplant is harvested, the old, yellow and diseased leaves at the bottom of the plant should be removed to improve the ventilation and light conditions at the bottom of the plant and reduce the occurrence and spread of diseases and pests. Leaf picking should be done in stages and should not be completed all at once. Usually, leaves are not picked before the main branches bear fruit; fewer leaves should be picked under weak growth and drought conditions, and at least two leaves should be retained under the fruit. In short, during the flowering period of eggplant, soil moisture should be kept moderate and avoid excessive moisture, as this may cause root rot and affect the fruiting rate of eggplant. Using correct pruning and leaf cutting techniques can significantly improve the yield and quality of eggplant, thus bringing considerable economic benefits to growers.
