How to deal with grape flowering and how to artificially pollinate

1. How to deal with it

1. Thinning the inflorescences: Prune the inflorescences when it blooms. Leave only 1-2 inflorescences on the thick fruit branches, and cut off the excess and the long and thin ones. Too many inflorescences will affect the growth of the fruit in the later stage.

2. Spray boron fertilizer: Spray boron fertilizer when the pollen grains are germinating. If there is a lack of boron, it will affect the differentiation of flower buds and the development of pollen will also be affected. Just spray boron fertilizer solution once or twice before flowering, which can increase the fruit setting rate and also increase the yield and quality of the fruit.

3. Control the amount of water: After flowering, you must strictly control the water and do not water frequently, otherwise the soil temperature will drop, which will affect its absorption of nutrients and water, thereby reducing the fruit setting rate. Just add an appropriate amount of water before flowering, and don't water until the soil is dry after the flowers bloom.

2. How to artificial pollinate

Many varieties of grapes do not require artificial pollination and can be pollinated with the help of bees or wind. However, some varieties require human assistance, otherwise the fruit setting rate will be very low. When pollinating, you can shake the male and female buds, and the pollen will fall and spread in the air. Or you can put on gloves and touch the male buds first, and then the female buds. This way, the pollen will stick to the female buds, which will help pollination succeed and increase the fruit setting rate.
