How to Increase Flowering in Brinjal Crop
Flowering is the most critical stage in the brinjal (eggplant) crop as it directly decides yield. Many farmers face problems like less flowering and flower drop even after using fertilizers and pesticides. The main reason lies in unbalanced nutrition and stress on the crop.

Common Reasons for Poor Flowering in Brinjal

• Excess nitrogen leads to leafy growth instead of flowering.

• Low phosphorus and potassium delay flower initiation.

• Micronutrient deficiency (especially boron and zinc) reduces pollen activity.

• Water or temperature stress causes flower drop.

Tips to Increase Flowering in Brinjal

1. Balance fertilization: Reduce nitrogen after 40 days and increase P & K-based fertilizers.

2. Micronutrient spray: Foliar spray of boron (0.2%) and zinc (0.5%) improves flower formation.

3. Proper irrigation: Maintain uniform soil moisture to avoid stress.

4. Use biostimulants: Apply formulations containing available phosphorus, amino acids, and natural growth promoters during the pre-flowering stage.
