Gardenia to the flowering period does not blossom, if caused by improper fertilization, can pay attention to fertilization before flowering, reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizer, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. If the soil is not suitable, it is necessary to provide suitable soil for growth. If it is caused by insufficient light, it can be placed in a good place to raise and supplement the sunshine. If it is caused by too much watering, it is necessary to water reasonably to promote the discharge of excess water. If it is caused by improper pruning, it can be pruned reasonably to reduce nutrient consumption.

1. Pollination in Nature

It is self-pollinating, pollinated by wind or insects in nature.After flowering, the stamens will emit pollen, and the pollen driven by the wind will fall from the stamens to the pistils, so that pollination can be successful.Insect pollination is also helpful, and is carried out by insects such as bees.They will crawl on the stamens or pistils, which will spread pollen.If the greenhouse cultivation of tomatoes, you can use this method.A large number of bees are released in the greenhouse to help pollinate and improve fruit setting rate.

2. Pollination Methods in Production

1, artificial pollination: artificial pollination is more common, after it blossoms stamens will emit pollen.At this time, you can use a brush or brush to dip pollen on the stamens, and then smear it on the pistils, so that pollination can be successful.Note that it is best to choose a sunny day when the effect will be better.

2. Use a vibrator: If the vibrator is in contact with the tomato, it will cause the tomato to vibrate, so that the pollen on the stamens will fall down, thus ensuring pollination, so that the fruit setting rate is relatively high.

3. Hormone spot: One of the most common methods used in production is to use anti-drop hormone, which can be smeared or soaked in the flower organ, so as to avoid early shedding in the flowering period, thus improving the pollination rate.2, 4-D can also be used, pay attention to the height of the use, not too high, otherwise it is easy to produce drug damage.
