What's the matter with fig falling fruit?

Friends' figs have begun to bear fruit, but you may find that some fruits have begun to fall before they swell. What's going on? How to deal with it? Let me briefly talk about my views and exchange them with my friends.

First, pay attention to rational fertilization after fig fruit.

Fig is a kind of fruit tree that likes to fertilize, whether it is planted in the ground or potted. If the fruit does not drop and expands as soon as possible, it is necessary to pay attention to fertilization. After the fruit bears, the fertilization should be balanced, and no nitrogen fertilizer can be applied, otherwise the fig tree will grow too fast and lead to fruit drop.

At this time, figs need more phosphorus, potassium and calcium fertilizers. Some decomposed organic fertilizers can be used to mix phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and a little calcium fertilizer can meet the needs. After the fruit is set, it can be fertilized more to meet the growth needs of the fruit.

Second, we should pay attention to proper water control.

Figs are very sensitive to water after they bear fruit. When the water content is slightly higher, it may grow vigorously, leading to fruit drop. If water accumulates, it is even more undesirable. At this time, the root system will be soaked and rotted, which will not only drop fruit, but also affect the growth and even lead to the death of fig plants.

Therefore, it is best to keep the soil moist and loose when watering normally. When the rain increases in summer, flowerpots or ground planting places should pay attention to drainage.

Third, we should trim and select the heart properly.

Pay attention to the reasonable pruning of figs before germination in spring. Before germination, you can cut off diseased branches and weak branches, and pay attention to cutting off too many main branches. Generally, we only need to keep four or five main branches, and don't leave too many side branches on each main branch.

After fruiting, attention should be paid to properly coring and picking some old leaves in time in summer, which can be beneficial to the concentration of nutrients, the fruiting of figs and the reduction of fruit drop.

Fourth, control pests and diseases.

In order to prevent figs from falling, it is recommended that you do a good job in pest control. Although figs are sweet, they are very easy to attract some red spiders and boring bugs.

For Starscream, attention should be paid to maintaining the ventilation environment of figs, especially indoor maintenance. The red spider of fig is very rampant in dry and unventilated places, so we should also pay attention to spraying some water on fig to increase the air humidity, which will reduce the occurrence of red spider. If the prevention fails, it is suggested to spray some drugs such as pyridaben evenly and water the soil to prevent the eggs from regenerating.
