Egg Plant is self pollinating plant, although it can be cross pollinated (5 to 10%) to achieve result from transferring a pollen by insects such as ants and bees. If no result achieved so far last method will be hand pollination. The largest no of flowers open at 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM. After 2 PM flowers becomes close. The number of flower open and close depends on flower age, environment conditions having high or low heat and especially having relative humidity.
How I can achieve the result. As reading the above conditions of Egg Plant. First of all I hope that I will achieve result because just like tomatoes, Egg Plant will be Self Pollinating plant. By following proper care I will achieve the result. At that time hot and sunny weather, day temperature will be 45 Centigrade, all my summer vegetables in container on roof. First of all I will transfer my Egg Plant to shady location on roof. Where only morning sun light from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM required. During hot summer I will use 3 times water to my plant care not to waterlogged because all my vegetables in containers. (Morning time: 6 AM, 4 PM and finally light water at 7:00 PM). After 2 days passed apply folar spray of PK not to drop flowers and especially to achieve relative humidity because hot and humid weather plays a vital role for Egg Plant ripening and stop drying and dropping flowers. I apply following instruction because Egg Plant is self pollinating. For Cross-Pollination I will transfer my Basil plant to Egg Plant, which is at that time having flowers to attract bees help to pollinating Egg Plants flowers. Finally I also try Hand Pollination in morning time but so far I don’t achieve result from Hand Pollination.
