Troubleshooting Eggplant Flower Drop and Fruit Failure

Key Requirements

• Warm evenings; plants shut down if too cool.
• Water ~1 inch/week if no rain.
• Self-pollinating; wind shake usually sufficient.
• Fertilize with tomato fertilizer or composted manure.

Temperature Effects

Production drops below 65°F (18°C) nights; stops below 55°F (13°C). Hot days (90-100°F) are fine if nights stay warm.

Diagnosis

Likely nutrient deficiency or cool nights. Provide variety name and local temps for more specific advice.
