    Pumpkins without male flowers are pollinated as follows:

    In the case that the female pumpkin flowers are in full bloom but there is no male pollination, you can borrow someone else's male pumpkin flowers to pollinate the female flowers, or cut off the male flowers when the male flowers are not fully blooming, find a utensil to seal and preserve, and wait until the female flowers open before pollination. Pumpkins do not bear fruit without pollination, and even if the female flowers grow small melons, they will slowly fall off after a while.

    Manual pollination is required when there are fewer insects, such as bees or butterflies that can help with pollination. If it is not pollinated artificially, even if the female flowers have already produced small melons, they will slowly wither. The pollination time of pumpkin should be around 6-8 o'clock in sunny weather, and the pollination time is too late to reduce the activity of the flowers, and the success rate of pollination will also be reduced.

    Female flowers bloom first and then male flowers, which can be sprayed.

    Let's wait until it's open before pollinating! Chemical staining is a hormone big.

    Because pumpkins are basically male flowers that bloom first, and then female flowers. And in general, it is a female pumpkin flower.

    There are more than males, which is also convenient for pumpkin flower pollination. Of course, if the planting time is not right, there will be the situation that the subject said: only male flowers will appear, or only female flowers will appear.

    This is because the requirements of the female and male flowers of pumpkin are different from the external environment. Pumpkin flowers like males have lower temperature requirements and require longer hours of sunlight. Females, on the other hand, require higher temperatures and shorter daylight hours.

    If the planting time is not right, such as sowing too early, when the male flowers of the pumpkin bloom, but the temperature is not high enough, this will also cause the female flowers to bloom late. As a result, the pumpkin only blooms but does not bear fruit.

    Of course, if the fertilizer is not applied properly, the excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer will cause the pumpkin to grow vigorously, and the branches and leaves will be too lush, which will affect the ventilation and light transmission of the pumpkin, so that only male flowers may appear. Therefore, it is also necessary to reasonably control water and fertilizer, and prune it in time. If the pumpkin fertilization is also reasonable, and the branches are not vigorous, just because of the temperature, resulting in the situation that it only blooms, then there is no need to worry too much, as long as the temperature is adjusted, and when the temperature rises, the pumpkin is suitable for flowering, and it will naturally bloom!

    If you want to improve fruit set, you can do a human-assisted pollination. It is to directly pluck the male flower, buckle it on the female flower, and shake the pollen on the male and female flowers to let them complete pollination.

    There is no such thing as a "male pumpkin" in the world.

    The pistils and stamens of pumpkins do not grow in the same flower, and the flowers on the branches are male and female.

    In appearance, the female and male flowers look about the same;

    But it's different inside.

    The female flower has an ovary that grows into a large pumpkin and a stigma that receives pollen, and the male flower has filaments, anthers, and pollen inside.

    Only when the pollen from the male flower is imparted to the stigma of the female flower can the female flower give birth to the fruit ——— pumpkin.

    Why are most of the flowers that bloom in early summer male? Because the male and female flowers of pumpkins have different requirements for the outside world.

    Male flowers prefer cooler temperatures and longer sunshine hours than female flowers, and the climate in early summer is suitable for male flowers and less suitable for female flowers.

    Also, when we plant melons late in the season, when it is time to flower, the melon seedlings are not fully mature, and it is very likely that only male flowers will bloom;

    The soil is not fertile, there is a lack of nitrogen fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, etc., and only male flowers are seen on the melon vines.

    What to do if a pumpkin only has female flowers? Why are there no male flowers?

    Hello dear, pumpkin only has female flowers that can guide parthenogenesis. The absence of male flowers is a loss of fiber, because the first is the variety problem; Second, the low temperature climate in spring is conducive to the differentiation of female flowers. Can guide parthenogenesis.

    It is a plant strong growth hormone, which is mainly used in the case of underdeveloped male flowers, little pollen, or even no male flowers. The plant has no male flowers and can be sprayed before the female flowers are opened, and the sitting-melon spirit is sprayed to guide its wisdom to take unisexual fruit.

    1. Spraying agent: spraying fruit setting elixir for pumpkin female flowers when they have not yet opened. 2. Artificial pollination:

    Pumpkins are hand-pollinated between 6-9 a.m. on a sunny day. 3. Precautions: The corolla of the female pumpkin flower is covered with a bag the day before pollination.

    4. Post-maintenance: After the pumpkin is manually pollinated, the temperature should be controlled between 18-25 degrees.

    1. Spray the agent

    How does the pumpkin have no male flowers, it is necessary to spray the fruit setting agent for it when the female flowers have not yet opened, so as to guide the plants to be parthenogenesis, and the spraying of the drug should be carried out in strict accordance with the instructions, so as to avoid excessive drug concentration and deformed melon.

    2. Artificial pollination:

    When the pumpkin has no male flowers, it can be assisted by artificial pollination, which is between 6 and 9 o'clock in the morning, and the male flowers on other pumpkin plants are plucked, and then the pollen is applied to the female flower stigma.

    3. Precautions

    After pollinating pumpkins, if there is continuous rainy weather and it is necessary to re-pollinate after the rain stops, it is recommended to cover the corolla of the female flower with a bag the day before pollination, and then uncover it after the weather is sunny to avoid being washed away by the rain.

    4. Later maintenance

    Pumpkin is a monoecious crop, usually can rely on seals or other insects for pollination, after artificial pollination, the temperature should be controlled between 18-25 degrees, so as not to reduce the success rate of pollination.

    If it is the first melon seat fruit, the first female flower before opening belongs to the natural thinning fruit, it can not be equal to your male flowers, even if it can bloom and pollinate, it is very likely to shrink away. This is a matter of autologous distribution of nutrients, with priority given to the pollinators and the early.

    If it is the first withering, it is caused by too much water and fertilizer, and the overnutrition leads to growth, indicating that the melon will grow larger and fuller after a period of time.

    Hello dear<> glad to answer for you. Pumpkin planting only produces female flowers and not male flowers, because pumpkin plants will produce male flowers first, and then female flowers. The male flower has a columella under the calyx, but does not have an ovary and does not bear fruit, whereas the female flower has an ovary and can produce pumpkin fruits.

    Therefore, if only female flowers and no male flowers are produced in the pumpkin, there will be no pollination and fruiting process, and the pumpkin fruit will not be obtained in the end. Generally speaking, pumpkin plants will first produce male flowers and then female flowers, and in the process insects such as bees are required to pollinate the pollen along the flower column into the ovary, and finally produce pumpkin fruits. If the pumpkin only produces female flowers and not male flowers, it may be due to unsuitable environmental conditions, such as problems in temperature, humidity, light, etc., or it may be due to factors such as insect pests that affect the normal opening and pollination process of the flowers.

    If you want the pumpkin to be fruitful, you can take the following measures:1Provide suitable environmental conditions, such as maintaining the right temperature, humidity and light.

    2.Grow lemon balm flowers or other flowers that attract insects such as bees to pumpkin flowers for pollination. 3.

    Pay attention to pest control to avoid damage to pumpkin flowers and affect pollination and seed setting. 4.Pollination can be done manually, and the pollen of the male flowers is taken out and applied to the flower column of the female flowers to promote the fruiting of the pumpkin.
