The most suitable growth temperature for egg fruit is 20°C to 30°C. It generally grows well at temperatures not lower than 0°C. The plant will be severely damaged or even die at -2°C. The average annual temperature is 18 Areas with temperatures above ℃ are most suitable for planting and are easy to obtain high yields. Therefore, it is widely distributed in the warm and humid areas of southern China, especially Hainan.

Egg fruit

As a tropical fruit, egg fruit likes full sunlight to promote branch growth and nutrient accumulation. Long daylight conditions are conducive to the flowering of egg fruits. In areas with 2300 to 2800 hours of annual sunshine, egg fruits grow well, accumulate more nutrients, grow branches and vines quickly, bear early, and have high yields. The most suitable growth temperature is 20°C to 30°C. Generally, the plant will grow well at temperatures not lower than 0°C. At -2°C, the plant will be severely damaged or even die.

Egg fruit

Generally, egg fruit grows best when the annual rainfall is between 1500 and 2000 mm and is evenly distributed. However, in commercial development planting areas, it should not be less than 1 000 mm. Egg fruits are more drought tolerant, but in the event of drought, irrigation is still needed. If the soil is too dry, it will affect the development of vines and fruits. In severe cases, the branches will appear withered, the fruits will not develop and fruit drop will occur. During the rainy season, pay attention to drainage. Egg fruit is highly adaptable and has low soil requirements. However, the loam soil layer for large-scale production should be at least 0.5 meters, and the soil is fertile, loose, and well-drained. The soil pH value is 5.5 to 6.5.

Egg fruit

Egg fruit is not tolerant to severe cold, and the most suitable temperature is 20-30℃. If the temperature is too low, it will affect the growth of the plants. When the temperature reaches -2℃, the plants will be severely damaged or even die. Egg fruit is intolerant of drought and afraid of waterlogging. Water should be watered in time during the dry period, and water should be drained in time when water accumulates. Especially during the fruit-bearing period, the plant needs a lot of water and must be kept adequately hydrated.

Egg fruit

The main diseases of egg fruit are damping-off and blight. They will harm the roots, stems and leaves of egg fruits, resulting in low fruit yield and poor quality, and in severe cases, plant death. If the disease is discovered, diseased leaves and branches can be removed and burned immediately, and fungicides can be sprayed for prevention and control. The main insect pests of egg fruits are leafminers and thrips, which will harm the young branches and affect the flowering period and fruit yield and quality. You can spray 90% trichlorfon 800-1000 times 1-2 times to effectively control the damage.
