Cowpea does not bloom mainly because of insufficient fertilizer and water, or because the temperature is too high or too low. Generally, if cowpeas want to bloom quickly, they can apply more urea when growing, which can promote cowpeas to bloom. In addition, it is best to fertilize on cloudy days, when cowpea absorbs quickly.
Causes and treatment of cowpea not flowering
Cowpea blooms from May to August, usually about 10 days, and it will bloom in about 100 days after maintenance. The color is generally purple-white, but many people will not bloom after maintaining cowpeas. So what is the reason? How to deal with such a situation?
1, fertilizer and water
Cowpea has a great demand for fertilizer and water. If there is not enough fertilizer and water, it will probably lead to no flowering. However, excessive fertilization at flowering stage will lead to long branches and leaves and insufficient nutrition at flowering stage. Therefore, it is necessary to properly adjust the fertilizer and water to balance the nutritional growth and reproductive growth of cowpea, so that it will not bloom prematurely.
2. Temperature
Cowpea is resistant to heat and cold. Cowpea will appear premature aging or delayed flower bud differentiation when the temperature is too high or too low, so attention should be paid to adjusting the temperature to promote its normal growth.
Cowpea only has long leaves and does not bloom.
Cowpea generally only grows leaves and does not bloom, probably because it is not suitable for watering when it grows. Generally, excessive watering in the early stage will lead to long branches and leaves, but they will not bloom when they bloom. Therefore, although there is water shortage, it is necessary to control the amount of watering to prevent them from only growing leaves and not flowering.
