Flower Drop in Pomegranate – Causes, Organic Fixes & Farm Tech Boost
🌼 What is Flower Drop?
Flower drop is a frustrating issue for pomegranate growers. Even after good flowering, many flowers fall off before fruit sets, leading to low yield and farmer disappointment.

❌ Why Does Flower Drop Happen?
Cause | Description |
Water Stress | Drought or inconsistent watering during flowering causes shock. |
Nutrient Deficiency | Lack of boron and potassium weakens flower retention. |
High Temperature | Above 35°C during flowering can trigger premature flower drop. |
Insect Damage | Thrips or borers damage developing buds. |
Hormonal Imbalance | Too much vegetative growth due to excess nitrogen can reduce fruit setting hormones. |
🌿 Organic Remedies for Flower Drop
✅ 1. Irrigation Management
Use drip irrigation daily during flowering and early fruit set.
Avoid flood irrigation or irregular watering.
✅ 2. Organic Foliar Sprays
Panchagavya (3%) spray once every 10 days during flowering
Banana pseudostem extract or cow dung slurry improves potassium uptake
✅ 3. Boron & Potassium Supplement
Foliar spray of 0.2% Borax at flower initiation
Use wood ash or vermicompost leachate as a natural potassium booster
