Zucchini suicide

The Zucchini got 6-7 cm. long and is now starting to rot.

The sweet little Zucchini got 6-7 cm. long, before it started to rot yesterday. From the info I can find, this should be because the female flower, has not got enough pollen grains from mail flowers to be fully pollinated. This makes the plant loose the fruit, that will not contain seeds, before it uses too much power growing it.

While easy to grow, zucchini, like all squash, requires plentiful bees for pollination. In areas of pollinator decline or high pesticide use, such as mosquito-spray districts, gardeners often experience fruit abortion, where the fruit begins to grow, then dries or rots. This is due to an insufficient number of pollen grains delivered to the female flower. It can be corrected by hand pollination or by increasing the bee population.

It's not at big problem, that I have to do the pollination myself - I can do that. The sad part is, that this probably means that the ecosystem out here in the paddyfields is in a bad state or maybe even completely destroyed by the farmers use of alarming amounts of pesticides.
