Eggplant Maintenance & Solutions

Hello, I have a Black Beauty eggplant in a 6 gallon container and up until now it's been doing well. A couple of weeks ago I had a bout with some flea beetles but i believe they are gone, and since have had lots of flowers which resulted in 5 eggplant fruits. However, I want to make sure I can maintain this plant properly, since some of the eggplants seem to fall off prematurely and am concerned. Flowers are falling too. It appears the plant is root-bound, and the lower leaves are yellowing. The upper leaves are a lighter shade of green too. There is new growth at the top, which is good, but I want to make sure I can get the most out of it until fruits mature. For instance, am I overwatering? I recently gave it some Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 too. The pic explains better. Tks
