Pumpkins used to be grown sporadically in courtyards, in front of houses, behind houses, and on roadsides. In recent years, with the adjustment of planting structures, the scale of planting has continued to expand, and specialty industries have formed in some areas. The crop arrangement is as follows:

(1) Pumpkin cultivation in the open field is the main planting method. Production in the northern region is often arranged from April to August, and it has become one of the varieties of vegetables supplied in the summer and off-season. Spinach or fast-growing and early-maturing leafy vegetables can be sown, and autumn-cropped Chinese cabbage or late-autumn spinach can be inoculated in subsequent crops.

(2) Open field intercropping and intercropping of pumpkins. In order to save land and space, the intercropping method is used, which is beneficial to the growth of two or more crops.

Mode 1: Intercropping pumpkin with spring-sown vegetables and cabbage. Make large and small borders with a width of 80 cm and 150 cm. Plant early-maturing cabbage, lettuce, lettuce, rape, etc. in the large border, and plant pumpkins in the small border.

Mode 2: Interplanting pumpkins and tomatoes. Delay the sowing date of pumpkins appropriately, and then interplant them on one side of the tomato patch. When the tomatoes enter the middle stage of growth, lead the pumpkin vines to the tomato racks, so that the rack materials can be reused.

Mode 3: Intercropping pumpkin and dwarf beans. Make large and small borders with a width of 150 cm and 80 cm. Plant dwarf kidney beans in advance in the large border, and plant pumpkins in the small border. When the pumpkins have spread out, the kidney beans have been planted.

Mode 4: Intercropping pumpkin with peanuts, broad beans, corn, wheat, sorghum and other crops. In this way, grain and vegetable intercropping is achieved.

(3) Pumpkins can be cultivated on trellises in protected areas. Pumpkins can be cultivated on trellises in protected areas such as greenhouses and greenhouses. The main varieties are pumpkins, which can be planted twice a year, generally including spring and autumn. Two differences.
