Zucchini cultivation is mainly on the light, temperature, water and fertilization management, as long as these aspects of proper management, generally can achieve better economic benefits. Here we understand the zucchini planting method, to understand the technical points of zucchini cultivation and management.

1, zucchini temperature management methods

The optimal temperature for germination of zucchini seeds is 25-30 ℃, less than 13 ℃ is not easy to germinate, higher than 35 ℃ is issued by the buds are very weak, it is not easy to grow into a strong seedling;

The optimal temperature of the flowering period of the melons is 22-25 ℃, less than 15 ℃, fertilization is poor, not easy to sit on the melon, or easy to deformed melon. Below 10 ℃, then stop growing, 30 ℃ or more, the flower can not be normal growth and development, but also susceptible to infection with viral diseases;

Melon development and expansion of the optimal temperature is 22 -30 ℃. Root growth requirements of the ground temperature should be a minimum of 12 ℃ or more, below 12 ℃ root development retardation or non-development, and will even be damaged.

2, zucchini light management technology

The length of the light time has a great impact on the growth and development of zucchini:

In the seedling period, 8-10 hours of light time per day (short sun) is conducive to zucchini early differentiation of female flowers and early development; but not the shorter the shorter the light time the better, if the light time is less than 7 hours per day, the seedling will be poor growth.

In the flowering of zucchini, it is important to have the right light.

During the flowering and fruiting period, a longer period of light (e.g., 11 hours per day) is very favorable for flowering and fruiting. In addition, a longer period of light per day can also compensate for the adverse effects of insufficient light intensity on the growth of zucchini.

Therefore, when cultivating zucchini in the solar greenhouse, often require as early as possible to uncover the evening cover grass thatch and other covers to extend the light time.

3, zucchini watering management points

Zucchini root system is more developed, has a strong ability to absorb water and drought resistance. But because the leaves of the zucchini are also larger, the water dissipated through the leaves is also more, so its drought resistance is also relative.

Zucchini prefers moist soil and dry air, and is especially suited to cultivation in dry areas with watering conditions.

The melon should not be too much water in the early stage, too much water is easy to cause futile growth (crazy seedling), affecting the sitting melon. Melon expansion period of high water demand, should be timely watering.

If it is cultivated in the protected area, watering should be ventilated in time to remove moisture and reduce air humidity, otherwise, it is very easy to cause disease.

4, planting zucchini to fertilize more

Zucchini in the pre-growth period requires less fertilizer, mainly in the melon into the period after the need for fertilizer is greater, and the demand for potash increased significantly. Therefore, fertilization, the base fertilizer should be mainly farmyard manure, with a small amount of compound fertilizer;

pre-flowering, according to plant growth, a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer can be applied;

into the melon period, to regularly apply nitrogen fertilizer, to melon in the mid-to-late stage should also pay attention to the application of potash fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer, if necessary, can be used through the way of foliar spraying of potash fertilizer, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate.
