Planting techniques of wax gourd
First, the choice of melon land
The root group of wax gourd is developed, and the requirements for soil are not too strict. In order to achieve high yield of wax gourd, it is advisable to choose sunny, well-drained, deep soil layer and rich in
Organic sandy loam is better.
Second, sowing and seedling raising
1, seed treatment: wax gourd seeds are not easy to absorb water because of their thick seed coat, so they should be soaked to accelerate germination and disinfected before sowing. Use guakening 300
Soak the seeds in double solution for 20 minutes to prevent seedling blight and damping-off disease. The sterilized seeds are washed with clear water, soaked for 5-6 hours, and fished out.
For accelerating germination, the optimum temperature for accelerating germination is 30℃.
2. Transplanting and planting: when the seedlings grow 2-3 true leaves and the seedling age is 20-30 days, they can be transplanted and planted. The border is 2 meters wide and 0.5 meters deep. Spring plant spacing
To be reasonable, about 0.8 meters, about 400 plants per mu.
Third, fertilizer and water management
1, apply sufficient base fertilizer: when the base fertilizer is prepared, it will be buried in the middle of the border. Apply about 2000 kilograms of organic fertilizer and 50 grams of calcium superphosphate per mu.
Jin.
2. Apply fertilizer skillfully: when the seedlings grow 5-6 true leaves, apply compound fertilizer with three elements (n, p and k each 15%)10/5 kg and urea 8- 10.
Kilogram. Promote vine stretching and increase plant nutrient accumulation. * * * Control fertilizer and water after a female flower opens, so as to prevent excessive growth, which is beneficial to keeping flowers and bearing fruit.
3. Re-apply Zhuanggua fertilizer: Strengthen fertilizer and water management when the fruit grows to 3-4 kg. Three-element compound fertilizer15-20kg, urea10-12kg was applied per mu.
Jin, potassium chloride 8- 10 kg. Apply once every 10- 15 days for 4-5 consecutive times. Winter melon needs a lot of water to grow, so it should be irrigated in time in the morning.
Irrigation to half the height of the border, drainage after the border is completely wet, keep the soil moist, and pay attention to drain water during the rain period.
Fourth, scaffolding and pruning
After planting, when the height of the seedlings is 50-60 cm, the vines will be set up. The frame is 60-70 cm high. Remove all lateral vines before fruit setting until the fruit weighs 3-4 kg.
Leave 2-3 lateral vines.
5. Selecting and retaining young melons
The size of wax gourd is related to the node position of melon. When keeping melons, choose and keep them in the internodes where the vines grow thick, and generally choose and keep 3 in the internodes from 20 to 25.
A shiny young melon with the same size on the upper and lower parts and covered with fuzz. When the diameter of the melon reaches 10- 12 cm after sitting, remove the prepared melon, one vine.
Leave a melon.
