On the other hand, loofah has no strict requirements on soil, and can grow stronger at high temperature. But also resistant to humidity and drought, and there is no strict requirement for light. It can be said that Luffa has simple requirements for the environment. After scientific management, some diluted fertilizers should be applied in time to raise loofah seedlings. During the flowering and fruiting period, loofah should be watered frequently to keep the soil moist. Generally, water is watered once every 7 days, and fertilizer is applied once every 10 days. Generally, compound fertilizer is applied, about 40 kilograms per mu. The temperature is high in summer, and it is usually watered three times a week. When the vines of loofah grow to about 40 cm, put them on the shelves in time, then tie them up, and then remove all the side branches under the first female flower. Fertilizer and water management Luffa needs enough water in the soil. During the whole growth period of Luffa, a moist soil environment should be maintained.
At the initial stage of growth, the loofah should be watered once after the seedling is delayed. Then water every seven days during the flowering and fruiting period. After entering the harvest period, water is poured every 3 days or so. It is not advisable to water in rainy days. Keep watering evenly, not watering. Then, under the condition of applying sufficient base fertilizer, topdressing should be done well, and topdressing should be delayed once after emergence, with compound fertilizer as the main method. Top dressing once a week in the flower and fruit period and once every two seasons in the harvest period. Don't defat during flowering and fruiting, otherwise deformed fruit will easily appear, leading to quality decline. Plant management after planting loofah is also very important, so is plant management after planting loofah. When the towel gourd grows to about 40 cm, it is necessary to hang the rope in time, do a good job of guiding the vines on the shelf, and tie the vines tightly to avoid falling off.
All the lateral vines should be removed before the plants are put on the shelves. Moreover, if the vines grow too dense after being put on the shelves, then we should choose some thicker side vines and remove the rest. During the growth of loofah, all kinds of tendrils and deformed fruits should be removed in time. In the middle and late stage, it is necessary to destroy the yellow leaves of old leaves, improve the permeability of plants and reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases. Post-planting management of artificial insemination of towel gourd In the early stage of planting towel gourd, if the temperature is low and the light intensity is weak, the fruit setting rate of towel gourd will be greatly affected. Therefore, if you encounter such an environment after planting loofah, you should pay attention to artificial pollination, or you can fly bees in the shed and pollinate with bees. This can effectively improve the fruit setting rate and yield of loofah.
