1, cold storage method: put wax gourd in refrigerator or cold storage for emotional storage. Storage temperature of wax gourd: 10- 15C, relative humidity: 70%~85%, freezing point: -9C, chilling injury temperature:
2. Field storage method: mat each immature wax gourd with straw or straw, and then cover it with wheat or hay. In this process, pay attention to avoid direct sunlight and prevent decay due to excessive tides. In this way, wax gourd can be harvested at low temperature in winter.
3. Pit storage method: select a cool, ventilated and dry ground guest or warehouse, after full disinfection, place aerial objects such as wood on the ground, then spread soft and breathable materials such as grass on it, and put wax gourd on it. The humidity should not be too high at room temperature. If the temperature is too high, turn on the exhaust fan or air conditioner to cool down and avoid the warehouse from direct sunlight.
Growing environment of wax gourd
1, temperature: wax gourd likes temperature and is heat-resistant. The optimum temperature for growth and development is 25-30℃, the optimum temperature for seed germination is 28-30℃, and the lowest temperature for root growth is 12- 16℃, which are higher than other melons and vegetables. The suitable temperature for pollination and fruit setting is about 25℃, and below 20℃ is not conducive to fruit development.
2. Rizhao: Wax gourd is a short-term crop. Short sunshine and low temperature are beneficial to flower bud differentiation, but long sunshine and sufficient illumination are needed during the whole growth period. In case of long-term rainy and low temperature in fruit period, flowers will fall, melons will melt and rotten.
3. Nutritional components: wax gourd has a long growth period. Both the vegetative growth of plants and the growth and development of fruits need enough soil nutrients, and more fertilizers must be applied. Fertilization is mainly based on nitrogen fertilizer, and appropriate application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can enhance the stress resistance of plants and increase the yield of single fruit seeds.
