Chaenomeles is not particularly resistant, so it is suitable for planting in warmer areas, so it also has certain requirements for soil selection. It is best to choose sandy land with sufficient light, good soil permeability, moderate drainage and water storage capacity and sufficient soil fertility, or neutral land with weak soil viscosity. When preparing soil, we need to spread farmyard manure evenly on the land first, and then dig it deeply, so that nutrients can penetrate into the land and increase the fertility of the soil. The clods prepared for soil should be as fine as possible, and the land should be as flat as possible. Secondly, we need to build a small ditch every 1.5 meters in the field to facilitate drainage and irrigation.

2. Seeding and seedling raising:

Because the growth cycle of fingered citron is relatively long, and the seedling raising period of seeds is relatively long, we need to soak the seeds in warm water for about a minute before sowing, then take them out and put them into the medicine to stir them evenly, then take them out and rinse them with water, and drain the water before sowing. There are two ways to sow seeds. The first is hole sowing, which is carried out in the field at intervals of 40 to 50 cm per row and 30 to 40 cm per plant, and then the seeds are covered with soil. The second way is to cultivate the fingered citron seedlings on the seedbed first, and then wait until the right time, usually around May, when transplanting. The interval of transplanting is the same as that of hole sowing. At the same time, whether it is hole sowing or transplanting, we need to wet the land before planting.

3. Field management:

Proper field management of fingered citron also determines its yield and quality. Generally, it needs to be fertilized at least three times during the whole growth period of fingered citron. Many crops need to be fertilized after planting, but fingered citron can't be fertilized during this period. Just water it, otherwise fingered citron seedlings will wither. When the plant enters the rapid growth period, it needs to be fertilized for the first time. We mainly use urea, and the second fertilization is in the peak season of bergamot flowering. At this time, we need to spray a certain dose of foliar fertilizer, and apply some farm manure to promote the flower and protect the fruit. Finally, after the fruit is successfully located, in order to promote the growth and maturity of bergamot, we can spray a proper amount of boron fertilizer on it.

4, branches and leaves management:

When the chayote grows to 40 cm long, we need to set it up. Although it can crawl and grow directly on the ground, it can not only improve the yield and quality of chayote, but also avoid many pests and diseases. Secondly, we need to cut off some branches and leaves during its growth, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients and improve the success rate of melon planting.
