Zucchini planting methods range from choosing the soil, germination treatment, and sowing and planting. Planting time is spring and fall every year.

1, zucchini planting method

Selection of soil: zucchini needs to be planted in the appropriate soil, so choose a soil rich in trace elements and well-drained, you can use humus or sandy loam with a lot of organic matter, and you need to loosen the soil regularly after planting.

Germination treatment: zucchini in the planting before the need for seed germination treatment, first of all, to select the full grain, disease-free seeds, and then soak them in warm water, after the seed coat rises, use a wet towel wrapped, placed in a cool environment to germinate.

Sowing and planting: zucchini seeds can be evenly spread in the soil after germination, use fine soil to cover, and spray some carbendazim solution after sowing to avoid bacterial growth.

2, zucchini planting time

Zucchini in the spring and fall can be sown, in the spring time is usually in February-March for sowing, while the fall is planted between August and September, usually in spring planting is the main, because the climate and temperature at that time is the most suitable for the growth of planting is also the highest survival rate.

Zucchini habits

The optimal temperature during the growth period is 20-25 ℃, 15 ℃ below the growth of slow, 8 ℃ below the stop growth. 30 ℃ above the growth of slow and very susceptible to disease. Seed germination temperature for 25-30 ℃, 13 ℃ can germinate, but very slow; 30-35 ℃ germination fastest, but easy to cause the growth. Flowering and fruiting period requires higher temperatures, generally keep 22-25 ℃ best. The minimum temperature for root growth is 6℃, and the minimum temperature for root hair occurrence is 12℃.

Night temperature 8-10 ℃ when fertilized fruit can develop normally. Light intensity requirements moderate, more tolerant of low light, but insufficient light is easy to cause growth. The photoperiod is a short sunlight plant, long sunlight conditions are conducive to the growth of stems and leaves, and short sunlight conditions are earlier in the melon period. Zucchini like wet, intolerant of drought, high temperature and drought conditions are prone to virus disease; but high temperature and high humidity is also easy to cause powdery mildew. The soil requirements are not strict, sandy soil, loamy soil, clay soil can be cultivated, deep loamy soil is easy to get high yield.
