1. Gourd seeds are sown with seeds. Before sowing, they need to be soaked in hot water of 55 degrees for half an hour for germination. Sprinkle the germinated seeds evenly into the soil and cover them with a film to keep them warm and moisturizing.
2. Gourds avoid continuous cropping; gourds do not like clay soil and low-lying plots with poor drainage; gourds prefer sandy soils that are loose, fertile, well-permeable, and rich in organic matter. Before planting, apply enough decomposed farmyard manure as base fertilizer and level the furrows to make ridges.
3. When the seedlings appear with 4 leaves, they can be planted. Provide enough water for planting. Afterwards, cultivating and weeding will be carried out once. Set up supports to facilitate climbing of gourd seedlings.
4. The gourds are generally picked 2-3 times, and the vines must be pressed; each gourd retains two main vines with 6-8 leaves. The main vines and sub-vines can be topping. Gourds are generally pruned and tipped in the morning, artificially pollinated in the evening, and pollination is stopped after the heat.
5. The suitable temperature for the growth of gourds is 25-30℃ during the day and 18-20℃ at night. Do not plant too densely, otherwise poor ventilation will lead to the occurrence of pests and diseases.
6. Before the flowering and fruiting period, apply decomposed manure, organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer once every 5 days; during the fruiting period, topdress manure or compound fertilizer once every half a month, while controlling The concentration of water and fertilizer should be good to prevent melons from turning; watering should be done in the morning or evening after the fruiting period. Use 0.5% urea + 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution for foliar spraying once every 10 days. Topdress once after each harvest, and drain water in time when there is water accumulation.
