Seed is the internal factor of high yield of crops. The standard of seed melon for fingered citron is: a melon with uniform size, characteristics of this variety, consistent maturity, handle, no deformity, no disability, no freezing and no diseases and insect pests. In colder regions, if the seedlings sown in autumn are small and the roots are weak, it is not easy to overwinter safely, so it is suitable to sow in March-April in spring. Generally, in the third year after sowing, it enters the peak harvest period. If cultivated properly, it can be harvested continuously for 1~2 years. Grow in summer and harvest in autumn. Its plant type is very large, and its yield is very high. Under normal circumstances, a fingered citron can bear about 5 melons, each weighing at least half a catty. There are few pests and diseases. From this perspective alone, it is a particularly easy vegetable to grow.

We need to pay attention to the application of farmyard manure, and then we need to dig deeply and turn over the soil, so as to make the soil more fertile and meet the nutritional needs of plants. Of course, we need to build small ditches in the farmland, so that the drainage performance will be better. Chaenomeles likes humidity, and grows slowly in June, so it needs to be watered with small water. Chaenomeles is not strict with soil, and neutral sandy soil, loam and clay loam with deep, loose soil layer, good drainage, rich organic matter and good permeability are the most suitable for planting Chaenomeles.

Generally speaking, Chaenomeles prefers warmth, and is neither resistant to high temperature nor cold. If the temperature is lower than degrees, it will definitely freeze to death. There is also a great demand for water, especially in the high temperature season in July and August. After the second year, new buds sprout from perennial roots, with early and many branches, early and many female flowers, early harvest, long harvest period, rich fruits and high yield. Fingered citron has developed root system and strong absorption, which is both barren and fertilizer-tolerant.

But everyone should control the temperature rationally. If the temperature is too high, it will burn the bergamot. For example, if the temperature is higher than 3 degrees, it is easy to burn seedlings, and the temperature above 3 degrees will inhibit the further growth of bergamot. Fingered citron can only be cultivated as an annual in temperate regions, and the whole melon must be sown and raised. In the south, the fingered citron is stored in the cellar, and naturally emerges around Qingming in the following year, and then the well-planted seeds are directly planted.
