Papaya, also known as Hayato melon and Shougua, etc. , a kind of cucurbitaceae papaya, is native to Mexico, Central America and the West Indies, and is also cultivated in southern China. Bergamot, as its name implies, is a tweed plant that looks like bergamot. When cooking, you can eat it as fruit, or you can plant it in your yard and watch it. Because bergamot, like the palm of your hand, has Buddhist blessing and beautiful meaning, it is naturally welcomed by people. Papaya is rich in nutrition in melons and vegetables, and regular consumption is beneficial to enhance human disease resistance. Eating bergamot often can induce diuresis and excrete sodium, which can dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure. So, do you want to know how to grow bergamot? Want to enjoy the pictures of bergamot? Today, I will give you a brief introduction to the planting method of papaya and enjoy the pictures of papaya.

Introduction of bergamot

Papaya (scientific name: Sechiumedule), also known as Cucurbitaceae Papaya, was introduced to China in 19 15, and has been planted in southern China, including Yunnan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other places. Fingered citron is crispy and nutritious. Each kilogram of fresh melon contains 5 grams of protein, fat 1 g, 30 grams of cellulose, 77 grams of carbohydrate, 220 mg of vitamin C, 0. 1 mg of riboflavin, 500 mg of calcium, 320 mg of phosphorus and 40 mg of iron. Papaya can be eaten raw after being cooked as fruit. In addition, melons are shaped like palms together, which means Buddhist blessing and are deeply loved by people.

Introduction of planting methods of bergamot

1. Soil preparation: select a yard or field with scaffolding position, ventilation and light transmission, and deep soil layer, apply sufficient base fertilizer, turn it deep and level.

2. Seedling raising: During the period from New Year's Day to Spring Festival, melon seeds will be covered with plastic film. Cover the soil for 2-3 cm. At this time, the soil will keep the field water capacity at about 60-70%. If it is too wet, melon seeds will be moldy. It is advisable to water seedlings without withering, and pay attention to let them see the sun every day to ensure photosynthesis and normal growth. In the early stage of seedling and growth, it is found that there are too many branches in buds or roots, which should be pulled out in time. Generally, 2-3 main vines are left to make the branches flourish after climbing, which is beneficial to fruit setting.

3. Transplanting: At the end of the final frost, you can plant melon seedlings in one piece and apply a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer at the same time to promote the growth of seedlings.

Four, fertilizer and water management: after transplanting, the soil should be warm and moist. Avoid watering too much to avoid affecting the growth of plants. After that, with the increase of temperature, the growth accelerated. When the temperature reaches 20℃, it enters the peak period and the water demand increases. In addition to natural precipitation, we should water it in time. In order to reduce water evaporation, broken straw and wheat straw can be covered around the plant to achieve the purpose of moisture conservation. Topdressing for 2-3 times in the growth period, the first time before the peak period of bergamot, topdressing organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer, topdressing in an annular ditch 30-40 cm away from the plant. The second time should be around the end of the flood season, applying organic fertilizer, compound fertilizer, plant ash, etc. In the ditch 60-70cm away from the plants. When the temperature drops to 20℃, the fertilizer can be applied again according to the growth before budding, which is beneficial to the formation and growth of fruit in the later stage.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Harvest and storage: Generally, fingered citron can be eaten 15 days after flowering and fertilization. When the temperature is stabilized at 15℃, the fingered citron stops growing, then enters the harvest period and is harvested before the first frost. Handle with care when harvesting, wrap them in paper one by one, and when the temperature drops to about 65438 02℃, put them into plastic bags, cartons or other containers and move them indoors for preservation. Generally, in the environment below 10℃, it is advisable not to be damaged by freezing, and it can be placed on May 1 of the following year and taken at will.

Planting technique of bergamot

Soil: Papaya is not strict with soil. Neutral sandy soil, loam and clay loam with deep, loose soil layer, good drainage, rich organic matter and good air permeability are most suitable for planting papaya. For fertilizer requirements, nitrogen should not be too much, so as to avoid excessive growth of stems and leaves and less fruits, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be re-applied in the middle and late stages.

Moisture: There is a great demand for moisture, especially in the high temperature season from July to August. It is necessary to keep the air and soil high in humidity, otherwise the vines will stop growing and the leaves will turn yellow. When the soil moisture is insufficient in the flowering and fruiting period, there will be fewer flowers, more fallen flowers, lower fruit setting rate and smaller melons.

Light: Chaenomeles papaya is a short-day crop. After a certain amount of vegetative growth, it began to breed under the condition of short sunshine in autumn. The average monthly temperature is about 22℃, and the monthly sunshine hours 170 hours are suitable for the flowering and fruiting requirements of papaya. So in the south, it is suitable for planting in mountainous areas with cool climate.

Temperature: bergamot likes a warm climate with uniform rainfall distribution, which is not resistant to high temperature and cold. The stems and leaves are frozen at 0℃, and all the stems and leaves freeze to death at -3 ~-5℃. The growth rate is slow at 10℃, and the best growth rate is at 20 ~ 25℃. When the monthly average temperature is about 20℃, the daily growth of stems and vines is only 2 ~ 3 cm, while when the temperature is above 25℃, the daily growth of stems and vines reaches 15 ~ 2~3cm, but too high temperature is also unfavorable. When the temperature is higher than 35℃, the growth rate is obviously inhibited. The suitable temperature for flowering and fruiting is 15 ~ 20℃. When the temperature is lower than 15℃ or higher than 25℃, it will affect flowering and pollination, reduce the fruit setting rate and affect the development of melon. When the temperature is lower than 5℃, the melon stops swelling.

Pruning: bergamot flowers and fruits are concentrated, which has great influence on the growth of stems and vines. Picking in time and feeding the consumption of nutrients are beneficial to the growth and development of melons and increase the yield.

Fertilization: In autumn, the growth of bergamot is obviously accelerated, and it enters the vigorous growth period, which makes the aboveground part of the plant grow rapidly and has more lateral branches, laying a material foundation for more flowers and fruits. During the flowering and fruiting period, the daily transpiration is large, and sufficient water and fertilizer are needed to keep the soil moist. Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers can be sprayed on the leaves for 2 ~ 3 times, or decomposed human and animal fertilizers can be applied.

Planting time of bergamot

Bergamot is prone to freezing injury, so it must be planted after the frost period. According to different climatic conditions, various localities can choose suitable planting periods. Generally choose to transplant around May Day, and spray a new layer of high-fat film after transplanting. On the surface of plants, it can prevent the infection of germs, improve the ability to resist natural disasters, improve the intensity of photosynthesis and protect the vigorous growth of rice seedlings.
