cultivate
Pumpkin has strong drought resistance, but the requirement for water is strict, and the water should not be too much. Therefore, when choosing land, attention should be paid to choosing land with higher terrain and better drainage and irrigation, and it should not be planted in soil where water is easy to accumulate and water is not easy to be discharged.
When preparing soil, we should pay attention to deep ploughing as much as possible, and sprinkle farmyard manure as base fertilizer to ensure that the soil fertility is sufficient for pumpkin growth;
When the seedling grows to 2m, the top of the vine should be removed in time, so that it will grow more vines, which is beneficial to increase the yield. Some shelves can also be built to support the seedling on the shelf and grow along the shelf, which can also avoid the injury of vines hitting rain and reduce pests and diseases.
