Brief introduction of golden silk melon:
Golden-silk squash, also known as "jellyfish" and natural vermicelli, is a rare vegetable variety because its natural silk looks like shark's fin.
The skin of golden silk ground melon is thin and sweet, and it can be fried, cooled, fried and made into soup, and cooked into dishes with various flavors. When eating, pat the melon around, cut it, stir it or put it in the pot for a few minutes, and stir it into golden filaments with chopsticks, like "vermicelli" and taste like "jellyfish". Shark's fin melon is made of sweet and sour shark's fin melon by cold mixing with a little seasoning. Its color is golden yellow, crisp, sweet and sour, fragrant, and it can also taste the natural taste of Cucurbita melo, which is really a rare delicacy. Shredding, stir-frying and making soup are also fresh and refreshing, and they are a kind of vegetables with good color and fragrance.
According to the nutritional analysis of research institutions, every 100g of melon meat contains 95g of water, 0.6g of protein, 3g of carbohydrates and 0.4g of plant cellulose, among which trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus and iron are very rich, and it also contains nutrients such as carotene, riboflavin, vitamin thiamine, nicotinic acid, etc., especially a kind of fenugreek which is not found in ordinary melons. It is the top food in melons and fruits, and has a regulating effect.
Cultivation techniques:
Planting time: Zucchini can be planted in spring and autumn, such as protected cultivation all year round. Sow in March and April in spring, raise seedlings with nutrient blocks or nutrient bowls, or cover the seedbed with film, and transplant after the temperature rises. It can also be planted in the field covered with plastic film in mid-April, or directly in the field from the end of April to the beginning of May. Sow in autumn from June to July in the same way as zucchini.
Planting method: before planting, apply 2 ~ 3 cubic meters of decomposed farmyard manure, and add nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Plant spacing is 40 cm, small row spacing is 50 cm ~ 60 cm, large row spacing is 1 m, and planting per mu is 1500 ~ 2000 plants.
Planting: after planting, cover the soil, water enough to promote early seedlings, use less water at seedling stage and cultivate more, improve ground temperature and promote root growth. When the number of leaves increases to 9- 12, the plant enters the fruiting stage, and nitrogen fertilizer can be applied 1 time in the early melon stage, and urea can be applied 7.5- 10 kg per mu. Appropriate application of potassium fertilizer or compound fertilizer during flowering and fruiting period. After the first melon is harvested, 5-7.5 kilograms of urea can be applied per mu to prevent premature aging and yield reduction.
Breeding method:
Nursery seedlings are cultivated in nutrient bags. Generally, 1/3 plant ash and 1/3 decomposed farmyard manure are used as nutrient soil, and 2kg ternary compound fertilizer can be added to each cubic meter of nutrient soil. Put the prepared nutrient soil into a nutrient bag, put it in a sunny place, and water it until the nutrient soil is completely soaked. Put a germinated seed plate in each nutrition bag and cover it with fine soil, with a thickness of about 1.5 ~ 2cm.
Pest control:
Zucchini has strong resistance to stress, and there are generally no pests and diseases, but it should be prevented. Don't plant on plots where melons have been planted; Seeds should be disinfected. When accelerating germination, the seeds can be soaked in melon continuous cropping agent or 1000 times of formalin 1 hour, then washed with clear water, soaked for 3-4 hours, dried, kept at 28-32℃, and accelerated to germinate 12 hours, and then the seeds can be planted. Cucumber varieties are susceptible to virus diseases and anthracnose at high temperatures in many seasons. The prevention and treatment of viral diseases is mainly to eliminate aphids. When the diseased plants are found, they are pulled out and burned, and the uninfected plants are sprayed with virus A or Phytophthora II, and at the same time, aphid control agents are added, once every 5-7 days and sprayed for 3-4 times.
