August melon, also known as fried in August, is called "precocious fruit" by Chinese medicine. Different places have different names. For example, Fujian and other places call August melon "wax". The fruit of Akebia trifoliata, wild fruit. It is named after the fruit ripens and cracks in August. The banana-shaped fruit is rich in sugar, vitamin C and 12 amino acids, as well as valeric acid, methionine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, lysine and so on, which cannot be synthesized by human body. Sweet fruit, pollution-free green food, known as "native banana." It is distributed in Guizhou and Hunan, mostly in Tongren, Guizhou and Tian Zi Scenic Area in Zhangjiajie, Hunan. In August of the lunar calendar, melons and fruits are mature and open, and there are abundant wild resources such as Suoxiyu and Yang Jiajie in foothills, forests and shrubs. It is an excellent wild fruit and is now listed as a key development project by relevant departments.
The value of August melon has been gradually recognized by people. At present, its wild fruit output is in short supply in the local area. Every year, when the fruit is ripe, there are a lot of purchases from other provinces, which are difficult to buy in the market. This shows that there is great potential in the domestic and foreign markets, and planting August melons can achieve great economic value.
How to remove seeds from August melon planting
1. There are four cultivation methods of August melon: seed propagation, burying propagation, rooting propagation and cutting propagation.
1. The seeds are propagated from September to10. When the fruit of August melon is ripe, pick the fruit of August melon, eat the pulp, and leave the seeds for timely autumn sowing. First, wash the seeds with alkaline water, then rinse them with clear water, drain the water and sow them in the whole seedbed in time. Seed propagation is simple and easy, and the bred seedlings bear fruit late, and it will take 3 years to bear fruit. Generally not used in production.
2. The stems of August melons and vines propagated by burying strips have strong germination ability. 1~2-year-old lianas can take root after 1 month and can be propagated all year round. After ordinary planting, it can bear fruit and blossom in the second year.
3. Propagation by roots. Propagation by dividing roots before germination in early spring. A bag of many August melons is divided into many plants from the roots by hand. Under the condition of not cutting off the branches and vines, planting in the same year will bear fruit in the same year.
4. Cutting propagation can be cut all year round. Choose robust, pest-free 1~2-year-old branches, cut them into 10 cm long branches and cut them into the whole seedbed, and pay attention to water damage, shading and drought prevention. If conditions permit, branches and vines can be soaked with ABT2 rooting powder for cutting, and the survival rate can be increased to 100%.
Second, the seedlings are planted with August melons, which are shallow-rooted tree species. With the characteristics of liking light, it is necessary to choose a sunny place for cultivation. The narrow layer of Qin Dynasty should be deep, fertile and convenient for irrigation and drainage, so as to obtain high yield, stable yield and high quality. The pH value of soil should be slightly acidic to slightly alkaline, and the topsoil should contain more humus. Plant 300 plants per mu. The specifications for soil preparation are 50 cm long, 50 cm wide and 40 cm deep. Dig 300 pits per mu, and apply fermented human and animal compost 10kg to each pit. Soil and fertilizer are mixed evenly, and seedlings must be planted before germination.
Third, field management When the seedlings grow new buds, set up scaffolding and tie vines to promote the growth of seedlings. No diseases have been found to prevent herbivores from eating August melons. At present, only a few mites are found to harm young leaves, which can be controlled by decocting and spraying tobacco leaves. The flowering, new leaves and new buds of August melon grow at the same time. The first rapid growth period of young fruit is from mid-May to mid-June, and the second rapid growth period is August. Before the rapid growth period of fruit, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote fruit expansion and maturity. In order to ensure the quality of August melon, before the young fruit grows rapidly for the first time, two fruits are left in each flower, and the extra fruits are pinched off. Pruning is mainly based on thinning, cutting off dead branches and taking down weak branches. When the fruit is ripe, you can harvest it by pinching Microsoft with your hands.
How to grow August melons? How many years will they blossom and bear fruit?
August melon is a vine, which can bear fruit in three years and is very sweet when it matures. It is recommended to plant in fertile soil and reproduce in the following ways.
1, seed propagation: seed propagation is simple and easy, and the produced seedlings bear fruit later, usually after 3 years. Generally not used for production.
2. Buried propagation: In August, the stems of zucchini have strong germination ability. Select 1~2-year-old vines buried in human soil, and 1 month can take root and reproduce all year round. Generally, it can blossom and bear fruit in the second year after planting.
3. Propagation by roots: Propagation by roots before germination in early spring. A bag of many August melons is divided into many plants from the roots by hand.
Under the condition of not pruning or pruning vines, the fruit of the same year will be planted in the same year. 4. Cutting propagation: select 1~2-year-old branches and vines with strong growth and no pests and diseases, cut them into 10 cm long branches, and cut them into arranged seedbeds, and pay attention to water damage, shading and drought prevention.
When the seedlings grow new buds, the scaffolding and vines are tied together to promote the growth of the seedlings. Prevent herbivores from eating.
1, melon blooms in August, new leaves and shoots grow synchronously, and the first rapid growth period of young fruit is from mid-May to mid-June. The second acceleration is in August.
Before the rapid growth period of fruit, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote fruit expansion and maturity. In order to ensure the quality of August melon, before the young fruit grows rapidly for the first time, two fruits are left in each flower, and the extra fruits are pinched off.
3. Pruning is mainly based on thinning, cutting off dead branches and twigs.

Cultivation techniques of wild August melon
The growth habit of August melon is that it likes wet and cold. It often grows in the grass under the low-altitude hillside, grows well in the slightly acidic yellow soil rich in humus, and can also adapt to neutral soil. Stems and vines usually grow in a creeping manner. Other communities and main associated plants are Liriodendron chinense, Rhus verniciflua, Tenjikukatsura and Viburnum Jinshan.
August melon 1 propagation technology, seed propagation: September ~ 10 When the fruit of August melon is ripe, pick the fruit and eat it, and leave the seeds for timely autumn sowing. First, the seeds are washed with alkaline water, rinsed with clear water, drained and dried. The seeds were stored in the sand for 50-70 days around the lunar calendar 165438+ 10, and planted in the sorted seedbed in time at the beginning of February of the following spring.
Seed propagation is simple and easy, and the cultivated seedlings bear fruit late, usually after 3 years. Generally not used for production.
2. Buried propagation: In August, the stems of zucchini have strong germination ability. Select 1~2-year-old vines buried in human soil, and 1 month can take root and reproduce all year round. Generally, it can blossom and bear fruit in the second year after planting.
3. Propagation by splitting roots: propagation by splitting roots is carried out in August before germination in early spring. A bag of many August melons is divided into many plants from the roots by hand.
Under the condition of not pruning or pruning vines, the fruit of the same year will be planted in the same year. 4. Cutting propagation: August melons can be cut all year round. Choose robust, pest-free 1~2-year-old branches, cut them into 10 cm long branches and cut them into sorted seedbeds, and pay attention to water damage, shading and drought prevention.
If conditions permit, branches and vines can be soaked with ABT2 rooting powder for cutting, and the survival rate can be increased to 100%. The seedling management of August melon is 1, and the planting time: according to the root growth of seedlings obtained by different propagation methods, it is planted in the field in spring and winter, with spring sowing before germination and winter sowing after defoliation. Seedlings propagated by cutting and layering can be transplanted in June of 12 or early March of the following year, and the seeds can be bred for one year.
2. Planting technology: vertical projection from the point to the stringing line 15 ~ 20cm, digging planting holes with a diameter of 30 ~ 40cm and a depth of 25 ~ 30cm. The dug soil is mixed with decomposed farmyard manure into a half-backfilled pit, and a steamed bun-shaped mound is cultivated at the bottom of the pit. Put the seedlings in the hole, lengthen the roots, and then backfill the remaining soil. The plant spacing should be 90 * 65433. 3. Seedling management: If cuttage propagation can't absorb water because it doesn't take root after the cuttings germinate, it mainly depends on the water supply in the cuttings. At this time, it is necessary to do a good job of shading and watering to prevent the cutting seedlings from drying up due to leaf water evaporation, especially in the south, where there is often a high temperature weather stage from April to May, which is the highest stage of cutting seedlings' death. At this time, spray can be used to achieve the purpose of cooling and moisturizing.
The general external conditions of layering propagation have no obvious influence on it, and the seedling management is simple. Sexual reproduction mainly adopts seed seedling, which is mainly carried out in greenhouse. The management of seedling period is relatively simple, as long as it is watered regularly, and the operation is very simple. But in the hot season, we should pay attention to ventilation to prevent the temperature from overheating.
4. Seedling management: Seedling management is mainly weeding. After seed seedling, cutting or layering seedling, a small amount of base fertilizer should be applied in the planting hole when transplanting, but the base fertilizer should be evenly mixed with the soil to prevent the rooting and young root growth of cutting seedlings from being affected. After planting, it enters the seedling stage, which is the period of rapid growth of August melon, and the requirements for water and fertilizer are relatively high. At this time, it should be applied before germination. August melon 1 field management, rational fertilization: before germination in early March and in the middle of plant growth in June-July (fruit expansion period), after planting, topdressing for 1 time, topdressing available nitrogen and potassium fertilizer on both sides of each plant, digging shallow ditches with hoes and shovels within 30 cm from the plant, and immediately spreading fertilizer in the ditches.
2. Reasonable irrigation: When August melons are short of water, artificial irrigation should be carried out. Before the rainy season in summer, the drainage ditch in August melon planting area should be cleaned in time, and the accumulated water should be removed in time. 3. Intertillage weeding: keep the soil loose and free of miscellaneous plants in the planting area of August melon, and the depth of intertillage weeding is 10~ 15 cm. Generally, manual weeding is adopted, and herbicides are not used. According to the growth law of weeds in the field, weeding should be carried out before the melon seedlings in August to eliminate weeds so as not to cover the drug seedlings. Weeds should be pulled up manually and hoed after two weeks.
4. Erect pruning: the stems of August melons and vines are fixed on the erector with palm leaves, and each plant keeps 2-4 fixed main vines, which need to be managed regularly like fruit trees such as grapes. Pruning is mainly based on thinning, and pruning is mainly based on top flower buds. Pruning time can be carried out in winter, and bleeding begins 2-3 weeks after the leaves fall off, but it should be carried out in winter. 5. Pest control: Pest control that harms Akebia trifoliata mainly includes clearing the garden in winter and eliminating overwintering pupae and eggs. Orchards should be sprayed with pesticides in time to control pests, or captured artificially, or integrated biological control, especially in spring, to prevent young branches and vines from being harmed by red leaf cicadas, aphids, trichomites, white mites and red spiders, or.
6. Harvesting with pockets: Harvesting in sunny days should be carried out after the dew disappears in the morning, and harvesting with branch scissors and sharp knives. When harvesting, it should be cut at a height of about 20 cm from the base of the stem, but the roots and roots of the mother plant should not be damaged, that is, pockets should be left as the basis for the next year's reproduction. After the mother plant of August melon is harvested, a large number of new shoots will grow from the base the next year. After selecting these new buds, 2-3 new buds will be kept and fixed on the square frame.
How to plant fried seeds of August melon? When do you plant it? Don't copy it, thank you. -A hundred.
August melons generally have the following breeding methods.
1, seed propagation: seed propagation is simple and easy, and the produced seedlings bear fruit later, usually after 3 years. Generally not used for production.
2. Buried propagation: In August, the stems of zucchini have strong germination ability. Select 1~2-year-old vines buried in human soil, and 1 month can take root and reproduce all year round. Generally, it can blossom and bear fruit in the second year after planting.

Cutting propagation: select 1~2-year-old branches and vines with strong growth and no pests and diseases, cut them into 10 cm long branches, and cut them into arranged seedbeds, and pay attention to water damage, shading and drought prevention.
When the seedlings grow new buds, the scaffolding and vines are tied together to promote the growth of the seedlings. Prevent herbivores from eating.
1, melon blooms in August, new leaves and shoots grow synchronously, and the first rapid growth period of young fruit is from mid-May to mid-June. The second acceleration is in August.
Before the rapid growth period of fruit, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote fruit expansion and maturity. In order to ensure the quality of August melon, before the young fruit grows rapidly for the first time, two fruits are left in each flower, and the extra fruits are pinched off.
3. Pruning is mainly based on thinning, cutting off dead branches and twigs.
Planting techniques of August melon
First, seedling propagation
There are four propagation methods of August melon: seed propagation, burying propagation, rooting propagation and cutting propagation.
1. The seeds are propagated from September to10. When the fruit of August melon is ripe, pick the fruit of August melon, eat the pulp, and leave the seeds for timely autumn sowing. First, wash the seeds with alkaline water, then rinse them with clear water, drain the water and sow them in the whole seedbed in time. Seed propagation is simple and easy, and the bred seedlings bear fruit late, and it will take 3 years to bear fruit. Generally not used in production.
2. The stems of August melons and vines propagated by burying strips have strong germination ability. 1~2-year-old lianas can take root after 1 month and can be propagated all year round. After ordinary planting, it can bear fruit and blossom in the second year.
3. Propagation by roots. Propagation by dividing roots before germination in early spring. A bag of many August melons is divided into many plants from the roots by hand. Under the condition of not cutting off the branches and vines, planting in the same year will bear fruit in the same year.
4. Cutting propagation can be cut all year round. Choose robust, pest-free 1~2-year-old branches, cut them into 10 cm long branches and cut them into the whole seedbed, and pay attention to water damage, shading and drought prevention. If conditions permit, branches and vines can be soaked with ABT2 rooting powder for cutting, and the survival rate can be increased to 100%.
Second, seedling planting
August melon is a shallow-rooted tree species. With the characteristics of liking light, it is necessary to choose a sunny place for cultivation. The narrow layer of Qin Dynasty should be deep, fertile and convenient for irrigation and drainage, so as to obtain high yield, stable yield and high quality. The pH value of soil should be slightly acidic to slightly alkaline, and the topsoil should contain more humus. Plant 300 plants per mu. The specifications for soil preparation are 50 cm long, 50 cm wide and 40 cm deep. Dig 300 pits per mu, and apply fermented human and animal compost 10kg to each pit. Soil and fertilizer are mixed evenly, and seedlings must be planted before germination.
Third, on-site treatment
When the seedlings grow new buds, put up scaffolding and tie vines to promote the growth of seedlings. No diseases have been found to prevent herbivores from eating August melons. At present, only a few mites are found to harm young leaves, which can be controlled by decocting and spraying tobacco leaves. The flowering, new leaves and new buds of August melon grow at the same time. The first rapid growth period of young fruit is from mid-May to mid-June, and the second rapid growth period is August. Before the rapid growth period of fruit, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote fruit expansion and maturity. In order to ensure the quality of August melon, before the young fruit grows rapidly for the first time, two fruits are left in each flower, and the extra fruits are pinched off. Pruning is mainly based on thinning, cutting off dead branches and taking down weak branches. When the fruit is ripe, you can harvest it by pinching Microsoft with your hands.
