1. The zucchini is also called hairy melon. The zucchini is a variant of wax gourd belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae. It likes high temperatures and humidity, has no strict requirements on the length of sunshine, and is not tolerant to waterlogging. It is distributed in southern China, especially in Guangdong and Guangxi, and has a long history.

2. The root system of zucchini is stronger, but weaker than that of pumpkin. The stem is creeping, the leaves are five-ridged, the melon is 10-20 cm long, 6-8 cm in transverse diameter, green and hairy. The axillary buds of stem nodes are prone to side vines, so they have strong branching ability. The vines begin to grow, and there are tendrils at each stem node, and the tendrils branch, and later there are flower buds, which differentiate into male or female flowers. The leaves of the zucchini are alternate, palmately 5-7-lobed, generally 18-20 cm long and 20-25 cm wide, with small notches on the leaf margins and a small serrated shape. The leaf surface is dark green, the back of the leaf is green, the petiole is round, and the length is 10- 15 cm, green, with hairs on the leaf surface, leaf back and petiole. The flowers of zucchini are unisexual and solitary.
