Small wax gourd is suitable for growing in moist soil environment, but it is not tolerant to waterlogging. The main purpose of watering is to keep the soil moist. There is little water demand at seedling stage and the soil is not dry. The water demand in the fruiting period is large, so adequate fertilizer and water fertilizer should be applied appropriately. Each mu of decomposed organic fertilizer is about 1000 kg, or fermented chicken manure is about 400 kg, or diamine phosphate is about 30 kg.
It should be planted in two rows, the row spacing is 80 cm, the spacing between plants on both sides of the border is 50~60 cm, and the planting per mu is about 1500 plants. Sowing is carried out through live broadcast. Wet the seeds with 500-600 kg of 10% light manure water before sowing. Apply seedling fertilizer after seedling establishment, apply fermented human manure with water, and apply quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer during growth period. Top dressing should be earlier. Generally, 65,438+00% human excrement and urine are sprayed 5-7 days after sowing, and the first heavy fertilizer is applied about 65,438+05 days after sowing, and 30-50 kg peanut bran, 50 kg compound fertilizer and 8-65,438+00 kg urea are applied per mu. Apply the second heavy fertilizer in 36-30 days.
Usually, in order to promote the rapid growth of plants, Chikugua will be shaped into a "human" shape, which is also conducive to the prevention and control of some pests and diseases. Before the fruiting period, in order to prevent nutrient loss, all the lateral vines growing at the base of the main vine should be pulled out. When the first melon grows to 10- 15 cm, water it frequently to keep the soil moist. When the second melon appeared, 750 kilograms of diammonium phosphate and 300 kilograms of potassium sulfate were applied per hectare.
