1. Topdressing: After the seedlings are planted, topdressing with manure for 2-3 times, watering once at the vine extension stage, and applying 15 kilograms of urea per mu at the fruit setting stage. 2. Tendon introduction: after the seedlings are slowed down, a support is set up in the planting area, and when the melon vines grow 16-18 knots, the vines are put on the shelves in time. 3, castration: combined with the work of tying vines, cut off the side branches and sparse the redundant male flowers. 4. Pollination: After the male flowers open, apply their pollen to the stigma of the female flowers.

1. How to manage wax gourd

1. Topdressing

After planting seedlings, topdressing with thin manure water for 2-3 times, watering once at the vine extension stage, and applying 15 kilograms of urea per mu at the fruit setting stage (when wax gourd grows to the size of a fist).

2. After inducing vines to slow down the seedlings, set up a support in the planting area, and the suitable height of the support is 1.2-1.5 meters. When the melon vines grow 16-18 knots, induce vines to put on the shelves in time, and tie the melon vines to the support with ropes every 2-3 cm.

3. emasculation

The main vine is the main fruit-bearing part of wax gourd, so the lateral branches can be cut off in combination with the vine binding work, and the redundant male flowers can be thinned out.

4. Pollination

(1) Do a good job of artificial pollination at the right time. The specific method is to touch the newly opened male flower anther with the female flower, so that the pollen is covered with the stigma of the female flower.

(2) In order to avoid falling flowers and fruits, 1 mg/kg of? 2,4-D? Solution.

1. Do you want to cut the head of the wax gourd after fruit bearing?

After fruit bearing, the wax gourd usually needs to be cut (that is, topping), and 2-25 healthy leaves can be reserved before cutting the head. After cutting the head of wax gourd, let it adapt to the growing environment slowly, and then gradually increase the amount of watering. At first, wax gourd should not be exposed to a lot of sun radiation, just make sure it can receive the sun astigmatism, so as to gradually change the growth habits of wax gourd.

2. Method for cutting the head of wax gourd

(1) Select 2-3 strong lateral branches at the bottom of the main vine, and then remove the remaining lateral branches, leaving 5-6 leaves behind each lateral branch to pick the core, which can not only prevent the main stem from growing vigorously, but also facilitate the concentrated transportation of nutrients into wax gourd.

(2) It should be noted that this method is relatively one-sided, and it is only suitable for winter melon cultivated on the ground, but not for winter melon in greenhouse.
