Planting technique of indoor gourd in winter

Soil preparation and fertilization: fertilizing the gourd 10 days before planting, during which the land should be ploughed thicker. Sowing: you can disinfect the seeds with shamantan and sow them. Set up gourd scaffolding: gourd round ladle, grinder ladle, small ladle, etc., can grow naturally with the terrain, if you want to cultivate a good shape of the gourd, need to set up scaffolding. Pinching and pinch vines: pinch and pinch vines when the branches of the gourd extend to the top of the shed.

1. Soil preparation and fertilization

1. In order to promote the soil to fully absorb nutrients, fertilization can be carried out 10 days before the gourd is planted. During this period, the land should be ploughed thicker and fertilized more, so that the roots of the gourd can be deeper and thrive. Especially for varieties such as big ladle and long ladle, the application of deep ploughing and compost is even more important. If the groundwater rises in the rainy season, it is easy to lead to rotten roots, during which the rise of groundwater should be controlled. Carry out deep ploughing within the limits of not rotting roots.

2. The gourd is planted in the greenhouse, and the greenhouse can not be moved, because one is for several years, so to prevent the obstacle of continuous planting, it is necessary to apply high-quality fertilizer, and the so-called organic matter fertilizer is to produce microorganisms in the soil. The so-called organic matter fertilizer is nitrogen fertilizer, including food cake, fish dregs, chicken manure, phosphate fertilizer refers to bone or rice bran, potash fertilizer is plant ash or rice straw ash, or combine these reasonable proportions as fertilizer. Or use organic compound fertilizers.

3, gourd does not adapt to acid soil, yuan fertilizer must be added lime, if insufficient lime, vines will turn brown, young fruit will be distorted, lime with magnesium lime or hydrated lime 1m2 plus 20kg, the amount of yuan fertilizer needs to be determined according to the situation of the land, usually nitrogen phosphoric acid, potassium is 1 m21kg suitable.

4. during the period, it should be noted that if the yuan fertilizer is applied too much, the vine will not grow, it is not easy to open female flowers, and it is prone to diseases. The order of making fields is compost and lime, and the soil is mixed together with 30 cm, then other fertilizers are applied to fine and stir the soil. if the land is poorly drained, a ditch with a height of 10 cm can be dug.

Second, sowing seeds

1. The seeds of the gourd are covered with pathogens such as charcoal disease, so you can disinfect the seeds and sow them with pincers, or cut off part of the seed coat with nail Clippers. If the seeds are thin, you can use nail knives, but you can't destroy the embryos inside.

2. In order to ensure sprouting, the germinated seeds can be planted during the period, and the seeds can be wrapped in a sealed container with wet towels and other clothes. put them in a place with a temperature of 25-30 ℃, using electric blankets, and wait for 3-4 days to germinate. When the buds are 0.5-1cm long, plant them in a seedling pot and the soil uses seedling culture soil.

3. Lay the seeds flat, cover them with 1 cm of soil, then water them until they germinate with a newspaper to avoid evaporation of water. Just put them out of the shade where you can't get caught in the rain.

Third, set up gourd scaffolding

1. Round ladle, grinder ladle and small ladle in the gourd can grow naturally with the topography. If you want to cultivate a gourd with good shape, you need to set up scaffolding. The size of the scaffolding depends on the area of the courtyard and the number of plants planted. It takes 3 inches to plant a small ladle and 5 inches to grow a large ladle.

2. The height of the scaffolding is about 2 meters, and the roof is tied into a well shape with an interval of about 30 centimeters with bamboo poles and tied up with thorn rope to resist the oppression of the strong wind and the gravity of the gourd itself.

3. During this period, it will be more convenient to build scaffolding with pipes that build a small warm shed, and the upper cover can be used to surf the Internet. Once the gourd scaffolding is done, it is more difficult to move, so it is more difficult to plant in the same place every year. In order to avoid the disadvantages caused by continuous farming, mobile scaffolding can be made during this period and can be planted in different locations. After 1-2 years of small-scale planting, the planting site needs to be changed.

IV. Pinching tips and vines

When the branches and vines of the gourd extend to the roof of the shed, pinching and pinching vines become an important work every day because of the growth of vines, and this stage is a period of frequent occurrence of diseases and insect pests, and prevention is more important than treatment. Pesticide can be sprayed once a week. Pollination, fruit picking, cleaning withered leaves and supporting ladles are the main work in the middle and later stages of gourd growth.

Leaves and vines begin to harvest after they have withered

1. The main work in autumn is to harvest mature gourds. However, because the time of setting fruit is not recorded, it is easy to pick off immature gourds.

2. If you wait until the leaves and vines have withered before harvesting, the above situation will be avoided. During this period, the harvested gourd can be shaved and dried in the sun. Winter is the season for processing the gourd. Generally, it can be processed into exquisite gourd handicrafts according to one's own creativity.
