Planting techniques of aristocratic pumpkin

Land selection and land preparation: aristocratic pumpkins have strong drought resistance, and can be planted in plots with high terrain and convenient drainage, and farm manure is applied as base fertilizer after deep ploughing. Sowing method: you can choose direct seeding or transplanting. Direct seeding is to sow the seeds according to the row spacing of 2-3m and the plant spacing of 50-70cm, and then cover the soil. Transplanting should first cultivate melon seedlings, then transplant and water them when they reach the height of 5-10cm. Post-management: fertilizing, artificial pollination, topping, erection, vine pressing and other work.

Introduction of aristocratic pumpkins

1. The aristocratic pumpkin is not very beautiful in appearance, hammer-shaped, pointed at both ends, round in the middle, bluish gray in the skin, orange in flesh, pink and waxy in taste, similar to the taste of chestnuts, but more pink and sweet than chestnuts. Aristocratic pumpkins, also known as Golden Chestnut King, are native to the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang and belong to the best pumpkins.

2, edible easy to digest, easy to absorb, but also rich in iron, phosphorus, cobalt, carotene, vitamins, etc., can promote metabolism and hematopoietic function, now more popular to eat aristocratic pumpkin, four to five jin of noble pumpkin on the market to sell dozens of yuan.

3. The planting method of aristocratic pumpkin is not complicated, which is similar to that of ordinary pumpkin. It does not require high soil, but in fertile, neutral or slightly acidic soil, the taste of aristocratic pumpkin will be better.

4. When sowing aristocratic pumpkin, you can use hole sowing, put 1-2 seeds in each hole, the whole growth period is 110-120 days, the flowering period can be assisted by artificial pollination to ensure the fruit-setting rate, there are 3-4 fruits per plant, from flowering to harvest for about 40 days. after the Lignification of the melon can be harvested, the noble pumpkin is more resistant to storage, the longer it is placed, the more powdery it will be, and the higher the sweetness will be, whether it is family planting. Or large-scale commercial cultivation, aristocratic pumpkins are worth trying.

II. Planting techniques of aristocratic pumpkin

1. Land selection and preparation

The drought resistance of aristocratic pumpkin is relatively high, so when selecting land, we can choose land with high topography and convenient drainage and irrigation. It is not suitable to plant in the soil where water is easy to accumulate and water is not convenient to discharge. Deep ploughing can be carried out as far as possible when preparing the soil. And sprinkle an appropriate amount of farm fertilizer as base fertilizer to ensure sufficient soil fertility and is conducive to the robust growth of aristocratic pumpkins.

2. Sowing method

(1) there are two ways of sowing aristocratic pumpkin, the first is to sow the seeds directly in the soil, in the ploughed fields, according to the row spacing of 2-3 meters, plant spacing of 50-70cm, put 1-2 seeds in each hole, and cover a small amount of soil after sowing.

(2) the second way is to transplant the seedlings, first of all, cultivate the melon seedlings in the field, until the melon seedlings grow to 5-10cm, you can transplant, after transplanting, you need to water until the melon seedlings grow new roots.

3. Sowing technology

The aristocratic pumpkin can be planted with multiple parallel plants. when the aristocratic pumpkin seedlings grow to 50-60cm, cut off the tip of the adjacent two seedlings with a knife, then fasten the two seedlings that have been cut off the tip, generally wait for about 2-3 to grow at the interface will grow new seedlings, wait until the new seedlings grow to 50-60cm, and so on, and remove the excess vines at the same time.

4. Post-management

Fertilization: fertilization can generally be applied after planting and when the melon vine grows to 20cm or so.

Pollination: in order to improve the melon setting rate, artificial pollination can be used.

Scaffolding: when the melon seedling grows to about 2 meters, the top of the melon vine needs to be removed in time to promote it to grow more vines, which is helpful to increase its yield. at the same time, it can build a support to support the melon seedling on the shelf and grow up along the bracket. this can also reduce diseases and insect pests and improve the melon setting rate.

Pressure vine: can wait until the first batch of melon fruit, part of the melon vine turns yellow when the pressure vine, to urge it to grow new vines, so as to increase its yield.

5. Prevention and control of diseases

The common diseases of aristocratic pumpkins are powdery mildew, which will affect the normal growth of aristocratic pumpkins and lead to poor quality of aristocratic pumpkins. Generally, they can be sprayed with 200x solution of Nongkang 120water agent, 1500 times of spray bacillus and 2000 times of Fenru Ning EC for control.
