How to grow giant gourd

1. Prepare before sowing: choose a fertile, sunny, well-drained place, apply sufficient basic fertilizer, and turn it deeply properly. The improved varieties were selected and the seeds were soaked in warm hot water with new high-fat membrane for 20 minutes, so that the seeds could emerge ahead of time.

2. Sowing at the right time: sowing in the south from late March to mid-May, direct seeding in the north from late April to the first and middle of May, and plastic film mulching can be advanced appropriately. Using hole sowing, 2 grains per hole, row spacing 1.6-1.8 meters, plant spacing 0.5 meters, 667 square meters planting 650-700 plants.

3. Fertilization frame: fertilizing in time after survival, in addition to applying sufficient basic fertilizer, spraying fertilizer in the gourd growing period to promote flower bud differentiation, more flowering, more fruit setting, preventing fruit drop and promoting development. At the same time, scaffolding should be built in time to facilitate climbing. When the rainy season comes, it should be drained in time and pay attention to waterlogging prevention.

4. Adjust the melon type: the gourd tender fruit has sticky hair on the epidermis and stops growing when touched, which can be used to produce a neat and consistent gourd. Before flowering, young fruit stage and fruit expansion stage, fertilizer was sprayed to thicken the pedicel, strengthen the directional transport of nutrients, promote the rapid development of melon body, beautiful melon type, no falling flower, no falling melon, no crack melon and no abnormal melon in the growth cycle.

Planting technology of giant gourd

1. Preparation of the field

In order to better absorb nutrients in the soil, fertilization was carried out 10 days before gourd planting. Plough the land thicker and fertilize more, so that the roots of the gourd can be deep and thrive. The gourd is planted in a shed, and the shed can not be moved, so one can be planted for several years. therefore, to prevent the obstacle of continuous planting, we should apply high-quality fertilizer and cultivate microorganisms in the soil with organic matter as the main body.

2. Sowing seeds

The seeds of the gourd are infected with pathogens such as charcoal disease, so they are disinfected and sown, crack with pliers or cut off part of the seed coat with nail Clippers, but do not destroy the embryos inside. In order to ensure the germination, the best way to ensure the germination is to plant the germinated seeds and wrap the seeds in a sealed container with wet towels and other cloth and put them in a place of 25-30 ℃. When the bud is 0.5-1cm long, plant it in the seedling pot and use the seedling culture soil in the soil.

3. Set up scaffolding

If you want to cultivate a well-shaped gourd, you should set up scaffolding. The size of the scaffolding should be determined according to the area of the courtyard and the number of plants cultivated, and the scaffolding should be tied up with thorn rope to resist the oppression of the strong wind and the gravity of the gourd itself. It will be more convenient to build scaffolding with pipes that build small warm sheds. In this case, the top cover can surf the Internet.

4. Pinching tips and vines

When the branches of the gourd stretch under the roof, due to the growth of the vine, pinching the vine has become an important work every day, a little carelessness will be wasted. And this period is a period of frequent occurrence of diseases and insect pests, prevention is more important than treatment. Spray pesticides once a week in a planned way. In the middle and later stage of gourd growth, pollination, fruit picking, cleaning withered leaves, supporting ladle and so on are the main work.

How to sprout a giant gourd

Method one, accelerate the germination to grow quickly, accelerate the germination can find three napkins, wet and hold out the water, it is appropriate to paper towels without dripping, two layers of bottom and one layer on top, put the gourd seeds in the middle, put them in a convenient bag and seal them. After a day or two, the seeds can be planted.

Method 2, first gently open the tip of the gourd seed with your hand (note, do not hurt the germ inside), and then insert it into the moist soil, but do not soak in water. It usually sprouts in a week or so.

When is it suitable to grow giant gourd?

Gourd is suitable for sowing in late March to early April, can be planted in open field, suitable temperature for growth: 15 ℃-28 ℃ sowing method: seeds flat, covered with 1cm soil, then watered, until germinated with a newspaper cover, so as not to evaporate water, put in the semi-shade outside can not be drenched. Keep the soil surface humidity and the seedlings will emerge in more than ten days. Choose sunny and windless days to sow seeds, and the seedbed should be watered with bottom water first.

The planting method of giant gourd is not very difficult, all of which are described in detail above, and hope to be helpful to you. The growth rate of the gourd is also very fast, so we must ensure its adequate nutrition during the planting period, so as to ensure that the gourd can grow normally.
