First, what is the yellow pumpkin leaf?

The yellow leaves of pumpkins may be caused by lack of light, overwatering or infected with diseases and insect pests. If there is a lack of light, you should increase it and let it bask in the sun.

II. Pumpkin planting techniques

1. Land selection and preparation

Pumpkin has a strong ability to resist drought, but the requirement for water is relatively strict, and water should not be too much, so when selecting land, we should pay attention to selecting land with higher topography and better drainage and irrigation. You can't plant in the soil where water is easy to accumulate and water is not easy to drain.

The technique of high yield of pumpkin generally adopts the method of parallel grafting of multiple plants, that is, when the pumpkin seedlings grow to about 50 or 60 centimeters, cut off the tip of the main seedlings of the two neighboring seedlings with a knife, and then tie up the two seedlings that have been cut off their tips. Usually, new seedlings will grow after two or three days.

3. Field management

When the melon seedling grows up to about two meters, we should remove the top of the melon vine in time, so that it will grow more vines, which will help to increase the yield. at the same time, we can build some shelves to help the melon seedlings to grow on the shelf. this can also avoid the injury caused by vines hitting Rain Water by hand, reduce diseases and insects, and improve the probability of melon formation.

4. Pre-disease

Pumpkin usually disease will be relatively few, the most common is powdery mildew, but its harm is very great, it will directly affect the growth of pumpkin, resulting in poor quality of pumpkin, so timely treatment, we generally use spray 2000 times of Fenru Ning EC, 200 times of water agent or 1500 times of spray.
