When does balsam pear play?

Balsam pear moderate common vegetables, fruity sweet and bitter, but properly cooked is also a delicious dish, with heat-clearing and detoxification and other effects. Many people have the experience of planting, so when does balsam pear play?

When does balsam pear play begin?

When the melon seedlings grow to 50-60 cm, they can play tricks. After introducing the vine to the shed, remove the short, weak, dense, aging and diseased branches and leaves of the main vine below 50 cm from the ground and the short, weak, dense, senile and diseased branches and leaves that do not bear female flowers in the upper part.

Second, when does balsam pear usually grow seedlings?

1. Variety selection

When selecting balsam pear varieties, we should choose green and white varieties with strong growth potential, strong branching ability, heat resistance, disease resistance, high yield, and suitable for regional consumption habits, such as Zidu brand Changbai balsam pear, Qingfeng balsam pear, Zhuzhou Changbai balsam pear and so on. Green and white balsam pear with green and white body balsam pear, jade green and white balsam pear, Pearl 101, Yushuai, Canila, etc., oil body balsam pear with hybrid oil body balsam pear, pearl balsam pear and so on.

two。 Raising seedlings

It is suitable to sow seeds from September to February of the following year in winter and spring and from July to August in autumn. The balsam pear interplanted with balsam pear was sown in mid-late January. Before sowing, the seeds were soaked to promote sprouting, and the seedlings were transferred to a nutrition bowl for 2-3 days after sowing. The temperature of the seedling shed was kept at 25-30 ℃ during the day and 15-18 ℃ at night, with less watering and more light. Starting from the two true leaves of the seedlings, they were treated with Momordica charantia Zengchengling once every 3-4 days for a total of 3 times.

3. Colonization

According to the growth characteristics of balsam pear, the loam with abundant sunshine, rich organic matter, good drainage and water conservation, deep soil layer and continuous cropping should be avoided and should be rotated with non-melon crops for more than 3 years.

Balsam pear seedlings are planted on the border on both sides of the greenhouse and on the border in the middle, digging holes in the middle of the border and applying a little compound fertilizer. The plant spacing of pruning is 50 cm, and that of non-pruning is 100 cm. When planting, the root should not be in direct contact with the compound fertilizer, the cotyledons should be exposed to the ground, and the root water should be irrigated after planting.

4. Field management

Intertillage: the first intertillage 4-5 days after watering root water, with a depth of 7-10 cm, and the second intertillage 2 weeks later, with a depth of 3-5 cm. No longer ploughing after setting up a fight.

Topdressing: at least 2-3 times of topdressing should be carried out in the cultivation of balsam pear. The first topdressing was carried out 2-3 days after planting in the sunny evening, and the rarefied human feces and urine were applied, and the second was applied before flowering to promote melon fruiting. The third time was applied after two harvests, and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were used together. In addition to topdressing on the ground, it can also be foliar topdressing to promote the vigorous growth of plants.

Set up and draw vines: when the seedlings grow 50-60 meters high, insert bamboo and draw vines in time, using double-row herringbone frames, balsam pear is mainly composed of main vines, when the first female flower appears in the main vine, start pruning, erase the lateral buds or branches below 1 meter of the main vine, remove the old yellow leaves under the plant in the later growth stage, and cut off the old and weak vines without melons.

5. Timely harvest

Generally, 15 days after harvest, the top of the fruit begins to shine and the shoulder verrucous process is thick and full. properly shortening the harvest interval can promote the formation of female flowers, which is of great significance to prolong the fruit and increase the yield.

It is necessary to shoot balsam pear, it has strong branching ability, if it is allowed to grow, it will cause overdense branches and leaves, consume nutrients, and poor air permeability between plants, prone to diseases and insect pests, but also affect the normal growth, flowering and fruiting of its main vines.
