When will the mangy melon be sown?

Mangy gourd is commonly known as balsam pear, which has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxification, nourishing skin and nourishing skin. Many rural areas will plant some mangy melons, so when will they be sown?

When will the mangy melon be sown?

The mangy melon is sown in spring from December to April of the following year, and from June to September in autumn. Soak the seeds to promote sprouting before sowing. In early spring, it is appropriate to use nutrition bowl to raise seedlings and transplant, pay attention to cold prevention, and cover with small arch shed with thin film. Qiu Zhi is mainly live broadcast.

2. Cultivation techniques of mangy melon

1. Leprosy melons are not strict on land and can be planted in all kinds of soil. But its root system is more developed, there are many lateral roots, and the root group is wide, fertilizer-tolerant and barren-tolerant, like wet and avoid waterlogging. Therefore, it is better to choose land close to water source, deep soil layer, loose and good drainage. Before planting, the land should be ploughed, retted and raked to make it deep, loose, fertilizer, broken and flat, so as to lay the foundation for high yield.

two。 Sowing time: autumn planting period is generally from June to September, this period of climate is suitable, easy to manage, long harvest time, high yield. The planting period of mangy melon in winter is from December to April of the following year. Due to the low temperature in winter, plastic film mulching should be adopted when planting, and the integrated irrigation technique of water and fertilizer under plastic film should be implemented. It can not only preserve fertilizer and water, increase soil temperature, promote normal growth and development of seedlings, increase yield, but also save labor and cost.

3. Fertilization: when sowing and planting, first plough the ditch according to the planting specifications, dig holes in the ditch, use 100kg superphosphate per mu of high-quality soil fertilizer or Niulan fertilizer 1000-500kg vegetable high-concentration compound fertilizer 7-8kg, borax 1.5kg applied evenly in the hole, and then sow the seeds in the hole, each hole seeds can not directly contact fertilizer, and then sprinkle enough water.

4. Build a shed: when the seedlings grow to 5-6 true leaves, bamboo should be planted in time to build a shed. Scaffolding is generally built with "∏" scaffolding, so that branches are evenly distributed on the scaffolding. When the melon seedlings grow to 50-60 cm, they can lead the vines to the shed. Generally lead the main vine straight up along the support (rope), lateral vines to the left and right direction of the support, the time to draw the vine in a sunny afternoon. The mangy melon has strong branching and many lateral vines, and some lateral vines do not bear melons. After introducing the vine to the shed, the lateral vine whose base of the main vine is less than 50 cm from the ground and the short, weak, over-dense, senile and diseased branches and leaves that do not bear female flowers should be removed in time, so that the population can be ventilated and transparent, improve photosynthesis and light energy utilization, and reduce nutrient consumption, which is beneficial to flowering and fruiting.

5. Fertilization: the integrated management of water and fertilizer should be carried out for fertilization, and the principle of "light application at seedling stage and repeated application at flowering and fruit stage" should be grasped, which can not only ensure the normal growth and development of vine leaves, but also meet the nutrient needs of continuous flowering and fruiting. In the integrated management of water and fertilizer, it should be applied flexibly according to seedling conditions and weather changes. Application of topdressing fertilizer per mu: dilute manure water or high concentration melon formula fertilizer water 1-2 times before 5 leaves; before flowering and fruiting: 15-20 kg calcium superphosphate, 12-18 kg urea and 8-10 kg potassium chloride, once every 7-10 days, divided into 2-3 times. After flowering and fruiting: urea 20-35 kg, potassium chloride 15-20 kg, once every 7-10 days, divided into 4-6 times, spraying trace element foliar fertilizer 3-4 times.

6. Watering: mangy melons like to be moist, avoid stagnant water, in the use of water can be carried out according to the dry and wet soil. In general, the sun evaporates violently in sunny days, and the water disappears quickly, so it is necessary to irrigate in time to ensure its physiological water requirements, avoid drought and wilt, and affect plant growth and development, flowering and fruiting. In case of heavy rain, drainage should be done in time, so as not to cause root rot caused by stagnant water in the field.

The nutritional value of leprosy melon is very high, very suitable for summer to eat, can effectively clear heat and detoxification, nourish skin, nourish blood and nourish liver, but the taste is a little bitter, some people may not like to eat.
