What are the methods of applying fertilizer to wax gourd and matters needing attention?

Wax gourd is a very common vegetable, which is grown all over our country. Wax gourd can be used not only as a vegetable, but also as a medicinal peel and seed. In the process of planting wax gourd, the method of fertilization is very important. What are the methods and points for attention of wax gourd?

1. Fertilization methods of wax gourd

1. Wax gourd needs base fertilizer

Wax gourd has a longer growth cycle and larger fruit, which requires that the fertilizer should be mainly organic fertilizer, supplemented by chemical fertilizer. Because this kind of organic fertilizer can bring a lot of nutrients to the growing wax gourd and ensure the nutrients needed at all stages of the wax gourd. Generally, 2500-3000 kg of barnyard manure and 2500-4000 kg of compost can be used as base fertilizer per mu of wax gourd, as well as 500,750kg of rotten human manure, 1000 kg of rotten pig and cow manure, 50-75kg of calcium superphosphate or calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer and 50100kg of soil miscellaneous fertilizer. Vegetable farmers can mix 40-75 kg of cake fertilizer in the base fertilizer if they can.

two。 Appropriate amount of topdressing

Topdressing of wax gourd generally follows the fertilization method of "first light and then heavy, first light and then thick". It is only necessary to apply dilute manure water two or three times in the early growth stage of wax gourd. When the wax gourd vine grows to about 80 cm, dilute dung water can be applied every 4 days or so. When wax gourd grows to set melon, the frequency of manure application can be increased appropriately, and at the same time, the concentration of dung water should be increased to ensure sufficient nutrients. When the wax gourd weighs about 18 jin, irrigation techniques should be used to fight drought, and some thin human manure and pig manure should be added when fertilizing.

3. Re-application of strong melon fertilizer

As soon as the young fruit is produced on the wax gourd vine, Zhuangguatiling can be sprayed, which can make the melon stalk grow sturdy and sturdy, strengthen the nutrient transport and accelerate the growth of wax gourd fruit. When the fruit grows to about 3 kilograms, we should pay attention to the management of fertilizer and water. Under normal circumstances, the soil of the melon land should be kept moist, and stagnant water should be removed in time after heavy rain.

II. Matters needing attention in fertilization of wax gourd

1. No partial application of nitrogen fertilizer

Many melon farmers attach great importance to the fertilizer use of wax gourd, and often begin to apply nitrogen fertilizers such as manure, ammonium sulfate and urea intensively at the seedling stage of wax gourd, even in the later stage of wax gourd growth, which is likely to induce the occurrence of wax gourd rot and cause large area withering of wax gourd.

two。 Fertilize according to the weather

Fertilizing wax gourd is usually chosen when the weather is clear, which can maximize the effect of fertilizer. Special attention should be paid not to topdressing before and after the heavy rain, not only the fertilizer does not have the desired effect, but also increases the chance of disease.

Planting wax gourd is a technology. if we want to have a high yield of wax gourd, we must understand its habits, master the methods of fertilizer application and matters needing attention, so that we can plant wax gourd correctly.
