Planting techniques of golden towel gourd

Golden towel gourd is the towel gourd with golden skin and pulp. It is a relatively rare high-quality gourd and a variant variety of zucchini. At present, it is also being planted in many areas. What are the planting techniques of golden towel gourd?

1. Land selection and preparation

Field reserve towel gourd has a strong adaptability to the environment, generally can grow pumpkin, zucchini and other gourd soil can be used to grow golden towel gourd. Secondly, the method of soil preparation is similar to planting zucchini, deep turning low, cleaning up the impurities in the field, disinfecting and insecticidal, sprinkling with sufficient farm manure or organic fertilizer, you can open ditches to prepare for sowing.

2. Sowing method

(1) sowing time: about February.

(2) sowing methods: there are direct seeding and seedling transplanting, in which direct seeding usually digs holes according to a certain density, then sprinkles three or four seeds in each hole, and finally covers the soil to cover the seeds. Seedling transplanting also needs to prepare the seedbed, then spread the seeds evenly on the seedbed, and finally gently pat the seeds into the soil and cover with a layer of straw to prepare the seedlings.

3. Field management technology

(1) Seedling replacement: when the golden towel gourd seedlings grow to about 10-12cm, transplanting and replenishing seedlings can be carried out. In general, only two seedlings are left in each hole, and the excess seedlings can be pulled out and used for transplanting or replenishing seedlings. When the melon seedlings grow to about 20 centimeters, they should be planted according to the density of 1.5 meters between rows and one meter between plants.

(2) fertilization requirements: about four or five days after planting, fertilization is mainly based on nitrogen fertilizer, or can be irrigated with fecal and urine water. Melon seedlings generally need to be fertilized for about two or three times during the growing period. Then fertilizer is applied before flowering and after setting melons, mainly potash fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer.

(3) timely scaffolding: wait until a week later to build a support under each towel gourd seedling, and then use the rope to pull the melon seedling to the support to grow, which can not only reduce the disease, but also enhance the permeability in the field and increase the yield of towel gourd.

(4) Interploughing weeding: when the melon seedlings grow to about 30 centimeters, we should carry out a ploughing weeding, the weeding should be light, do not hurt the roots of the melon seedlings.

(5) Water requirements: generally speaking, if there is no rain within one to two days after planting, appropriate watering is needed, followed by later watering. It needs to be decided according to the water demand of melon seedlings, and it should also be noted that when Rain Water is more, it must be drained in time, so as to avoid stagnant water in the field and cause diseases.

(6) Disease and pest control: the disease resistance of golden towel gourd is very strong, and the diseases and insect pests are very few. The most common diseases are virus disease and powdery mildew. Virus diseases can be treated with Ningnanmycin water, while powdery mildew is generally treated with flusilazole. The main pest is aphids, we can use dimethoate or rotenone EC to kill, at the same time the effect of trichlorfon is also very good.

Generally speaking, the golden towel gourd is still very easy to grow, as long as you select the land, sow the seeds in the ground and let them germinate and grow seedlings, and do a good job of water and fertilizer, setting up frames, pest control and other work after growing seedlings.
