Key points of cultivation techniques of balsam pear

Balsam pear cultivation includes soil selection and preparation, timely sowing, reasonable close planting, fertilizer and water management and pest control and so on. Among them, fertilizer and water need to be managed by the integration of water and fertilizer, which can be adjusted according to growth. Let's learn more about it.

What are the key points of cultivation techniques of balsam pear?

1. Land selection and preparation

Balsam pear is not strict on land, and all kinds of soil can be planted. 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 at the right time

Balsam pear seeds are usually sown in spring, but the specific sowing time depends on the local geographical and climatic conditions. For example, Guangzhou can sow seeds in early January, while Beijing needs to wait until the end of March to early April to sow seeds. In addition, the planting period of balsam pear in autumn is generally from July to August, and that in winter is from November to December.

3. Reasonable close planting

If it is cultivated in the open field, first raise seedlings in the greenhouse. The treated balsam pear seeds were sown on the pre-arranged seedling beds, watered thoroughly and covered with fine soil, and the seedlings could be planted at the age of 28-35 days. The planting per mu is about 1300-600plants, the distance is about 60cm, and the base fertilizer should be applied before planting. In addition, after planting, it is necessary to insert the herringbone frame as soon as possible to adapt to its growth.

4. Fertilizer and water management

The integrated management of water and fertilizer should be carried out in the fertilization of balsam pear, 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. Then according to the seedling situation, weather, planting conditions and other actual conditions to make corresponding adjustments, but also in different stages of balsam pear to choose different fertilizers, fertilization, fertilization can not be single.

5. Pest control

The selection of disease-resistant varieties, disinfection of seeds before planting and rational fertilization are all means to prevent diseases and insect pests. For common diseases and insect pests such as quenching disease, anthracnose, powdery mildew, melon aphid, thrips and whitefly, it is necessary to spray pesticides in advance to control them.

In addition to the above points, the construction of scaffolding and timely introduction of vines are also effective means to improve yield and quality, growers must not forget oh.
