Planting techniques of wax gourd in greenhouse

First prepare the seedbed and nursery plate, and then sow the high-quality and full seeds in the seedbed after soaking, dressing and sprouting. Pour water once before sowing, cover thin soil after sowing, and then cover plastic film and small arch shed. It can be planted when 3 true leaves are grown. After planting, we should pay attention to maintain the temperature and humidity in the basin, and do a good job in field management at the same time.

Greenhouse wax gourd field management:

1. Prophase management

The early management of the greenhouse is mainly heat preservation. The temperature in the shed is generally 30-35 ℃. If it is above 35 ℃, it will be moderately released. After 4-5 days of planting, the seedlings entered the stage of growth and development, and vine shedding began after 10 days. Don't forget the work of ploughing and loosening the soil and squatting seedlings. If the wax gourd grows well, then the squatting time needs to be longer, otherwise, it will be shorter.

two。 Fruit-setting period management

You can use Zigualing dipped in melons. At the same time, root melons must be abandoned in order to ensure the quality of single melons. In addition, it is necessary to ensure sufficient water and apply high potassium fertilizer during the expansion period of melons. The frequency of irrigation is about a week, and so is fertilization.

3. Pest control

Blight, anthrax, powdery mildew, aphids, whitefly and mites are common diseases and insect pests during the planting of wax gourd. Scientific management is the main means to control diseases and insect pests. In addition, it is equally important to strengthen the arrangement of insect prevention nets and the management of water and fertilizer.

Take the prevention and control of aphids as an example: aphids will enhance the spread of viral diseases, so great efforts should be made to control them. It can be sprayed with 10% cypermethrin 2000 times and 20% imidacloprid 3000-4000 times. Usually spray once in 3-5 days, 3 times in a row. As aphids have strong drug resistance, it is necessary to change pesticides frequently. Spray pesticides on the leaves so that more aphids can be killed.

The cultivation technique of wax gourd is simple and the management is not difficult. And planting in greenhouse can be planted for two seasons, and the output value per mu is better than that of open field cultivation, so it is a vegetable variety with good development prospect.
