How to plant gourd seeds with high survival rate?

Gourd can not only eat, but also has a high ornamental value, and directly sowing with gourd seeds can grow their own gourd, but also make many people eager to try. So how to plant cucurbit seeds to have a high survival rate?

First, cucurbit seeds are planted in the open field

1. Seed selection and nursery

The cucurbit seeds imported from Japan are selected, the seeds are full, the precision is high, and the germination rate is more than 95%.

2. Field transplanting and field management

It is best to choose the land with flat terrain, fertile soil and close to the water source, and try not to choose the land where the previous crop is watermelon, cantaloupe or vegetables, which can reduce the occurrence of diseases. Each plant dug a large pit with a diameter of 60 cm and a depth of 30 cm, and each pit was filled with rotten agricultural fertilizer and chemical fertilizer. Transplanting began at the end of May. Field management: timely power, pruning, artificial pollination.

3. Harvest and processing of finished products

Gourd can be picked after the gourd grows to 10ml 20cm, so it does not affect the growth of other gourds. Do not let the gourd grow old and then pick it. Each seedling can grow 3mu and yield 0.5-7500 kg per mu.

2. Potted planting of cucurbit seeds

1. Flowerpot selection

The size of the flowerpot (number 10) should be moderate. Choose fertile soil before potting, use loose acid soil, mixed with soil fertilizer, alkali soil and consolidated soil are not available. The soil should be ventilated and well drained. And mix it with the corrosive soil or green manure of the cultivated soil used in plastic flowerpots sold on the market according to the ratio of 1 to 3.

2. Management of cucurbit seeds after sowing

(1) watering

Potted gourds are very easy to dry and should be watered once a day when the vines begin to spread. In the hot summer season, water should be watered twice a day.

(2) setting up a frame

Support four pillars on the flowerpot to make it fixed, 50 inches higher than the surface of the flowerpot, and make a 90-degree grid scaffolding. Pinch the vine when the mother vine grows to 4 mi 5 leaves, leaving 2 daughter vines to spread upward. When you climb to the top of the shed, you should pinch the vine and make its 2 grandvines extend upward. When Sun Meng grew to 5 branches and leaves, he began to pinch the tip, so that the fruit grew out of the great-grandson vine.

(3) Disease and pest control

The main disease to control diseases and insect pests is powdery mildew, and the main pests are aphids. The plum rain season is a period of high incidence of powdery mildew, and potted gourds are most susceptible to disease if they are placed in places with poor ventilation.

Warm Tip: at present, many varieties of gourd have been bred at home and abroad, such as apple gourd, Xinjiang gourd, pimple gourd, bergamot gourd, hand twist gourd and so on.
