How do you plant pumpkin seeds? Can I plant it directly? Autumn pumpkin planting is fastidious!

Pumpkin warm, sweet, into the spleen, stomach two meridians, can moisten the lungs, expectoration, detoxification, treatment of cough, asthma, lung carbuncle, constipation and other diseases, so deeply loved by consumers, the planting area is also expanding year by year, so how to grow pumpkin seeds? Can I plant it directly? What are the matters needing attention in autumn pumpkin planting?

How to plant pumpkin seeds? Can I plant it directly?

Pumpkin seeds must be soaked before planting in order to facilitate germination.

The specific methods of sowing are:

Soak the seeds in 55 to 60 ℃ hot water for 15 minutes, kill the bacteria on the surface of the seed coat, then cool them in cold water to 30 ℃, soak for 4 to 6 hours, wrap them in a wet cloth or towel and germinate to about 0.3cm at 25 to 30 ℃.

It can be planed according to 50 cm plant spacing, planing one ridge and one ridge, so that the plant row spacing is 50 × 120 cm, which is conducive to ventilation and light transmission and disease prevention.

First water in the rice, after water infiltration, put 2 seeds flat per mu, seed buds face down, cover 2 to 3 cm fine soil, conditional plastic film can be covered, in fact, pumpkin row spacing is large, not much film is used, and only 10 yuan per mu is invested. But when covered with plastic film, we must break the bumpy cover, make the plastic film close to the ridge surface, tighten around and press into the soil, otherwise the effect of plastic film is not obvious, and the seedling generally does not need to be watered. When melon seedlings grow to 3 true leaves, choose large seedlings with strong plants and complete cotyledons. One plant is left in each plant, and the rest is cut off from the ground.

Second, what are the matters needing attention in autumn pumpkin planting?

1. Select variety

Good varieties should be selected. Seed dressing with new high fat membrane (which can be mixed with seed coating agent) can ward off underground diseases and insects, isolate virus infection, do not affect germination and swelling function, strengthen respiratory intensity and improve seed germination rate.

two。 Sowing and raising seedlings

Autumn pumpkins had better be sown from mid-July to early August. It is best to use a nutrition bowl, the radicle down to cover 1 cm 1.5 cm thick fine soil, and then covered with a layer of straw or weeds.

3. Land preparation and planting

Before cultivated land, should apply rotten farm manure, potassium sulfate compound fertilizer, potassium sulfate, deep ploughing fine rake. However, planting should be carried out after 5 pm or on a cloudy day. Watering once after planting or direct seeding and spraying new high-fat film can effectively prevent aboveground water from evaporation, seedling water from transpiration, isolation from diseases and insect pests, shorten slow seedling period, quickly adapt to the new environment and grow healthily.

4. Field management

When pumpkin has 3 or 4 true leaves, spraying Huawang No. 3 can inhibit the crazy growth of main shoot, promote flower bud differentiation, blossom more, improve the quality of pollen fertilization, blossom and set melon more, prevent fruit drop and promote development. In addition, Zhuangguatiling was sprayed in the young fruit stage and fruit expansion stage to strengthen the directional transport of nutrients, promote the rapid development of melon body, and have no falling flowers, no falling melon, no crack melon and no deformed melon in the growth cycle. At the same time, a new high-fat film must be sprayed to form a protective film to prevent germs from invading and improve the quality of pumpkins.

Generally speaking, the average purchase price of pumpkin is between 0.6 yuan / jin and 0.8 yuan / jin, and the peak price can reach 1.2-1.5 yuan / jin. Growers should try their best to control the input cost at 15001,800 yuan per mu. If the yield reaches 4000 jin, the purchase price will not lose money between 0.5 and 0.6 yuan, and the yield will reach 6000 jin per mu.
