August to September.

After pollination, it develops into obovate compound flowers, about 5 cm long, bracts at the base, papillae at the top of the fruit, and persistent sepals. The fruit ripens in August to September. When ripe, the pericarp (exocarp) is dark brown, and the seeds are scattered outward by itself. Seeds white or pale.

cultivation techniques

alternatively

Land preparation should be selected mountain gentle slope and good drainage flat planting, soil to sandy loam and clay loam can be. Combined with winter tillage, 3000 kg farm manure is applied per mu as base fertilizer, and 30-40 kg calcium superphosphate is applied at the same time. Finely raked flat to make a 1.2-meter-wide bed.

propagation method

reproduce by seed. Winter or spring sowing. Winter sowing before freezing, spring sowing after thawing, select dark color, full seeds, in the ridge by row spacing 30 cm for drilling. Cover soil 1 cm, a little suppression, watering, generally about 15 days can emerge. One kilogram of seed per acre.

field management

(1) Thinning and supplementary seedling production can be divided into two times of thinning. For the first time, from late November to early December, when the seedlings are about 5 cm high and have 4-6 true leaves, the seedlings are thinned according to the plant spacing of 5-6 cm; when the seedlings grow to 6-8 true leaves in the middle of February, the seedlings are fixed according to the plant spacing of 10-12 cm. If the seedlings are to be replanted, they should be transplanted with soil and then watered.

(2) The topdressing growth period is short, so it is mainly based on the application of sufficient base fertilizer. The topdressing is mainly carried out when the plants begin to bud in early April, and the fertilizer seeds are mainly phosphorus and potassium. 30-40 kg cake fertilizer can be applied per mu, and watering should be immediately after application; 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can also be sprayed on the leaves for 3-4 consecutive times at intervals of about 10 days to promote fruit fullness.

(3) intertillage weeding should be carried out after the dew is dry on a sunny day, and the time is good for the advance of pregnant buds. Weeding should not be carried out in the later stage of growth, so as not to damage buds. Pay attention to drainage in rainy season.

pest control

(1) Black spot disease starts in April and damages leaves. Control method: Soak seeds with 500 times solution of 70% thiophanate-methyl; spray with 800 times solution of 40% carbendazim or 1000 times solution of 20% thiophanate-methyl at the early stage of disease.

(2) Red spiders occur in May and June and damage leaves. The occurrence period can be controlled by spraying 1000 times solution of 20% amitraz EC.
