Pumpkin is a very popular vegetable in China, which is rich in nutritional value and has a large planting area in China. The management of pumpkin during planting is very important, which directly affects the yield and quality of pumpkin. If it can not be put on the market in time after harvest, then we also need to do a good job in the storage and preservation of pumpkins. So how to store pumpkins? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Stacking

First of all, we should choose healthy and wound-free high-quality pumpkins, and then stack them directly indoors. Before stacking, lay a layer of hay straw on the indoor floor, and then pile pumpkins on it. When stacking, it should be noted that the direction of the pumpkin should be consistent with the growth state, so that the pedicel is facing inward and the melon top is facing outward. Once again, it's stacked in circles. The number of each pile is kept at about 20 and the height is about 5. Pay attention to keeping the passageway for people to walk, so that it is easy to see. During storage, if the temperature is high, then ventilation should be done at night. Avoid direct sunlight during the day and keep the indoor air dry and fresh.

2. Cellar

Cellar is also a common storage method of pumpkin, but it is very important for the selection of pumpkin. The second melon on the main vine should be selected. if it is a root melon, it is not suitable to choose cellar as the main storage method. During the pumpkin growth period, try not to let the pumpkin touch the ground and avoid direct sunlight. Pay attention to the strength when harvesting, avoid mechanical damage to melons, do not roll and throw, and so on. If the inner pulp vibrates, it can easily lead to melon rot. After harvest, melons should be placed at a temperature of about 25 degrees for about half a month. The storage capacity of pumpkin can be improved by hardening the skin of pumpkin.

Or you can use crates, spread a layer of straw at the bottom of the box, and then stack the melon seeds and store them. The ventilation and heat dissipation capacity of the frame storage is relatively strong, and the storage capacity is also relatively large, so it is easy to check.
