Field management of the latest bergamot melon

Chayote is a perennial vegetable of cucurbitaceae, which can also be eaten as fruit. It is generally planted most in the south, grows well and contains a variety of trace elements, so it is loved by many people. The cultivation of chayote focuses on management, general management is the premise of high yield, so today I write an article to introduce the field management technology of chayote.

I. Temperature and light

Long-leaf plants need to be kept between 15 and 25 degrees when growing on the ground is the most suitable temperature, flowering temperature between 20 and 30 degrees is good flowering, and then in the fruiting period of the temperature, the lowest temperature in 20 degrees, the highest in 32 degrees, and then low can not bear fruit, and then high growth will stop and fruit drop. The growth of chayote needs enough light intensity and hours. Generally, it can reach normal growth in summer, but it can be adjusted by itself in greenhouse.

II. Fertilization and irrigation

Base fertilizer is applied about 2000 jin per mu. Applying enough base fertilizer is beneficial to growth, which can avoid fertilizer shortage at seedling stage. If there is no fertilizer shortage at seedling stage, no fertilizer is needed. It can be watered and irrigated once after seedling stage. The main topdressing is used during the flowering and fruiting period. Generally, 100 jin of quick-acting compound fertilizer with good formula is applied once a mu at a time. The whole fruiting period is about once a month. Because there are many batches of results, a lot of nutrients and water are needed, so irrigation should be carried out once a week during the fruiting period to keep consistent dry, wet and wet. But water less during flowering to avoid falling flowers.

III. Cultivated land weeding

After planting, after watering at the seedling stage, weeds germinate in the soil. Because they are too small to be pulled out manually, herbicides must be sprayed in time. Low-toxicity pesticides are selected to not hurt seedlings, and weeds die completely. Weeds will grow up quickly in summer to block the rows and close the space. It is necessary to water and pull them out in time to reduce the humidity. Generally, weeds are vigorous after rain and the soil is hardened. With intertillage, weeds can be turned into green manure.

IV. Plant Adjustment

Planting vines and vegetables must adjust the plants, because the branches grow too vigorously and branch well. In addition to the main vine, 5 to 6 strong branches should be left, and the rest of the redundant branches, weak branches, over-dense branches should be thinned out, and then the top growth points of the branches should be removed before flowering to concentrate nutrition for flowering. Then mainly press the vine, press the vine is to dig a shallow ditch within 10 cm when the vine is 60 cm long, put the vine into the soil and press it, and expose more than 10 cm at the top. After about 40 cm interval pressure, pressure three times.

Chayote planting after the management is the above content, I hope to read the article after some help to those in need. To learn more about agriculture, stay tuned for updates on our website!
