The field management of the latest gourd

Gourd is an annual vine that can be eaten as a vegetable when it is immature. Moreover, the seeds of the gourd also had antidiarrheal effects, such as vomiting, and diuresis. Now the cultivation area of gourd in our country is very extensive, so how should we manage it when planting? The following small series brings you the field management of gourd. Let's take a look together!

1. Management of germination period

The period between seed germination and leaf emergence is the seedling stage of cucurbits. Under normal management, it will usually be unearthed about a week after sowing. When the seedlings are unearthed, the film should be broken in time according to the growth of the seedlings to improve the permeability of the field. Prevent excessive humidity in the field due to poor permeability. Cause ponding retting root rot seedlings and other undesirable phenomena. Therefore, we should break the membrane in time after the seedlings are unearthed, and open a small hole at the bottom of the seedlings to expose the seedlings, but not to hurt the seedlings.

2. Seedling management

The seedling stage of cucurbit is in the growth stage of 1-5 true leaves of seedlings. The seedling stage lasts about a month, and the soil should be kept moist during the seedling stage. If you find that there is a lack of water and drought phenomenon, then small drops of water should be irrigated once, water should not be too much, to prevent retting roots. Then do a good job of erecting frames to facilitate the growth of gourd vines. When setting up the rack, pay attention to controlling the position between the bottom of the rack and the seedlings, not too close to prevent damage to the roots of the seedlings. Then fix the frame to prevent the wind from falling and affecting the growth of the gourd.

3. Extension management

After the seedling stage comes the tendril stage, which lasts until the first female flower opens. The main growth direction of calabash in tendril extension stage is vegetative growth. At this time, the root growth speed of calabash plant accelerates and the leaf area increases. At this time, we should pay attention to the pruning and vine binding work. When the gourd vine grows vertically to a certain height, it cannot continue upward. If it is not well managed, it will lead to bending and affect normal growth. Therefore, we should timely lead tendrils to tie tendrils and promote vertical growth of tendrils towards bamboo poles. Then also do a good job of picking buds, picking seeds, cultivating and weeding, and concentrating nutrients on gourds.

4. Management of expansion period

When the gourd enters the fruiting period, it is necessary to pay attention to the fruit thinning work. Usually, one branch can retain one fruit. It is convenient for nutrition concentration. Pay attention to the growth of fruits, timely remove small fruits, abnormal fruits, etc., and timely remove old and weak leaves, insect pests and leaves, etc. to prevent excessive nutrient consumption and affect fruit expansion. The growth rate of gourd expansion period is very fast, so we should pay attention to timely watering and fertilization to meet the needs of fruit expansion for nutrients and water. Then appropriate weight sharing for the melon, gourd handle tied to the wire, reduce fruit drop phenomenon.

The above is a brief introduction to the management of the gourd field. The field management of gourd should be adjusted reasonably according to the different growth stages of gourd. Only in this way can the growth of gourd be guaranteed and the planting efficiency be improved. Today's introduction is here, this article is for reference only, thank you for reading and support.
