How to raise seedlings of the latest pumpkin

Pumpkin is planted in all parts of our country, and it has strong adaptability to the environment. Pumpkin is also very simple to grow, but not all pumpkins have a high yield, and there is often a phenomenon of not bearing melons in the process of planting. In fact, the yield of pumpkin has something to do with the cultivation of seedlings. Today, let's first learn about the seedling techniques of pumpkins.

1. Seed selection

Before sowing pumpkins, we need to select the varieties of pumpkins, generally according to the local climate, select the varieties that are most suitable for local growth, and then select the seeds by memory. In general, we will choose seeds with full grains, no external scars, no diseases and insect pests, no mildew, and good quality. The germination rate of such seeds is higher, and the melon setting rate is also higher in the later stage.

2. Seedbed preparation

Pumpkins have no requirements for growing soil, but in order to cultivate robust pumpkin seedlings, we also need to prepare a seedbed. The seedbed of pumpkin can be built indoors or in the open air. Generally, the size of the seedbed is prepared according to the planting scale, which is related to the sowing amount of pumpkin. The permeability of the seedbed should be good, and the fertility should be sufficient, which is beneficial to the emergence of seeds. The nutritive soil in the seedbed can be laid with a mixture of farm rotten fertilizer and loose soil with a thickness of 40 to 50 centimeters.

3. Seed treatment

We also need to treat the seeds before sowing, which is conducive to seed germination. Of course, it is OK not to deal with it, but the speed of emergence will be relatively slow. First of all, soak the seeds in warm water, and keep stirring, usually after 12 hours, remove the water, drain the water, and then put it in an environment with a temperature of about 28 degrees Celsius to promote germination, and wait for the seeds to sprout white.

4. Scientific sowing

Pumpkin seeds are generally sown from the end of February to early March every year, and it is best to mix seeds with carbendazim before sowing, so as to avoid the harm of underground pests to pumpkin seeds. We usually use the way of direct seeding to sow the seeds evenly on the seedbed, and then cover the seeds with a thin layer of nutritious soil. Of course, we can also use the method of webcasting, but this is a little more troublesome than live broadcasting.

5. Seedling stage management

After the pumpkin is sown, we should mainly pay attention to the temperature and humidity management of the seedling bed. After just sowing, the temperature in the seedbed should be about 18 to 25 degrees, which is conducive to the emergence of seeds. After more than half of the seeds have sprouted, the temperature of the seedling bed will only be about 15 to 20 degrees. In the seedling period, to keep the seedbed moist, generally every seven days to water, but the amount of water should not be too large, as long as to ensure that the soil has a certain degree of humidity.
