The latest planting method of octagonal melon
Eight-sided gourd, also known as Guangdong towel gourd, it is a kind of towel gourd, because the fruit surface has 8 edges, so the name eight-rowed gourd, it originated in India, now cultivated in various parts of our country. It tastes sweeter than towel gourd and is more popular in the market, so how to grow it? Let's take a look.
1. Land selection and preparation
Octagonal melon has no strict need to go to the soil, but it is required to choose ventilated and sunny, more than 500 meters above sea level, and sandy loam with good drainage, so as to avoid the high temperature in summer affecting the yield and quality of octagonal melon. After selecting the planting land, ploughing the soil, building it into a 4-meter-wide soil, and applying base fertilizer on the edge of the border, the yield of eight-rowed melon is very high, so for more fertilizer, it is generally necessary to apply 1000 kg of fence fertilizer, 20 kg of compound fertilizer and 2000 kg of human dung every year.
2. Sowing seeds
It is usually direct seeded in the open field when planting, in order to avoid breaking the root when transplanting, so the way of direct seeding is adopted, the seeds are sunned for one day before sowing, then soak in warm hot water for 15 minutes, and then soak for 4 hours. Remove and dry the seeds with plant ash, open holes and sow seeds on the border surface, pay attention to control the distance between holes, maintain the permeability between plants, generally sow two seeds per hole. Watering after covering the soil, and then covering with plastic film to keep warm and moisturizing, in order to facilitate the emergence of seedlings, the film should be broken in time after emergence.
3. Field management
When the heart leaves grow out of the seedlings, it is necessary to fix the seedlings in time, leaving only one plant in one blood, removing the redundant thin seedlings and leaving strong seedlings. After fixing the seedling, apply fertilizer and water to promote the seedling vine growth, wait for the seedling vine growth to wait for about 1 meter, at this time to increase the amount of fertilizer, and to the fruit period to increase the number of fertilization, fertilizing once after each harvest. Set up a shed to draw vines in time after one month, build a large flat shed between the rows of plants, three-dimensional cultivation, stand in time after spitting vines, for climbing and growth of branches.
4. Pruning
In order to promote the growth of the main vine, the elongated lateral branches and flower buds at the base of the main vine can be removed. When the main vine grows to the scaffolding, the top and male should be removed in time, and the lateral branches should be cut off, leaving 2-3 strong lateral branches reasonably. But also timely removal of old leaves, yellow leaves, and too many male flowers, reduce nutrient consumption, so that more nutrients supply fruit branches, promote more blossom and fruit, and increase yield.
