Matters needing attention in the latest planting of bergamot

Chayote originated in Mexico and was introduced into China in the early 19th century. Chayote is the most widely cultivated in southern China. We may not have heard of chayote, but most have eaten, chayote meat is very tender, contains high nutritional value, to enhance the body's resistance has a good effect. So what should I pay attention to when planting chayote? Today, Xiaobian brought the precautions for planting chayote. Let's take a look together!

1. Temperature

Chayote is more resistant to high temperatures, the normal growth and development temperature can not be lower than 20 degrees, the most suitable temperature for Chayote growth is about 25 degrees, if the ground temperature is lower than 5 degrees, Chayote will not grow and cause death. However, the temperature should not be too high, more than the appropriate temperature range of its growth rate will be significantly slowed down, affecting its growth.

2. Light

Chayote does not require much light, it is a short-day vegetable, but it still needs a certain amount of light, if a few hours of light are not met. Then its growth rate will gradually slow down, and photosynthesis will also be reduced, unable to produce enough nutrients, so that its growth and development will be hindered.

3. Moisture

The growth of chayote requires a lot of water, especially in the summer of each year, if there is no higher water content, then its growth and development will also be affected. Ensure that the relative humidity in the air and the soil are sufficiently moist, if not satisfied, the stems of the chayote will stop growing, the leaves will change color, and if there is not enough moisture at the flowering stage, the flowering rate will also be affected.

4. Soil

The cultivation of chayote has no strict requirements for the soil, but the fertile soil, deep loose soil is more suitable for its growth. Therefore, when selecting soil for garden construction, we should try our best to meet the requirements mentioned above. The nitrogen element in the soil should not be too much, so as to avoid the phenomenon of excessive growth of plants. The same is true when fertilizing, and attention should be paid to the balance of nutrients.

5, seedling

Each fruit of chayote only one seed, and germination rate is not high, because the seed coat and pulp is difficult to separate, so we have to germinate seeds at the same time. Before sowing, seed soaking and seedling raising should be done well, and the seed coat should be slightly opened with a knife, which is conducive to germination. Apply it into the planting hole, cover about 3 cm of soil, bury the melon in about 1/3 of the soil, and germinate it.

6. Water and fertilizer

Chayote in June to control the amount of watering before, after June, is the rapid growth stage of Chayote, then to ensure that the soil is always wet state. Generally, after planting, it is necessary to irrigate a fertilizer. The amount of fertilizer required for chayote is very large. Almost every month, topdressing work should be carried out once. General topdressing in the distance of 50-70cm away from the plant ditch fertilization, available farm manure or compound fertilizer. The distance needs to grow longer with time.

Well, the above is the place to pay attention to when planting chayote, although the current market demand is not very clear. However, after all, China is a "gourmet country" and the market for chayote will gradually increase. Xiaobian thinks that it is still very promising, so everyone can consider it if they have conditions. Today's presentation is here, I hope this article can help everyone.
