The latest ways to promote the early ripening of wax gourd

Wax gourd must be very familiar to everyone, because almost every household in the countryside has planted wax gourd, whether it is family planting, or large-scale market planting, its planting area is relatively large. Although its market price may be lower, but its market demand is still relatively large, is the so-called accumulation of more. So in the planting process, how should we promote the ripening of wax gourd and market it as soon as possible? Let's take a look at it together with Xiaobian below!

1. Vine management

The main vine topping in vine management can effectively enhance the photosynthesis of wax gourd. The more leaves, the more fruit yield and quantity. However, although less leaves will have a certain impact on the photosynthesis of wax gourd, but the expansion of fruit will not be affected. Try different ways of adjusting the plant during planting. Although there are many ways to manage vines, experiments have shown that topping the main vine is the best. Because it can not only increase the number of leaves, but also improve the fruit setting rate, so reasonable vine management of wax gourd has greater benefits for its development.

2. Water and fertilizer management

After the successful fruit setting of wax gourd, it is the fastest time for the growth and development of wax gourd. During this period, the stems and leaves will continue to grow rapidly, so sufficient nutrition and water should be ensured to supply the development of wax gourd at this stage. If the planting variety is large wax gourd, then 2-3 weeks after fruit setting is the period of maximum growth of wax gourd. Therefore, at this time, ensure enough fertilizer and water to provide conditions for later growth and development. If it does not meet the needs of fertilizer and water, it will hinder the development of fruit, and when it is serious, it will form a melon. Then according to the growth of each stage of appropriate supplement water and fertilizer.

3. Temperature management

Wax gourd is a kind of thermophilic vegetable, if its temperature is not well controlled, it will have a serious impact on the growth and development of wax gourd. The suitable growth temperature of wax gourd is above 20-25 degrees, and the temperature at night needs to be 5-6 degrees lower than that during the day. If the temperature is lower than 15 degrees, it will inhibit the growth rate of wax gourd, and the expansion of wax gourd in the later stage will be hindered. If the planting is autumn wax gourd, then the seeds should be treated well before the temperature drops. If the sowing time is too late, the germination of wax gourd will be affected due to the low temperature and the yield will be reduced.

4. Fruit setting management

Fruit setting is also very important for winter melon planting. Generally, the position of fruit retention should be around the fourth female flower on the main vine. Because the position of female flowers is different, the degree of nutrient absorption is also different, so the nutritional status of fruits will naturally vary, and the size and growth of fruits are closely related to the position of fruit setting. Therefore, when planting wax gourd, the fruiting node is well selected, which is very important for the quality of the fruit. The most suitable position for leaving fruit is the 3-5 female flower on the main vine.

The above four points are how to promote the introduction of the method of wax gourd ripening, planting wax gourd is relatively simple, but it is more difficult to manage. The planting process should strengthen the management of the vegetable garden. To obtain large fruits or high yields, correct orchard management methods are essential. So you can learn a little bit of management skills before planting and consolidate yourself. This article is for reference only and I hope it will help you.
