The latest summer squash high-yield cultivation techniques tutorial

Zucchini, also known as eggplant melon, is a variant variety of pumpkin, which is similar to cucumber in appearance and has high nutritional value. It has the effect of clearing heat and relieving thirst, detumescence and knot. With the increasing market demand for it, many areas are growing it, but in order to maximize the income, we need to master high-yield cultivation techniques. Let's take a look at the high-yield cultivation techniques of zucchini.

1. Site selection and seed selection

Zucchini has a certain degree of drought tolerance, but is afraid of waterlogging, so it is suitable to be planted on slopes with loose and sunny soil. before planting, it is necessary to know whether the previous crop is in conflict with it, and to check the problem of drug residues, which is now a big problem in the planting industry. in serious cases, it will cause drug damage and no harvest. After selecting the land suitable for planting, it is necessary to choose high-quality varieties, and select the excellent varieties with early maturity, high yield and fast growth, preferably the zucchini hybrids with trailing characteristics.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings

Before sowing, the seeds should be treated to improve the budding rate. First, the seeds should be soaked in warm water or soaked in warm water, or mixed with chemicals to eliminate the bacteria to be avoided, reduce the diseases in the seedling stage, and make the seedlings grow healthily. The time of sowing depends on the local climate and stubble, with autumn sowing in September, winter greenhouse sowing in October and spring sowing in November. Sowing rate has some strict standards, generally sowing about 400g per mu, sowing deep to 3cm, fertilizing and medicating after sowing to eliminate weeds.

3. Colonization

When the seedling can be planted, it should be planted in time, and the planting density should be based on the variety and growth of the seedling. However, if it is a variety with large plant type and strong growth, it can be sparsely planted properly. It is suggested that the plant spacing 80cm, row spacing 140,800-100plants per mu can be planted in 80cm*80cm.

4. Fertilizer and water management

Zucchini has strong drought resistance, so the requirement of water is not high. It can be watered once during soil preparation in the early stage, and can be watered in combination with fertilization in the later stage. Zucchini fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer, can be nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, before planting, apply 5000-7000kg per mu of fully mature organic fertilizer, apply a small amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Watering once in the seedling stage, topdressing urea once can help slow down the seedlings, in addition, watering and topdressing once in the melon fruiting stage to ensure the nutrient supply of melon, to the full fruit stage, fertilizer and water management is particularly important, need to be watered and fertilized once every semimonthly, urea 10kg per mu, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer 30kg or completely mature organic fertilizer 400-500kg.

5. Field management

Field management mainly includes mid-tillage weeding, temperature and light management, pruning and setting up vines, artificial pollination and so on, generally carrying out intermediate ploughing and weeding twice a year, the first time in the seedling stage, when the seedlings grow to 20cm, the second time when there are 5-6 leaves, the later stage depends on the soil condition. Blossom and bear fruit when the temperature can not exceed 30 degrees, night can not be lower than 15 degrees, in addition to maintain sufficient light, long-term rainy weather can be artificial light. Timely pruning can increase planting density, prolong growth period, bear melons early and increase yield. Artificial pollination is needless to say, because for some reasons, when pollination is poor or unable to pollinate, it is necessary to carry out artificial pollination to increase yield.
