The causes and preventive measures of the latest premature senescence of wax gourd

Wax gourd premature senescence refers to that the planting vitality of wax gourd can not support the wax gourd to complete its life cycle normally, most of which are low or dead when the fruit is not yet mature. Wax gourd grows faster in the late fruiting period, but if it is not properly managed, it will appear premature aging phenomenon, affect the yield and quality, and also cause serious economic losses to farmers. What are the specific reasons for premature aging? How to prevent it? Let's take a look at the pro-farming network together.

1. Low fruit setting

After flowering and fruiting, due to short plant, poor growth, resulting in fewer individuals, weak growth, especially the small area of leaves, resulting in less nutrients synthesized by photosynthesis, can not meet the needs of plant growth and flowering and fruiting, so cause premature aging.

Preventive measures: In view of this method, when selecting planting, we should select excellent varieties with strong growth, and then select deep and loose fertile soil layer when selecting soil, strengthen fertilizer and water management, improve the nutrients required for plant growth, especially when the plant grows weakly, in order to avoid premature aging, we can appropriately pick some flowers or young fruits to reduce nutrient consumption.

2. Insufficient application of base fertilizer

When wax gourd grows, the demand for fertility is large, especially the basal fertilizer. If the basal fertilizer is not applied enough, and the fertility is not applied in time in the later stage, the nutrient supply is insufficient, and the plant will appear premature aging phenomenon.

Preventive measures: in the case of applying sufficient base fertilizer, fertilizer should be applied according to the growth of plants and fertilizer requirements in time to supply sufficient nutrients to avoid premature aging. At the same time, in the later stage, plants have premature aging, so foliar fertilizer and root topdressing can be carried out simultaneously.

3. Soil problems

The adaptability of wax gourd to soil is still strong, but some farmers in order to implement crop rotation or avoid other crops, in the selection of land is relatively rough, in the soil viscosity heavy, fertility poor plot planting, but insufficient fertilization, and do not timely loosen soil weeding, let it self-destruction, resulting in premature aging of plants.

Preventive measures: wax gourd for soil adaptability is strong, general soil can be planted, as long as it is not too poor or high pH soil, generally it can grow normally, after planting to diligently manage.

4. Improper watering

During the growth and fruiting period of wax gourd, the requirement for water is extremely large. If the watering is too little at this time, the plant will not meet the water required for fruiting and premature senescence will occur. However, during growth, if the watering is too large, the soil will accumulate too much water, affecting the soil permeability, the root growth will be hindered, and the normal respiration and absorption will not occur, resulting in the plant withering and premature senescence.

Preventive measures: according to the growth status of plants when watering, in the dry season to timely watering, keep the soil moist, and in the rainy season to timely drainage waterlogging, prevent rotten roots.
