The latest course of field management techniques and methods of Trichosanthes

Trichosanthes is a kind of medicinal melon. In recent years, people who grow Trichosanthes have seized the project of getting rich when the market of Trichosanthes is good, and all the planting of Trichosanthes has become a hot project to get rich. In fact, the cultivation of Trichosanthes is basically the same as that of other melons, but in order to increase the yield of Trichosanthes, we should also pay attention to the field management of Trichosanthes. Today we mainly come to learn the field management skills of Trichosanthes. Let's take a look.

1. Ploughing and weeding

Trichosanthes planting is generally waiting for the seedling to grow to about 10 to 15 centimeters. After planting, we should check the seedling growth in the field and replenish the seedlings in time. When the Trichosanthes seedlings grow to about 20 cm, it is necessary to carry out weeding for the first time after planting. At this time, shallow ploughing is generally used to weed, so as not to hurt the roots of Trichosanthes seedlings. In the later stage, the situation of mid-tillage needs to be carried out according to the specific conditions of Trichosanthes seedling growth, generally after many times of watering or continuous rainfall, in order to avoid low consolidation, it is necessary to carry out mid-tillage in time. After fruiting melons in the later stage, try to reduce the number of times of intertillage.

2. Fertilizer and water management

Seedlings are usually planted on cloudy and rainy days, so watering is not needed in this case, but if the weather is dry, watering is needed. The first topdressing is generally waiting for Trichosanthes seedlings to grow to about 40 to 50 centimeters, mainly quick-acting fertilizer, while topdressing is best selected in rainy days, so that nutrients can be better absorbed. In the growing period of Trichosanthes kirilowii, three times of topdressing is generally carried out, the type of fertilizer is the same as the first topdressing, and the fertilization in the later stage is appropriate after each harvest of Trichosanthes. General fertilization needs watering, followed by reasonable regulation of watering water according to the different growth periods of Trichosanthes.

3. Build scaffolding

In order to increase the yield of Trichosanthes, reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests and facilitate later management, it is necessary to build scaffolding when Trichosanthes seedlings grow to about 50 cm. The height of the scaffolding is generally about 1.8 to 2 meters, fix the bracket and bury it about 30 centimeters, then connect it with a thick rope at the top of the scaffold, and pull the Trichosanthes seedlings to the scaffold to crawl and grow, which can also control the permeability of the field.

4. Pruning and branching

When pulling Trichosanthes seedlings to the bracket, the excess stems and leaves can be removed and two or three strong branches can be retained. Wait until the main stem vine grows to about four or five meters, erase the terminal bud of the main stem vine to promote the growth of branches, and then retain the secondary stem vine, tertiary stem vine and reserve branches in the previous way. At the same time, when pruning branches and leaves, arrange the stems and vines to avoid overlap and extrusion, so as to ensure the permeability of the field and the centralized supply of nutrients.

5. Artificial pollination

The result rate of natural pollination of Trichosanthes is relatively low, so the yield of wild Trichosanthes is basically unstable and relatively low. Then according to this characteristic, we need artificial pollination in field management in order to improve the yield and quality of Trichosanthes. Generally, the pollen of male flowers can be smeared on the stigma of female flowers with brushes or feathers to make full pollination so as to ensure yield.

The above is what the editor is going to teach you today, about the field management techniques of Trichosanthes cultivation. I hope it can be helpful to you. If you think it is effective, you can leave a message for the editor. At the same time, if you encounter any problems in the process of planting, you can consult the editor.
