The growing environment of Chieh-qua

1. Water condition

Although Chieh-qua has a well-developed root group, it has strict requirements for water because of its large leaf area and strong transpiration. Less water is needed in the seedling stage, and if the soil moisture is too high in this period, it is easy to induce quenching disease. After drawing vines, the demand for water increases gradually, and a lot of water is needed in the peak period of flowering and fruiting, at which time the soil should always be kept moist.

two。 Temperature management

The requirements of climatic conditions for the growth and development of Jiegu are basically the same as those of wax gourd, and are suitable for higher temperature and strong light. When the temperature is higher, the vine leaves grow rapidly, blossom and bear fruit earlier, while the temperature is low, the vine leaves grow slowly and blossom and bear fruit later. The requirements for temperature are different in different growth periods.

Chieh-qua is not strict with the length of light, and most varieties can develop normally under long-day or short-day light. There are strict requirements for light intensity, and good light conditions are required in all its growing periods, especially in often cloudy and rainy days, weak plant growth, low assimilation, easy to infect diseases, and is not conducive to insect pollination and pollination, affecting fruit setting and low yield.
