These techniques are indispensable for high pumpkin yield.

In order to improve the yield of pumpkin, in addition to selecting excellent varieties, timely sowing and reasonable fertilization, the following measures can be taken in the planting process. It can increase pumpkin yield by 30%.

Pumpkin

When the melon vine grows to 2 meters, remove the growth point of the main pumpkin vine, you can grow three to four branches.

To create a good light transmission, ventilation conditions, the need to build scaffolding, the specific method is: when the pumpkin vine grows to 2 meters, lead the vine to the scaffolding, but can not break the vine. Pumpkins with scaffolding have fewer diseases and insect pests, and the sitting rate of pumpkins is greatly increased.

Artificial pollination can also be used to increase pumpkin production. The method is to cover the fast-opening and pollinating female flowers with melon leaves to prevent Rain Water from soaking in. At about 9 o'clock the next morning, pick the male flowers from the different plants and cover them over the female flowers, and remove the covered male flowers 2-3 days later.

On the flowering and fruiting pumpkin vines, the foot leaves and old yellow leaves are removed in time, and 30% of the male flowers are removed, which not only ventilates and transmits light, but also reduces nutrient consumption.

In the later stage of pumpkin growth, that is, after 2 or 3 batches of pumpkins, when some wax yellow leaves appear on the roots of pumpkins, the adventitious roots growing on pumpkin vine joints are buried, which can increase the yield by 30%. The specific method is: choose fertile vegetable garden soil to mix evenly with a small amount of organic fertilizer and quick-acting chemical fertilizer, bury 4-6 stems, and the soil thickness is about 20cm, so as to ensure that there is enough buried stem length, such as too short. You can combine the pumpkin vines on the shelf and retract the main stem of the pumpkin properly, but do not pull or move the stem vines, and the soil layer must be buried firmly to create conditions for the growth of adventitious roots of pumpkins. At the same time, special attention should be paid to the time of burying stems. Too early, it is easy to cause overgrowth; too late, slow growth.
