Planting method and time of towel gourd: seedling raising technology of towel gourd in early spring, how to plant towel gourd

There are many kinds of towel gourd, and most people will plant early spring towel gourd, because this will go on the market much earlier than the usual towel gourd, which will meet the market demand and have high income. Do you know the method and time of planting early spring towel gourd? Do you want to know about it? The following is to introduce to you the seedling techniques of towel gourd in early spring.

Sprouting and sowing: early spring towel gourd is produced and seedlings are usually raised in the early and middle of November. When raising seedlings, soak the seeds in clean water for 6 hours, then disinfect them with 1500 times or 1000 times of Zinc and Manganese for 1 hour or 2 hours, then spread a layer of gauze or toilet paper on the prepared bento boxes or plates, wet them with dripping water, lay the towel gourd seeds on top, cover and keep warm, move them into the room, wait for the Hypocotyl to be extracted, and then use a hole plate or seedling cup to raise seedlings. When using the acupoint plate or nursery cup, first stir the medium with water until it is wet, take out the medium and fill the acupoint plate until 7 or 8 minutes full, then put the seeds flat, the bud tip down, and then cover with a layer of dry medium, so that the acupoint plate and so on reach 9 points full, finally wet. Keep the medium moist during seedling breeding, so that it can be transplanted to the field in about 1 to 2 pieces of this leaf.

Soil preparation: soak for 5-7 days before soil preparation in order to reduce pests and pathogens in the soil. After drainage, when the soil is properly dry, 1500 kg of organic fertilizer, 20 kg of sulfuric acid, 30 kg of superphosphate and 20 kg of potassium chloride are applied to each sub-area (10 mu) as base fertilizer, and then the land is prepared and covered with plastic cloth. The width of the border depends on the mode of cultivation.

Open the net before planting: in order to avoid the transmission of toxin disease by aphids and reduce the harm of cold current, towel gourd in early spring might as well be cultivated in a net room. If you want to grow in a net room, you should spread a nylon net before the seedlings are planted. The nylon mesh has a pore size of 32 mesh and is more durable with a cloth edge every 1 meter. On the market, the net is 100m long and 4m wide (about 4 specifications). Each volume is about 4200 ~ 4500 yuan. The height of the net is about 4 meters, so about 4 rolls of nylon net are needed for one minute of land. Before opening the net, thick bamboo columns or 2-inch galvanized pipes should be erected every 3-4 meters around the field. After the net is spread, the field is supported by thinner bamboo poles (a handful of 10 ~ 12). Ideally, you might as well pierce a thin hole above the bamboo pole and pull the plastic net around, so that the nylon net will not be sunken and uneven.

Planting methods: early spring towel gourd cultivation methods are: creeping type, tunnel type, horizontal type, however, net room cultivation, then the latter two are more suitable. The width of the creeping border is 5 ~ 6 meters, the plant distance is about 1.2 meters, one border is planted in two rows, and the border is covered with straw; when the tunnel type is generally planted in double rows, the border width is 5 ~ 6 meters, and the frame height is 1.8 ~ 2 meters. Bamboo, iron or pipe can be used as materials. Horizontal scaffolding single row planting bed width 2 ~ 3 meters, double row planting bed width 5 ~ 6 meters, height 1.8 ~ 2 meters, most of the material is bamboo, if durable, cement columns as the skeleton, vertical and horizontal tension wire is the most appropriate. The indoor temperature of the net is higher than that of the open field, and the influence of cold current is less, so the plant distance may as well be a little wider, which is suitable for 1.2 ~ 1.5 meters. When cultivated in open-field scaffolding, the plant distance can be reduced to 0.9 ~ 1.2 meters, but the seedlings should be covered with transparent plastic bags to protect against cold.

Irrigation and fertilization: towel gourd grows vigorously, water evapotranspiration is large, and the field should be kept moist. As the growing period is full of blossoms and fruits, more attention should be paid to topdressing fertilizer during the growth period, in addition to the high demand for organic fertilizer. Generally, the first topdressing should be carried out 10 days after planting, and then every 3 weeks. Water should be irrigated before each topdressing. Base fertilizer, topdressing may wish to refer to the following fertilizer amount (unit: kg / 10 mu).
