Towel gourd cultivation: what is the use of loofah except loofah?

What is the use of towel gourd except for the need? How to remove the male and beard of towel gourd? Please give instructions to loofah reasonably thinning male and removing beard, which can reduce nutrient consumption and concentrate on fruit growth and development, thus increasing yield per unit area. The experiment showed that under the condition of the same cultivation and management, the setting rate per plant of loofah increased by 17.9%, the weight of single melon increased by 15.9%, and the yield per unit area increased by about 36.8%. The following introduces towel gourd male thinning method for reference: towel gourd male thinning method: towel gourd is a cross-pollinated crop. The female flower has a flower and a fruit, and it takes about 15 days from budding to fruit harvest. Male flowers are infinitely growing racemes, each inflorescence can open 20-35 flowers, the total number of male inflorescences per plant is more than the number of female inflorescences, and the pollination ability greatly exceeds the requirement of female flowers. Because the florescence of male inflorescence is longer, 30-40 days, which is equivalent to 3-4 times of the fruiting period of female flowers, a lot of nutrients are consumed during this period. Therefore, removing the excess male inflorescence as soon as possible can save nutrients and supply the need for female flowers to bear fruit. The method of male thinning: starting from the budding of female flowers, 80% of the male inflorescences on each litter of towel gourd plants are removed and 20% pollinated. Towel gourd beard removal method: tendrils play the role of climbing and circling branches in trailing crops. Towel gourd tendrils take a long time from occurrence to death and consume more nutrients, which is not conducive to more melons and good melons. Removing tendrils and using artificial binding instead of climbing function are beneficial to the photosynthesis of plants, the manufacture and accumulation of nutrients, the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, and make towel gourd with good pollination and high yield. The method of removing beard: in the early stage of towel gourd plant growth, the method of removing beard and binding is adopted to draw the vine to the scaffolding; after the branches are evenly distributed and fixed on the scaffold, the tendrils can be removed at any time with the whole vine.
