Causes and preventive measures of premature senescence of wax gourd

Premature senescence of wax gourd means that the planting vitality of wax gourd can not normally support the completion of the life cycle of wax gourd, mostly when the fruit is not ripe, the plant vitality is low or die. Wax gourd grows faster in the later stage, but if it is not managed properly, it will lead to premature senility, which will affect the yield and quality, and it is also a serious economic loss to farmers. What are the specific causes of premature senility? How to prevent it? Let's take a look at the pro-farm network.

1. The position of fruit setting node is low.

After the wax gourd blossoms and fruits, due to the short plant and poor growth, resulting in fewer individuals and weak growth, especially the small leaf area, resulting in less nutrients synthesized by photosynthesis, which can no longer meet the needs of plant growth, flowering and fruit setting, so it causes premature senescence.

Preventive measures: in view of this method, excellent varieties with strong growth should be selected when planting, and then deep, loose and fertile soil should be selected when selecting soil, so as to strengthen fertilizer and water management and improve the nutrients needed for plant growth. especially when the plant growth is weak, in order to avoid premature senility, some flowers or young fruits can be picked properly to reduce nutrient consumption.

2. Insufficient application of base fertilizer.

In the growth of wax gourd, there is a great demand for fertility, especially the base fertilizer, if the application of base fertilizer is insufficient, and the fertilizer is not applied in time in the later stage, resulting in insufficient supply of nutrient elements, the plant will appear premature senescence.

Preventive measures: in the case of sufficient base fertilizer, topdressing fertilizer should be applied in time according to the growth of the plant and the amount of fertilizer needed to supply sufficient nutrients to avoid premature senility, while in the later stage, the plant has the phenomenon of premature senility, foliar fertilizer spraying and root topdressing can be carried out at the same time.

3. Soil problems

The adaptability of wax gourd to soil is still strong, but in order to implement crop rotation or avoid other crops, some farmers are relatively rough in the selection of land, planting in the land with heavy soil viscosity and poor fertility, but do not apply enough fertilizer, and do not loosen the soil and weed in time. Let it fend for itself, resulting in plant de-fertilization and premature senescence.

Preventive measures: wax gourd has strong adaptability to soil, general soil can be planted, as long as it is not too barren or high pH soil, it can normally grow and bear fruit, and should be managed frequently after planting.

4. Improper watering

In the growth and fruiting period of wax gourd, the demand for water is very large. if it is watered too little, it will lead to the phenomenon of premature senescence, but in the growth, if the watering is too large, it will lead to too much water in the soil. affect soil permeability, root growth is blocked, can not normal respiration and absorption, resulting in plant withering, premature senescence phenomenon.

Preventive measures: watering according to the growth state of the plant, timely watering in the dry season to keep the soil moist, and timely drainage and waterlogging prevention in the rainy season to prevent rotting roots.

The above are the causes and preventive measures of premature senescence of wax gourd brought by pro-agricultural network. I hope it can help you. If you want to know more about wax gourd, please pay attention to pro-agricultural network.
