How to promote the early ripening of wax gourd

Wax gourd must be very familiar with everyone, because wax gourd is planted in almost every household in rural areas, whether it is family planting or large-scale market planting, its planting area is relatively large. Although its market price may be lower, its market demand is still relatively large, which adds up. So in the planting process, how can we promote the early maturity of wax gourd and put it on the market as soon as possible? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Vine management

Topping of the main vine in vine management can effectively enhance the photosynthesis of wax gourd, the more leaves, the more fruit rate and quantity will be. However, although the lack of leaves will have a certain effect on the photosynthesis of wax gourd, the inflated fruit will not be affected. In the process of planting, we should try different methods to adjust the plant. although there are many ways to manage the vine, according to the experiment, the topping of the main vine is the best. Because it can not only increase the number of leaves, but also improve the fruit setting rate, so reasonable vine management of wax gourd is of great benefit to its development.

2. Water and fertilizer management

After successful fruit setting, wax gourd grows fastest, and stems and leaves will continue to grow rapidly during this period, so it is necessary to ensure adequate nutrition and water supply for the development of wax gourd at this stage. If the planting variety is a large wax gourd, then the maximum growth period is within 2-3 weeks after fruit setting. So at this time to ensure enough fertilizer and water to provide conditions for later growth and development. If it does not meet the needs of fertilizer and water, it will hinder the development of the fruit, and seriously make the wax gourd form melons. Then replenish water and fertilizer appropriately according to each stage of growth.

3. Temperature management

Wax gourd is a kind of temperature-loving vegetable, if its temperature is not controlled properly, it will have a serious impact on the growth and development of wax gourd. The suitable growth temperature of wax gourd is above 20-25 degrees, and the temperature at night is 5-6 degrees lower than that during the day. If the temperature is lower than 15 degrees, the growth rate of wax gourd will be inhibited, and the expansion of wax gourd will be blocked in the later stage. If you are planting autumn wax gourd, the seeds should be treated before the temperature drops. If the sowing time is too late, the low temperature will affect the germination of wax gourd and reduce the yield.

4. Fruit setting management

Fruit setting is also very important for wax gourd planting. Generally, the location of the fruit should be around the fourth female flower on the main vine. Because the position of the female flower is different, the degree of nutrient absorption is also different, so the nutritional status of the fruit will naturally be different, and the size and growth of the fruit are closely related to the position of the fruit. Therefore, when planting wax gourd, the selection of fruit setting node position is very important to the fruit quality, and the most suitable position to retain fruit is the third to fifth more female flowers on the main vine.

The above four points are a brief introduction to how to promote the early ripening of wax gourd. Planting wax gourd is relatively simple, but it is more difficult to manage. In the planting process, to strengthen the management of the vegetable garden, to obtain big fruit or high yield, the correct orchard management method is essential. So you can learn some management skills before planting to consolidate yourself. This article is for reference only. I hope it will be helpful to you.
