How to prevent wax gourd from cracking

The cracking of wax gourd not only affects the appearance and quality, but also is disadvantageous to storage and sale, and brings economic loss to vegetable farmers. Here are several effective measures to prevent wax gourd cracking. Please give it a try. 1. In rainy areas or rainy seasons, use deep furrow or ridging to cultivate. 2. Increase the application of organic fertilizer, increase soil water permeability and water retention, make soil water supply uniform, promote the healthy growth of plants, and prune in time. Make the fruit develop normally. 3. The pericarp at the top of the fruit and close to the ground is thick, and the parietal cell layer is less, which can be reversed in cultivation to promote fruit development and prevent cracking. If necessary, 0.1% zinc sulfate or copper sulfate solution is sprayed during the fruit expansion period to improve its heat resistance and crack resistance. 4. Spraying 15PPM gibberellin solution after petal shedding, once every 7 days, even 2 times 3 times, can also prevent cracking melon.
