What about cracked wax gourd?

Wax gourd cracking not only affects the appearance, but also affects the quality and reduces the commodity value. In addition, cracked melon will also cause bacteria to invade the melon and propagate, causing local deterioration or decay of wax gourd, affecting storage and transportation. Select crack-resistant varieties. In rainy areas or rainy seasons, the cultivation method of deep trench and high border or ridging is adopted. Increase the application of organic fertilizer, increase soil water permeability and water retention, so that the soil water supply is uniform, the root system is developed, branches are luxuriant, and pruning in time, so that the fruit development is normal. The pericarp is thick and the parietal cell layer is less in the top and ground parts of the fruit, which can be turned to promote fruit development and prevent melon cracking in cultivation. When necessary, spraying 0.1% zinc sulfate or copper sulfate during the fruit expansion period can improve heat resistance and crack resistance. Spray 15 × 10 ~ 6 gibberellin or indole acetic acid or 30 × 10 ~ 6 naphthalene acetic acid after petal fall off, spray once every 7 days, spray 2 times continuously for 3 times, can also prevent cracking melon.
