Planting management technology of towel gourd

Sowing and raising seedlings in the first and middle of March. Varieties can choose Hangzhou iron towel gourd, Linhai white towel gourd and other local varieties, the seed consumption per mu is 20O-300 grams. April (1) planting: towel gourd likes fertile and humus-rich soil. Turn deeply and level out to make the bed. The width of the border (continuous ditch) is 2.6 meters per row, with a hole distance of 50 cm, 2 plants per hole, and 1000 plants per mu. 2000 kilograms of rotten barnyard manure per mu. (2) Management after planting: watering root water during planting, watering dilute human faeces every 2 days after planting, watering 10% 15% of human faeces every 7 days after seedling survival, 250 Mu 300 kg per mu; keep the soil moist regularly. May (1) Fertilizer and Water Management: apply fertilizer and water frequently. When the vine grows rapidly, apply trailing fertilizer once, and the manure water of 50% people per mu is 1500ml 2000 kg. At the initial stage of flowering and fruiting, 20% of 30% of human dung water or 5 kg of available chemical fertilizer per mu will be irrigated every 5 times every 7 days. (2) Intermediate ploughing and soil cultivation: 3 times of interploughing and soil cultivation were carried out before erection to make the flat bed into a tile ridge to promote the occurrence of adventitious roots and drainage. (3) setting up, drawing and binding vines: set up the frame in time after the second deep ploughing. In general, scaffolding is better for varieties with long vines, exuberant growth and strong branching power, while for precocious varieties with short vines and weak growth, it is appropriate to build "herringbone" frames or hedges. Towel gourd stem on the shelf, pay attention to remove the lateral buds at any time, "zigzag" artificial introduction of vines, while binding vines, so that stems and leaves are evenly distributed. (4) pruning and branching: remove excessive or ineffective lateral vines and remove excess male inflorescences to reduce nutrient consumption. June (1) Fertilizer and Water Management: harvest began in the first ten days. Melon must be topdressing for every two times of harvest, and the number of times of topdressing is more than that of other melons. Generally, 15 kg of ammonium sulfate or 8 kg of urea are applied per mu. During the fruiting period, topdressing and watering is combined with topdressing every 5 ml every 7 days. (2) Plant management: pruning, removal of ineffective lateral branches and old, yellow and diseased leaves. Select the large fruit of the ovary and remove the malformed fruit and stiff fruit with poor pollination, yellowing ovary and slow growth. July to August (1) harvest: July to August is the peak harvest period. Harvest every two days, harvest should be timely, sooner rather than later, so as not to affect the quality of food. (2) in field management, towel gourd likes to be wet and must be watered in time after entering the period of high temperature and drought. Generally, 1 Mel is harvested twice and then fertilized and watered once. Continue to adjust the plant, remove the overdense old leaves and yellow leaves, and remove too many male flowers.
