Hanging gourd, also known as Trichosanthes kirilowii, Trichosanthes, wild gourd, etc., is a perennial herbaceous vine in the gourd family, which is also called wax gourd because of its yellow color and sparse pulp inside. Its skin, seeds and roots can be used as medicine. It has the effects of moistening lung and resolving phlegm, reducing fire and relieving cough, detumescence and detoxification, moistening intestines and laxative. Let's take a look at the seed price and planting method of hanging gourd.

How much is the melon seed per jin?

The price of hanging melon seeds is about 30 yuan per jin, but it varies according to the quality, variety, origin and quantity of seeds. Diaogua likes warm and humid climate, has good cold tolerance, is not resistant to drought, is afraid of waterlogging, and is suitable for planting in deep, loose, moist but non-waterlogged places with a suitable temperature of 18-32 ℃. The yield per mu of hanging melon seeds is generally about 150 jin, with a high yield of more than 200 jin, and an one-time input, with many years of harvest, less investment and quick results, which can be put into harvest in the same year. At present, the experience benefit is high and the development potential is great.

Sowing method of hanging melon

1. Soil configuration: the nutritive soil of hanging melon generally adopts 20% mature animal fertilizer, 30% plant ash and 40% sandy loam. When preparing nutritious soil, the soil must be broken, screened and mixed evenly.

2. Sowing time: the seedling of hanging melon seed can be divided into two kinds: direct seeding in field and seedling in nutrition bowl. Spring sowing is usually carried out from late March to early April.

3. Seed treatment: the seeds should be carefully selected before sowing, the floating seeds and moldy seeds should be removed, and the seeds should be soaked and sterilized with 50% carbendazim 200 times, which can be sowed for 48 hours.

4. Sowing method: while sowing, the hanging melon is put into the seedling bed and sprinkled with water in time to keep the soil of the seedling bed and the nutrient soil in the nutrition bowl moist. The seedling bed is covered with greenhouse nylon film and can be transplanted at the end of May and the beginning of June.

Planting method of hanging melon

1. Soil preparation and fertilization: choose the land with sufficient light, loose and deep soil layer and low groundwater level to plant. In autumn and winter, the land will be deeply turned and raked and leveled, combined with ploughing and soil preparation, and 150 kg organic fertilizer will be applied per mu.

2. Build scaffolding: it is better to set up hanging melons before planting, punch holes with a depth of 50 cm according to a horizontal distance of 1.8 meters and a vertical distance of 2 meters, and reserve an open space of 1.5 to 2 meters at both ends of the hole, so that bamboo piles can be used for fixing scaffolding.

3. Introduce the vine to the shelf: when the hanging melon vine is 30cm long and 50cm long, only 1x 2 roots are left in each tree (remove the small and keep the big). Insert bamboo or wicker next to each seedling to guide the stem on the shelf. After sealing the shelf, some thin branches and overlapping branches should be thinned in time, ventilated and transparent.

4. Rational fertilization: 150 kg of organic fertilizer is applied per mu after clearing the garden in winter, 150 kg of fermented organic fertilizer or 50 kg of vegetable cake is used per mu when the vine is 30-50 cm long after emergence, and 10-20 cm away from the plant is buried in a trench.

5. Timely harvest: hanging melon ripens in early October and can be harvested when there is white powder in the skin of the fruit and becomes light yellow. After picking the fruit, take out the seeds, wash the flesh of the melon, and dry the seeds.

6. Disease and pest control

① pests: Huangzu black melon, Huangzu Huangshou melon can be sprayed with 50% phoxim EC, aphids can be sprayed with 40% dimethoate 800-1500 times solution, melon silk borer can be sprayed with 5% Regent 2500 times or 40% dimethoate emulsion 1000 times.

② vine blight: at the initial stage of the disease, spray the whole field with 40% DuPont Foxing EC, and prevent it again after 3-4 days, depending on the disease.

③ anthracnose: at the initial stage of the disease, the mixture of 50% carbendazim wettable powder and 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder was sprayed once every 7 to 10 days for 2 times in a row.
