Note: there are many varieties of zucchini, and their seed prices vary from variety to variety. When choosing and buying zucchini, you must first look at the variety (mainly depends on the characteristics of the variety, yield, etc.) and then look at the price, so the above price is only for reference. The specific price is mainly based on the actual situation!

Cultivated varieties of zucchini

1. Mosaic zucchini: it is widely cultivated in northern China, with short vines, few branches, compact plant shape, 3 to 5 melons per plant, long oval melon, dark green peel, irregular yellow-green stripes, green and white flesh, dense flesh and less fiber.

2. Seedless zucchini: a variety that can be eaten with seeds. The plant is trailing, 1.6 meters long, melon short column, tender melon can be used as a vegetable, old ripe melon peel orange, single melon weight 4-5 kg.

3. Green zucchini: the vine of the plant is 3 meters long, the leaf is heart-shaped, dark green, the leaf edge is irregularly serrated, the melon is long and oval, the epidermis is smooth, green and white, and there are 6 angules. generally, a single melon weighs 2-3 kg.

4. Long vine zucchini: the plant is creeping, the stem is about 2.5 meters long, the branching is medium, the leaves are triangular, lobed, green, the back of the leaves are hairy, the main vine begins to bear melons after the ninth node, there are 2 or 3 melons per plant, the melon is cylindrical, and the middle is slightly thinner.

Sowing method of zucchini

1. Variety selection: the early-maturing varieties of zucchini include Zaoqing generation, a litter of monkeys, A-Tai generation, Tezao No. 1, small white skin and mosaic zucchini, and middle-maturing varieties have long-vine zucchini, which are generally cultivated in the greenhouse (room) in early spring, with higher benefits.

2. Disinfection and germination: after exposure to the sun, the zucchini seeds were stirred in water of 50: 55 ℃ for 15 minutes, then soaked in room temperature for 6: 8 hours, washed and incubated under the condition of 25: 30 ℃ and washed with clean water every 6 hours. After 2-3 days, they could germinate.

3. Nutrition bed: 6 parts of garden soil and 4 parts of rotten circle fertilizer for zucchini nutrition soil, sifted and mixed evenly, plus 15 kg of sifted chicken manure and 5000 grams of compound fertilizer per square meter of bed soil, evenly mixed and set aside.

4. Sowing time: the soil temperature of zucchini planting must be above 12 ℃. The seedlings are usually raised from February to March in plastic greenhouse, the seedling stage is 30-40 days, and the seedling stage is 25-30 days in open field production.

5. Sowing method: put a germinated seed flat in each nutrition bowl or earthwork of zucchini, then cover it with 2 cm thick soil, then cover it with plastic film to keep warm and moisturize, sowing 400 grams per mu.

Planting method of zucchini

1. Soil preparation and fertilization: zucchini base fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer. Generally, 2000 kg of rotten organic fertilizer, 75 kg of cake fertilizer, 40 kg of compound fertilizer and 80 kg of plant ash are applied per mu. Spread the fertilizer evenly on the ground and turn it over 30 cm to level the ground.

2. Trenching: zucchini are cultivated with deep trench and high border and plastic film mulching, with a width of 100 cm, a height of 20 cm, and a width of 25 cm to 30 cm. Before planting, 45% chlorothalonil fumigant 1 kg per mu is used for fumigation and disinfection for about 7 days.

3. Planting time: zucchini seedlings with 3 leaves and 1 heart or 4 leaves were planted when the seedling age was about 30 days, and the plant spacing of small varieties was 40 × 40 cm, about 1800 plants per mu. The plant spacing of large varieties is 50 × 50 cm, with about 1600 plants per mu.

4. planting method: one day before planting, zucchini was watered thoroughly, strong seedlings and good seedlings were selected, and the roots should be transplanted with more soil as far as possible. the roots should be spread normally during planting, and the planting holes should be watered tightly with fine soil after planting. After that, the seedlings were watered once a day until the seedlings survived.

5. Temperature management: during the slow seedling stage, the greenhouse temperature of zucchini was 2528 ℃ in daytime and 1820 ℃ at night. After slow seedling, the greenhouse temperature in daytime was 2025 ℃, and that at night was 12 ℃. After sitting melon, the temperature was 22 ℃ in daytime and 15 ℃ at night, and the lowest was no less than 10 ℃.

6. Artificial pollination: zucchini must be artificially pollinated when the temperature is low in early spring. Generally, the male flowers that bloom on the same day are picked before 9: 00 in the morning, the Corolla is removed, and the stigma of the female flower is gently smeared. Or use anti-falling hormone, set fruit ling and other plant hormones according to the instructions.

7. Fertilizer and water management: zucchini planting should be watered timely according to soil moisture. When there is a lack of fertilizer in the later stage, the film can be broken to apply 10kg / mu compound fertilizer or foliar fertilizer.

8. Timely harvest: zucchini mainly eat tender melons, harvest when they meet the requirements of commercial melons, keep more melons and big melons in prosperous plants, and harvest melons late in growing plants, while weak plants should leave less melons and pick melons early.

Disease and pest control of zucchini

1. Powdery mildew

[harm] in the early stage of the disease, there were nearly round small powder spots on the leaf surface or leaf back and on the young stem, there were many leaves on the front, and the serious whole leaf was covered with white powder. in the later stage of the disease, piles of small yellow-brown particles appeared on the white plaque, and then the small particles turned black.

[prevention and treatment] 800 times of 40% polysulfide suspension was sprayed evenly before noon in the early and early stages of the disease, once every 5-7 days, and 2 times in a row.

2. Cotton rot

[harm] harms fruits, sometimes leaves, stems and other parts. At the initial stage of the disease, the young fruit showed an oval, water-immersed dark green spot.

[prevention and control] High ridge cultivation is adopted to avoid flood irrigation, and melons should be padded up. In the initial stage of the disease, combined with the prevention and control of gray mold and powdery mildew, spray 72% chlorothalonil wettable powder 600 times 800 times.

3. Virus disease

[harm] when the disease occurred, there were dark green disease spots on the leaves, deformed upper leaves of seriously diseased plants, chicken claws, dwarfing plants, smaller leaves, yellow withered or dead leaves in the later stage, little or no melons on the diseased plants, and tumor-like protuberances or deformities on the melon surface.

[prevention and treatment] at the initial stage of the disease, 20% virus A wettable powder was sprayed 500 times, straight every 10 days, 3 times in a row.

4. Whitefly

[harm] Adults or nymphs suck sap on the back of the leaves, usually concentrated on the upper tender leaves, and the damaged leaves are dry.

[control] early spraying of whitefly at low density, repeated three times a week, 1500 times wettable powder can be evenly sprayed on the back of the leaves.

5. Leaf miner

[harm] the larvae latent feed on the mesophyll into a line of insect pathways, leaving only the upper and lower epidermis, and there are black insect dung in the insect pathways. In serious cases, the injured leaves wilt and die, affecting the yield.

[control] 90% trichlorfon or 25% imidophos EC 1000 times, etc. Spraying 6000 times of killing liquid in the peak period of adults and 1000 times of quinathion EC in the period of larval damage.

6. Red spider

[harm] the adults and larvae live in groups on the back of the leaves to suck juice, and yellow and white spots appear on the surface of the damaged leaves, which will wither and yellow the leaves of the whole plant.

[control] 73% EC 2000 times, or 25% mimeticidal wettable powder 1000 times, sprayed once every 7 to 10 days, focusing on the back of tender leaves and stem tips, three times in a row.
