Field management technology of zucchini

Zucchini is a trailing herb, which is also called compound melon in some places in our country. Zucchini is rich in vitamin C, glucose and other nutrients, especially the content of calcium is very high. Zucchini has the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, detumescence and loose knots. There are cultivation in all parts of our country, the cultivation of zucchini needs a correct management method, so how to manage zucchini? The following editor brings you the field management technology of zucchini. Let's have a look!

1. Water and fertilizer management

Zucchini is suitable to live in moist land, so it is necessary to ensure sufficient moisture in planting. First of all, a week or so after zucchini planting, the seedlings should be watered and fertilized together with topdressing, mainly using urea or farm manure. Before setting melon, it is necessary to control the application of water, promote the development of plant roots and improve the rate of stable melon. After sitting on the first melon, it is necessary to top fertilizer again, and the fertilizer is mainly quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer, and the amount of fertilizer will be controlled at about 15kg/ mu to ensure the subsequent melon yield. When zucchini enters the peak growth period, it needs to be watered once a week and topdressing once in about three weeks.

2. Control temperature

The cold resistance of zucchini is not strong, when the temperature is too low, we should pay attention to heat preservation and warming work to prevent zucchini frost. Usually, before slowing down the seedlings, it is necessary to keep the room closed, the temperature should be controlled at about 28 degrees, and the temperature at night should be kept at about 14 degrees. If there is a sudden change in the weather, resulting in a sudden drop in temperature, it is necessary to cover the forage in time and keep warm. After successfully slowing down the seedlings, the ventilation in the field should be strengthened and the temperature should be reduced suitably. The daytime temperature should be controlled at about 22 degrees and the leaf temperature should be about 12. Create a good environment for the growth of zucchini.

3. Artificial pollination

The natural pollination flowering rate of zucchini is relatively low, so artificial pollination should be carried out in the early flowering stage to improve the pollination rate of zucchini. In the morning of the second flower, pick the male flower, and then remove the Corolla to reveal the stamens. Then smear the stamens on the stigma, under normal circumstances a male flower can pollinate about 5 female flowers. Then it is easy to apply ethephon to the stalk of the female flower with a brush. In artificial pollination, we should pay attention to do a good job of thinning flowers and fruits, leave no more than one melon in the axil of leaves, and remove the excess melons in time.

4. Pick leaves at the right time

With the growth of zucchini, the leaves of the plant will become more and more luxuriant, if the leaves are not picked in time, it is easy to close the field, reduce the permeability, increase the humidity, and increase the incidence of diseases and insect pests. Therefore, timely picking leaves is very important, we should according to the growth of zucchini, the growth is prosperous, the plants with many branches and leaves should pick more leaves. On the contrary, it is necessary to pick less, the main purpose is to ensure sufficient permeability in the field. And should pay attention to the way of picking leaves, try to pick only leaves without moving petiole, avoid petiole plant to produce wounds, stem injury is difficult to heal. Pay attention to the weather of picking leaves, preferably on a continuous sunny day, so as to ensure wound healing and prevent the occurrence of diseases and insect pests.

The above is a brief introduction of zucchini field management technology, of course, the primary management work must be pest control work. However, because there are many kinds of diseases and insect pests, and there are several common diseases and insect pests of zucchini, there are articles on our website to introduce the common diseases and control methods of zucchini. Interested friends can learn about it. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
