Key points of field management of towel gourd

With the entry of spring, summer is not far away, and gradually entered the peak period of towel gourd. Now it is also the sowing season of towel gourd, and farmers have gradually started the sowing work of towel gourd. In the process of towel gourd growth, we want to ensure high yield and good quality, then we should do a good job in field management. So the editor brings you the key points of towel gourd field management today. Let's take a look at it.

1. Planting management

After planting, towel gourd should pay attention to build a small arch shed to prevent excessive ventilation, increase the temperature in the shed, and delay the seedling time of towel gourd seedlings. After the towel gourd seedlings were successfully slowed down, ethephon should be sprayed properly to prevent the seedlings from overgrowing and increase the number of female flowers. And should be watered in time to promote squatting seedlings. When towel gourd seedlings grow about 28 cm high, it is necessary to build a bracket, and then reasonably lead the vine on the shelf. Pay attention to remove the side vine and promote the main vine to bear melon. When entering the melon vine growth period, it is necessary to do a good job in water and fertilizer work.

2. Fertilizer and water management

The growth period of towel gourd is relatively short, and it can bear melon about a month after planting. In summer, it is necessary to apply fertilizer about 3 times and reapply it at the initial stage of flowering. Compound fertilizer is the main fertilizer, and because towel gourd can bear melon continuously, topdressing is needed for every two harvests. The main fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. After towel gourd enters the ripening period, there is a greater need for water, so it should be watered twice a day on a sunny day. And the harvest period in addition to timely watering accident, in the planting ditch also need to retain about 15 centimeters of water layer, but water should not be too much. When there are many rainy days and too much watering, we should also pay attention to the drainage work.

3. Manage the vine and beat the leaves.

When the towel gourd main vine grows to 30cm, insert the bracket in time. Do not draw the vine immediately after inserting the rack, do a good job of nesting and pressing the vine on the main vine, and then draw the vine in time when the female flower appears, and pay attention to the uniform distribution of the vine on the support when introducing the vine. In this way, there are about 3 melons left in the main vine. If towel gourd is bent, it is also necessary to do a good job of hanging gourd in time. First of all, tie the lower melon pedicel with a small rope, and then tie up a small stone at the other end of the rope to straighten it, usually about 3 days after harvest. Finally, we should pay attention to remove the old leaves and weak leaves to prevent excessive nutrition consumption.

4. Ploughing and weeding

If the harvest time is early and no scaffolding is set up, a ploughing and weeding must be done between the rows when planting. It is necessary to remove weeds in time to prevent weeds from grabbing the growth and nutrition of towel gourd, and then soften the soil and fine rake the soil to facilitate the growth and later management of towel gourd. After setting up the frame, we should plough reasonably according to the specific growth of weeds, but we should pay attention to the strength to prevent damage to the roots of towel gourd. And after each ploughing, the soil should be cultivated once to prevent the roots from being exposed to the air and affecting the growth of the roots.

The above is a brief introduction to the key points of towel gourd field management. the management of towel gourd has a great relationship with the growth, yield and quality of towel gourd. Therefore, it also directly affects the economic benefits of planting, so we must do a good job in the basic work to avoid losses. That's all for today's introduction.
