How to improve the yield and ensure the quality of balsam pear in anti-season greenhouse!

Balsam pear flower

Balsam pear is a kind of vegetable with bitter taste but high nutritional value, which has a unique position in the vegetable market. As growers are usually concerned about the output and quality of vegetables, how to maximize benefits with the minimum cost, how to maximize output in the smallest space, and every method of growing vegetables, every skill is the crystallization of vegetable farmers' hard thinking and wisdom. Today, I would like to introduce to you some tips for planting balsam pear.

First, how to increase output?

The amount of output is the amount of income, for most vegetable farmers, this is a question worth thinking about. The yield is nothing more than these aspects, varieties, vines, female and male flowers contrast, timely picking rate, diseases and insect pests, and then we will analyze these aspects one by one.

1. Variety

There are many varieties of balsam pear, suitable for winter and summer, and there are many kinds of balsam pear. Today, we focus on introducing several balsam pear varieties that I think can, green champion, first of all, the market situation of green champion in the past few days.

Market situation, location Shouguang City, Weifang City, market analysis, the weather is sunny, the temperature is rising, the green champion is listed in large numbers, the supply of goods is increased, and the supply is concentrated in the greenhouse, mainly in stock, which has not yet reached the real peak of listing, and the merchants are generally enthusiastic and stable. Currency prices remain at 4.50 to 4.70 yuan per jin.

Variety characteristics, strong melon bearing ability, good commodity, good disease resistance, melon length of about 35-42 cm, single melon weight of about 550-650 grams, vigorous plant growth, suitable for greenhouse planting.

Second, Green Arrow, the variety is a hybrid generation, is selected from a number of hybrid individuals, is an early-maturing and high-yielding variety, strong branching, fruit length of about 30-38 cm, horizontal diameter 5-7 cm, generally less than 7 cm long to pick, single melon weight 400-550 grams, skin color green, shining is its main advantage, such balsam pear varieties are good merchandise.

Varieties will first introduce these two kinds, do not understand the suggestion everyone online inquiry, you can also comment on the exchange below.

2. Vines

Balsam pear is a vine plant, the robust growth of vines is directly related to crop yield, strong vines, more branches, thicker leaves, stronger photosynthesis, and higher yield. Let us know a few things about the maintenance of vines.

First, raising vines, balsam pear planting in greenhouse is generally intercropped with cucumber intercropping, in order to improve the yield of balsam pear, we must focus on balsam pear, end cucumber planting ahead of time, and lift vines as soon as possible, so that balsam pear vines have enough time and space to grow and cultivate strong vines.

Second, temperature, early vine can increase the yield, but it is still winter, the temperature is still low, to ensure the greenhouse temperature is the key, the new shed, quilt, film can play a role in heat preservation, the old greenhouse can build reflective film on the back slope of the greenhouse, increase light, improve photosynthesis efficiency, so as to increase yield.

Third, water and fertilizer, first of all, the bottom fertilizer, that is, the fertilizer sprinkled on the ground in advance, there are often rice husk manure (chicken and duck manure), chemical fertilizer, soybean meal (soybean residue left by pressing soybean oil), and bottom fertilizer play a vital role in the growth of crops. base fertilizer must be fully applied before planting. As a result, some multi-element water-soluble fertilizers can be used. when the crops need a lot of fertility, and the effective fertility in the soil does not meet the requirements, the yield and quality of the crops will decline, and sufficient fertility must be ensured during the result period.

3. The contrast between male and female flowers

This is also a problem often encountered by balsam pear farmers. Friends who raise vines early in winter often encounter different ratios of male and female flowers, usually less male flowers than male flowers. This is the case in my family all the year round. I went to my relatives' greenhouse to pick male flowers to ensure the amount of fruit. is that the reason? My house is an old shed, the temperature is about 5-10 lower than the new shed, although the Beginning of Spring, the night temperature is lower than 5 ℃ is a common thing, the temperature is low, there will be fewer male flowers, the reason? I also did not check carefully, when the temperature rises, the number of male flowers will exceed female flowers, this is not to worry about the problem of pollen, if you need to fruit early, seize the market opportunity, to ensure that the temperature is the key.

A special reminder: balsam pear listed around February in the Gregorian calendar, that is, balsam pear listed early, at this time the purchasers do not have a lot of activities, balsam pear trading needs to go to large logistics parks, farmers' markets, you can take a detailed look at the above green champion market analysis.

4. Timely picking rate

Balsam pear should be picked when it grows to a certain length, and we should not be too nostalgic and miss the best harvest time, so as to improve the yield while ensuring the quality, which is something that most vegetable farmers will take into account. Don't be lazy at this time, pick when you should, and you can also maintain the vines with the increase of picking rate at the right time.

5. Diseases and insect pests

Alternaria smut of Momordica charantia seriously affects the quality of balsam pear during fruit production, resulting in nearly round to irregular water-stained dark brown spots between leaf edges or veins. When the humidity is high, the disease spots expand rapidly, resulting in early withering of leaves and brown spots on balsam pear.

At this time, it is necessary to spray pesticides in time, increase organic fertilizer, and strictly prevent flooding irrigation. The increase of moisture will only make the situation worse and improve plant disease resistance. Specific pesticides can be consulted from local agricultural shops.

For the prevention and treatment of balsam pear cotton rot, the disease part shows brown water stains at first, then softens quickly, the disease part shows soft rot shape, white mold grows after rain or high humidity, and this kind of disease occurs in rain and snow even cloudy days. Dixong is a drug for the prevention and treatment of cotton rot. Its efficacy is not ideal, easy to photolysis, you can try when the disease occurs.

Second, how to ensure the quality?

Effective methods: sufficient water and fertilizer, exuberant plant growth, good quality of the results, in which timely picking rate is a measure to ensure quality.

Tip: tie 20 cm nylon to one end and tie the other to the tip of balsam pear to stretch and bend balsam pear to increase its length.
