How to raise seedlings of Pumpkin

Pumpkin is planted in all parts of our country, and its adaptability to the environment is very strong. Pumpkin planting is also very simple, but not all pumpkin planting yields are so high, in the process of planting often do not produce melon phenomenon. Pumpkin yield and seedling cultivation is also a certain relationship, today we first understand the next pumpkin seedling technology bar.

1. Seed selection

Before sowing pumpkin, we need to select the variety of pumpkin, usually according to the local climate, select the most suitable variety for local growth, and then select the seed memory. Under normal circumstances, we will choose full particles, no external scars, no pests, no mold, good quality seeds. Such seed germination rate is higher, and later fruit rate is also higher.

2. Seed bed preparation

Pumpkins do not require any soil to grow, but in order to grow healthy pumpkin seedlings, we also need to prepare seedbeds. Pumpkin seedbeds can be built indoors or in the open air. The size of the seedbed is generally prepared according to the size of the planting scale, which is related to the seeding amount of pumpkin. Seedbed permeability should be good, fertility should be sufficient, so conducive to seed emergence. Seedbed in the nutrient soil we can use farm manure and loose soil mixed configuration and then spread, the thickness of forty or fifty centimeters can be.

3. Seed treatment

We also need to treat the seeds before sowing, which is conducive to seed germination. Of course, it is possible not to carry out treatment, but the speed of emergence will be relatively slow. First, the seeds are soaked in warm water and stirred constantly. After 12 hours, they are taken out, drained, and then placed in an environment with a temperature of about 28 degrees Celsius for germination. When the seeds sprout white, they can be sown.

4. Scientific sowing

Pumpkin seeds are generally sown at the end of February to the beginning of March each year. It is best to dress seeds with carbendazim before sowing, so as to avoid the harm of underground pests to pumpkin seeds. Sowing we generally use the direct seeding method can be, the seeds evenly scattered on the seedbed above, and then with a thin layer of nutrient soil to cover the seeds can be. Of course, we can also use the method of drilling, but this is a little more troublesome than live broadcasting.

5. Seedling management

Pumpkin after sowing, we mainly pay attention to the seedbed temperature and humidity management. Just after sowing, the temperature in the seedbed is preferably about eighteen to twenty-five degrees, which is conducive to seed emergence. After more than half of the seeds have sprouted, the temperature of the seedbed should be about fifteen to twenty degrees Celsius. During the seedling period, to keep the seedbed moist, generally every seven days to irrigate water, but the amount of watering should not be too large, as long as the soil has a certain humidity can be guaranteed.

Pumpkin seedling technology Xiaobian will be introduced to you here, I believe that through the above reading, there is basically no problem with pumpkin seedling, if you want to understand pumpkin planting technology, you can pay attention to us oh.
