Moonlight flower planting method

1. Selecting stubble for soil preparation

Choose Pingchuan with good drainage and fertile soil, low-lying land and hills with irrigation conditions. Avoid watermelons and other melons, welcome stubble. Soil preparation: top pulp and ridge, timely suppression and preservation of soil moisture. The transplanted ridge is a long-mouth ridge. The width of the ridge is 9~13cm, and 7 to 8 empty ridges in the middle should also be planted to control weeds.

2. Seed soaking and budding

The varieties of Japanese green gourd were soaked in 40 ℃ warm water for 12 hours, then wrapped with gauze and dried, and opened the soaked sweet gourd seeds. Use a wooden trough or ordinary basin, pad with a layer of sterilized sawdust or sand, and then cover with a layer of gauze, put the soaked seeds evenly on the gauze, cover with a wrenched new towel, cover with a curtain, cover with a quilt to accelerate sprouting, and use a new brush to brush water twice a day. The budding temperature is generally 25-28 ℃. It is required to pick out the budded seeds every day, put them in another basin and put them in a cool place indoors to control the growth of the buds.

3. Seeding in seedbed

① seedbed preparation

8~10cm rice horse dung or chopped grass on the bottom of the seedbed, covered with a layer of soil, tread flat. At the same time, disinfect with 70% 0.3~0.6g/ prednisone wettable powder and buckle the shed at the same time. After sowing the seeds, buckle the shed on the seedbed.

② nutrient soil preparation

Select the soil that has not used herbicides such as Pushter, Dousulfuron and so on, and sift it well, and mix it with the screened mature farm manure at 7:2.

③ bagging and sowing

The nutrient soil was put into a 10cm × 15cm plastic bag, and 20 grains of diammonium were put as base fertilizer at the bottom of the plastic bag. The bottom corner of the bag was cut open or 2-4 eyes with 8~10mm holes were pierced at the bottom to penetrate water. The sowing time is based on the local season. Use a wooden stick to pierce 3~4cm deep eyes in the middle of the nutrition bag, put the budding seeds down, and water them once after covering the soil.

4. Maintenance and management

The moonlight flower likes the dry soil environment with micro-tide, and its growth is exuberant in the high temperature season in summer, so the supply of water should be ensured at this time. It has a large demand for fertilizer, except for the application of base fertilizer in planting, it can be topdressing dilute liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks in the stage of vigorous growth.

Moonlight flowers like the environment with plenty of sunlight, and should not be exposed to sunlight for less than 4 hours a day. It likes to be warm, is not cold-resistant, and grows well in the temperature range of 18-28 ℃. A bracket should be set up in time to ensure that the seedlings have something to rely on when they grow up and get on the shelves smoothly. In actual cultivation, moonlight will be damaged by powdery mildew and attacked by aphids and other harmful animals. If it occurs, timely measures should be taken to deal with it.
