Environmental requirements for the growth of towel gourd

Towel gourd is a kind of annual vegetable for climbing. It is cultivated in tropical temperate zone. It can be used as medicine, which is beneficial to urine and promoting blood circulation. Towel gourd also has its own needs for light, temperature, humidity, soil, nutrition, and other environmental conditions, which may lead to poor growth, less gourd and poor taste without a completely good growth environment. Then I will introduce to you what are the best growth conditions for towel gourd.

1. Temperature

Towel gourd likes temperature and is heat-resistant and not cold-resistant, so it takes more than 20 degrees for seeds to germinate and grow rapidly above 30 degrees and below 35 degrees for growth. Vines need more than 25 degrees and less than 30 degrees during the day and more than 18 degrees at night. The growth below 15 degrees is affected, 10 degrees does not grow, 5 degrees frost injury, and then the seedlings will die.

2. Moisture

Resistant to waterlogging and loving humidity, enough moisture is needed throughout the growing period, so the soil moisture should be kept between 60% and 80% at ordinary times, and the air humidity can be higher than the soil moisture, and then the soil moisture is more than 65% in the prosperous period to grow well. Not less than 55% water content. Only a moist environment can grow well.

3. Lighting

It is sensitive to light changes, but it is not strict with light requirements, and it can grow well in some shady places. However, towel gourd is a short-day crop, which mainly grows in short-day conditions, but it can light longer during flowering and fruiting, which is beneficial to fruit setting.

4. Soil nutrition

The soil has loose requirements and good adaptability, but in the deep layer, the soil with good drainage, good fertilizer retention, good permeability and complete structural layer is more suitable for planting. This kind of soil is generally nutritious and can be planted with some humus nutrient soil. Fertilization should be based on nitrogen fertilizer, a small amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and then base fertilizer, stable manure and compost to improve the soil environment.

5. Gas

Winter color facility cultivation light and action raw material carbon dioxide because of less ventilation is easy to lack, so chemical methods can be used to artificially increase some carbon dioxide. To increase light and the role of nutritional products, and then increase nutrition, which is beneficial to growth.

Towel gourd growth environment of several major requirements are the above specific details, although not all can be done, but as far as possible to provide a good growth environment, but also the scope of planting towel gourd should be considered.
