How to achieve high yield in pumpkin planting

Pumpkin is a common vegetable, which can not only be used in cooking but also difficult to boil porridge or processed into other agricultural and sideline products, so do you know how to grow pumpkin to get high yield? Let's get to know it with the editor.

1. Build a frame and pick the heart.

When the vines of pumpkins grow to about 3 meters, they will begin to be put on the shelves. Pumpkins are relatively heavy, and vines alone cannot be supported, so it is necessary to build a frame to bear the weight of pumpkins, reduce diseases and insect pests, and improve the rate of melon sitting. It won't let the melon rot when it grows. When the vine grows to about 2 meters, it is necessary to pick the heart to make the main vine grow into sub-vines, promote the vine to blossom and bear fruit, and increase the yield.

2. Prevent overgrowth

The excessive growth of pumpkin vines will reduce the number of melons, so in order to prevent the excessive growth of vines, it is necessary to control the application of nitrogen fertilizer and increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. You can also cut a small opening in the middle of the vine with a knife at the root of the vine, and then plug a small piece of charcoal into the mouth, which can prevent its nutrient and water transport, and the top branches and leaves can not grow without nutrition. you can control the overgrowth of melon vines.

3. Spray up and down

Pumpkin is larger, so in the fruit period to do a good job of topdressing, improve yield and quality, can be in the fruit period, every 10 days spraying foliar fertilizer, using leaf stomata to dilute fertilizer, spray on the back of the leaves, do not spray on the pumpkin, will make the melon bad, thus affecting the yield. When spraying foliar fertilizer, organic irrigating fertilizer can also be applied to the root, which is better than the traditional fertilization method. This flushing fertilizer does not hurt the root, but also takes effect quickly, and the crops are absorbed more easily.

4. Auxiliary pollination

Auxiliary pollination can significantly increase the setting rate. When the female flower blooms, it can be covered with melon leaves. Between 8: 00 and 9: 00 the next morning, the male flower of different plants will be taken out and put over the female flower. After 2 days, it can be removed. In addition, when there are yellow leaves on the flowering and fruiting vines, they should be removed in time to reduce nutrient consumption and let pumpkins bear more melons.
