Management of towel gourd after planting

Towel gourd has high nutritional value and good taste, so the market demand in our country is very large. So now there are many people in the cultivation of towel gourd, when planting towel gourd, towel gourd seedling planting work is very important. In particular, the management of loofah colonization will directly affect the growth ability of towel gourd. So how to manage towel gourd after planting? Today, the editor brings you the management of towel gourd after planting. Let's take a look at it.

1. Temperature management

After the towel gourd is planted, the first thing we do well is temperature management. Towel gourd after planting until the slow seedling period, the temperature during the day should be controlled between 30-35 degrees, and the temperature difference between night and day should be kept at about 10 degrees. Then after the seedlings are successfully slowed down, the temperature during the day and night should be appropriately reduced by about 5 degrees. Remember that the temperature should not be too high, if the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, then it should be ventilated and cooled in time. Similarly, if the temperature is too low and below 15 degrees, then the ventilation should be reduced, and then the greenhouse film should be covered until after the towel gourd is harvested.

2. Fertilizer and water management

Towel gourd requires sufficient water content in the soil. A moist soil environment should be maintained throughout the growth period of towel gourd. In the early stage of towel gourd growth, slow seedling water should be poured after slow seedling. Then during the flowering and fruiting period, it will be watered every seven days or so. After entering the peak harvest period, it is watered every 3 days or so. Watering should not be carried out on cloudy and rainy days, keep a uniform watering, and do not flood. Then, in the case of applying sufficient base fertilizer, we should also do a good job of topdressing, once with water after slowing down seedlings, mainly compound fertilizer. During the flowering and fruit period, topdressing is done once a week, and about once for every two harvests during the harvest period. Do not take off fertilizer in the flowering and fruit stage, otherwise it is easy to appear abnormal fruit, resulting in the decline of quality.

3. Plant adjustment

The plant adjustment of towel gourd after planting is also very important. When the loofah grows to about 40cm, hang the rope in time, do a good job of drawing the vine on the shelf, and tie up the vine to avoid falling off. Remove all the lateral vines of the plant before putting it on the shelf. And after getting on the shelf, if the melon vine grows too dense, then some of the sturdy side vines should be left and the rest should be removed. In the growth process of towel gourd, we should remove all kinds of tendrils, deformed fruits and so on in time. In the middle and later stage, it is necessary to remove the old leaves and yellow leaves in the lower part of the plant, improve the plant permeability and reduce the incidence of diseases and insect pests.

4. Artificial pollination

In the early stage of towel gourd planting, if the temperature is low and the light intensity is weak, it will have a great impact on the fruit setting rate of towel gourd. Therefore, if we encounter this kind of environment after planting towel gourd, we should pay attention to artificial pollination. We can also release bees in the shed and use bees for pollination. In this way, it can effectively improve the fruit setting rate and yield of towel gourd.

The above is a brief introduction to the management of towel gourd after planting. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
