Fertilization techniques for high yield of wax gourd

Wax gourd is a very common vegetable on our daily table, and it is grown all over our country. When planting wax gourd, most of them pay special attention to the yield. If you want wax gourd to be high-yield, then fertilization is very important. A reasonable and suitable fertilization is the key to meet the growth and nutrition of wax gourd. So how to fertilize wax gourd to achieve high yield? Today, the editor has brought you the high-yield fertilization technology of wax gourd. Let's take a look at it.

1. Base fertilizer

The growth period of wax gourd is longer than that of other vegetables, so there is a greater demand for fertilizer, so adequate base fertilizer should be applied before planting. Especially during the growing period of wax gourd, if it is inconvenient for Rain Water to apply fertilizer, it is very important to apply adequate base fertilizer. The base fertilizer is mainly rotten farm manure, which is applied to about 6000kg per mu. If the soil is barren, then an appropriate amount of potassium sulfate and other compound fertilizer can be applied. When preparing the soil, scatter it, turn the 30cm deeply around, and rake it fine and flat. In addition, wax gourd has a large demand for calcium, so if the soil is too sour, it should be mixed with the right amount of lime.

2. Seedling fertilizer

In the wax gourd seedling stage, we should pay attention to the application of appropriate amount of seedling fertilizer. Seedling fertilizer is generally based on small water and light fertilizer to avoid too much fertilizer and produce too much heat and cause the seedlings to be burned out. About seven days after the seedling is planted, when the plant slows down the seedling, it is necessary to pour an appropriate amount of slow seedling water. If the base fertilizer is applied too little, then after the seedlings slow down, the fertilizer can be applied lightly once. Fertilizer is poured with mature manure with a concentration of about 20%, and urea or compound fertilizer can also be used for hole application, and the dosage must be strictly controlled.

3. Vine fertilizer

Before the wax gourd is drawn, the amount of topdressing should be kept at about 35% of all topdressing. The main purpose of fertilization in this period is to promote the growth of vine leaves, but we should also pay attention to control the concentration and dosage. Avoid excessively causing dark green leaves and short internodes. If the base fertilizer is sufficient and the plant grows well, then there is no need to apply fertilizer. On the contrary, if the fertility is too low, it is necessary to open ditches and fertilize when the seedlings have about 5 leaves. Apply an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer per mu to control fertilizer and water, especially nitrogen fertilizer, after the female flower grows until the fruit is set, so as to avoid the phenomenon of melons caused by excessive growth of stems and leaves.

4. Blossom and bear fruit

When applying fertilizer during the flowering and fruiting period of wax gourd, the amount of fertilizer should be kept at about 65% of the total topdressing. Fertilization at flowering and fruiting stage has a great effect on the yield of wax gourd. Usually should be carried out after sitting melon, to avoid the phenomenon of falling flowers and fruits, at the same time to ensure complete nutrition. Then after the melon is seated, it is necessary to apply melon fertilizer in time. In the middle and later stages of fruit expansion, a small amount of topdressing should be taken as the principle of fertilization, topdressing every half a month or so. High nitrogen and potassium compound fertilizer around 25kg every time. The dosage and times should be adjusted properly according to the fertilization in the early stage of wax gourd and the time of harvest.

The above is a brief introduction to the high-yield fertilization technology of wax gourd. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
