What month was the gourd planted?

Cultivation points: before and after Qingming, plant melon beans. On March 3rd, plant a gourd. Sowing from late March to early April can be planted in the open field, with row spacing of 75- 100 cm and plant spacing of 80 cm, and harvesting from late June to late September, with an yield of about 2000 kg per mu.

Suitable growth temperature: 15℃-28℃

Sowing period: March-April

Flowering: June-July

Seedling raising method: select fertile loam to preserve seeds. Seedlings can be cultivated in nursery pots or on the ground in greenhouses. Sowing and sowing: select seeds with full grains, blanch them with 70℃ hot water and stir them quickly. When the water temperature drops to 30℃, the seeds are soaked for 65,438 02 hours, and then germinated at 28℃-30℃. You can also use an electric blanket. It will germinate in 3-4 minutes. When the bud length is 0.5-65,438+0 cm, plant it when raising seedlings.

Sowing method: the seeds are laid flat, covered with 1cm soil, then watered, covered with newspaper until they germinate, so as to avoid water evaporation, and placed in a semi-shady place where water cannot be touched. Keep the soil surface moisture, and seedlings will emerge in ten days. Sow when there is no wind on a sunny day, and water the seedbed first.

Transplanting management: the seedling age is 30-40 days, and four real leaves can be transplanted and planted in the open field. Choose a fertile, sunny and well-drained place, apply sufficient base fertilizer (in order to better absorb the nutrients in the soil, fertilization should be carried out before gourd planting 10 days), dig deeply, plant one plant with a spacing of about 50 cm, pour enough water, apply fertilizer in time after survival, and put up a shed in time for climbing. The skin of the tender fruit is sticky and stops growing when touched. This feature can be used to produce neat and consistent gourds.

Field management: topdressing when the seedlings grow to 5-7 leaves, digging shallow furrows in the high border, topdressing 800 kg-1000 kg of decomposed chicken manure or other farm manure per mu, covering the furrows and watering, generally not watering during flowering. In order to promote smooth fruit setting, topdressing and watering should be done in time after fruit setting, and then watering should be done properly during the fruit setting period. In the whole growth period of natural gourd, it is necessary to turn over the ground and weed for at least three times, requiring deep ploughing, fine ploughing and thorough ploughing to promote the vigorous growth of hairy roots. Before the plants are thrown out, they should be inserted into tic-tac-toe or herringbone frames in time, and vines should be placed on the frames. When the main vine grows to about 2 meters, it should be picked up to promote the germination of lateral vines. After the lateral vine sees the fruit, it is necessary to pick two leaves and tie the vine in time. When tying vines, invalid side branches and withered old leaves can be cut off to improve the ventilation and light transmission conditions inside the plants. When the branches and vines of the gourd reach under the shed, pinching the tips and vines becomes an important job every day because of the growth of vines. If you don't pay attention, you will lose all your efforts. Moreover, this period is a period of frequent occurrence of pests and diseases, and prevention is more important than treatment. Powdery mildew, virus disease and aphid are the main pests and diseases in the growth period of baogourd, so it is necessary to control them in time according to the relevant pest control methods. In the middle and late period of gourd growth, the main tasks are pollination, fruit picking, cleaning up dead leaves and supporting large scoops.
