Strengthen winter management to increase loofah yield

In winter, due to the low temperature, a large number of vegetables are cut down, which is the biggest headache for the vegetable farmers. The master of loofah planting in Handong village of Luocheng Subdistrict, Shouguang City, Shandong Province, has been managed. The loofah in his shed has been affected by low temperature, but compared with other loofah growers, the production of loofah is much higher. . He believes that the overwintering of loofahs and loofahs requires high yields, and the management of the outcome period is very important.

1. During January-February light, temperature adjustment of loofah likes strong light, heat resistance, moisture resistance, and cold, it is necessary to adjust light and temperature in time for over-wintering cultivation of gourd gourd in off-season cultivation, especially to strengthen the lighting in January-February. Temperature management. The temperature in the shed is controlled from 24°C to 30°C, and the maximum temperature does not exceed 32°C. At night, the temperature is controlled from 12°C to 18°C. The shortest minimum temperature in the morning is not less than 10°C. When encountering severe cold weather, the minimum temperature in the shed must not be lower than 8°C. As the loofah is resistant to moisture, ventilation and dehumidification times and ventilation can be reduced for heat preservation.

Second, the results of the water and fertilizer supply after the flowering fruit gourd loofah period, the plant vegetative and reproductive growth have entered a period of vigorous growth, the amount of plant gradually increased, the production of melon increased, the amount of water consumption of fertilizer also gradually increased. In order to meet the demand of high-yield cultivation of loofah for water and fertilizer, the time between watering and topdressing should be gradually shortened, and the amount of watering and fertilizer should also be increased accordingly. In the early stage of flowering and fruiting period (January-February), every time two harvested tender melons (between 20 and 25 days) are poured, water is poured 1 times, and chicken manure and human fecal urine are thoroughly decomposed with water. Or flush with humic acid fertilizers, etc., if necessary, release carbon dioxide gas fertilizer in the shed. In March to May, red-fat quick-applied fertilizer and foliar-sprayed quick-acting fertilizer should be alternated, that is, water should be poured once every 10 days or so, and water-efficient nitrogen-potassium-calcium compound fertilizer or organic quick-acting compound fertilizer should be used for water flushing, generally per mu. Shi 10 to 12 kg. At the same time, the leaves were sprayed once every 10 days or so, such as Feng harvest No.1, to regulate plant growth.

Third, the whole twig tufted loofah main vines and side vines can be melon. Overwintering gourd gourd, in the highly dense planting conditions, should be left single vine pruning. In the early stage of squashing and in the early stage of flowering and squashing, the axillary buds between the main vine leaves and pods should be wiped off in time, leaving no side vines, leaving one main vine per plant for hanging vines. In the middle of the long-lasting flowering squash, in addition to using the main vine, it can also leave 2-3 nodes of short side vines. That is to say, leave a melon on the side vines, and leave one leaf after the squash seated to carry out the topping, so that all side vines of the whole plant leave one melon. In the latter part of the flowering period, the thin sided vines will be wiped off early to protect the main vines and the well-developed side vines. After the normal vines are grown, they will be 2-3 after the tender vines are thawed to make the same plants. Side vines and main vines simultaneously produce melons.

Fourth, cultivating strong vines Under low-temperature and low-light conditions, loofah plants often appear to grow slowly, stem vines are weak, melon strips grow slowly, the phenomenon of fruit fall. Therefore, nurturing strong arrogance is the key to getting out of low-yield predicament. (a) Stay melon late. During the cold season, the plants grow slowly, and if they stay too early, they are likely to fall. In order to ensure the balance between vegetative and reproductive growth during the nectarine period, the head loofah should be preserved when the plant has 22 leaves. After the loofah enters the guava period, in order to ensure the coordinated development of vegetative growth and reproductive growth, 4 to 5 leaves should be left with one melon, so generally there will be no premature aging. If thin stalks appear in the loofah, it should be promptly wiped out and the vines should be promoted first. Then look at the situation and decide to stay. (b) Conservation of the root system. Although the root system of the loofah is well developed, the root growth rate is slow when the ground temperature is low in winter. If the water and fertilizer are too large once, it is very easy to cause root damage and affect the development of the root system, which in turn makes the vine thin and weak. Therefore, when watering and fertilizing, the amount of water must be Small, must not flood irrigation. Fertilizer should use biological fertilizer or humic acid fertilizer to root root.

This winter, when there are more cloudy days and more foggy days, many loofah growers have watered the first day because they didn’t listen to the weather forecast in advance. The next day, they experienced cooling and snowfall, which caused damage to the loofah’s root system. Therefore, in the winter vegetable management process, special attention should be paid to weather changes. When deciding on watering, at least 2 to 3 days of good weather after watering must be ensured and should be carried out in the morning. After watering, it is necessary to close the shed to warm up and increase the temperature of the ground.

In addition to cultivate disease-free strong vines. Botrytis, sclerotia, and bacterial soft rot are the major diseases that damage the growth of loofah in winter. In the management process, we must “prevention-oriented, comprehensive prevention and control” in order to cultivate disease-free strong vines.
