The yield of wax gourd is relatively high, and the cultivation in our country is extremely wide. From the peak of the autumn harvest each year, the price often plunged. If farmers use their own existing conditions for the storage and preservation of wax gourd, it can extend the sale period of wax gourd, but also increase economic benefits, it is worth promoting. First, suitable storage conditions and preparation before storage: melon temperature and heat resistance, is a cold-sensitive vegetables, intolerant of low temperature storage, below 10 °C tends to occur cold injury. Suitable temperature for storage is 10-15°C, relative humidity is 70-75%, and good ventilation is required. The water content of wax gourd is higher, tender melon and over ripe melon should not be stored. The melons to be stored should have thick skin, thick flesh, dense texture, good quality, shiny green skin, and waxy varieties on the surface. Nine mature, 7-10 days before harvesting, the growing field should be stopped and the water should be collected. 3 to 5 cm of cucurbits, cut with scissors when the weather is cool. (It's best to pick in the morning). During the handling process, care should be taken to prevent scratches and bumps. Special attention should be paid to the prevention of throwing and rolling, so as to avoid damage to the wax gourd, and to cause serious hidden troubles in storage. Second, the preparation of storage kiln: The size of the storage kiln is determined according to the number of melons stored. The farmhouse's own kiln store is mostly about 30 square meters, and can store 10,000 pounds. The construction is mostly semi-underground, ie, the kiln room is about 3.6 meters high, the surface is 1.8 meters above and below, and there are kiln storage windows around. Turn left and right to facilitate ventilation and ventilation. This structure has the characteristics of high constant temperature, cool, convenient ventilation, and easy control of dry humidity. Two to three days before the winter gourd storage should be fully carried out within the disinfection and sterilization, the method is: that is, potassium permanganate fuming kiln library, closed after treatment, and then need to store the storage of winter melon. Third, the storage methods and precautions: Select a well-selected neat, undamaged melon storage or rack storage. The piled melons should be covered with hay or straw curtains on the bottom of the warehouse, and then placed on the top melon, generally not more than three layers, so as not to damage the pressure injury. The storage of wax gourd due to better ventilation, the effect is better than heap storage, but the storage of melon should also be on the storage rack first padding soft ventilation materials such as hay, and then put the melon put in the placement process, should be based on melon When the field is growing, it is placed in a state in which the field is erect and growing. When it is stored, it should be placed upright. The field is crawling and grows horizontally. It should also be placed side by side during storage. It must be done how long the field is. How to put the kiln library must not be misplaced. Because the guagu has been adapted to its direction of gravity, it maintains its original gravity direction during storage, and it is not prone to laceration, and the storage time can be longer. During storage, especially when the wax gourd is in storage, attention should be paid to the ventilation. When the temperature is high at noon, the storage window must be opened for ventilation. This will not only exclude the moisture, but also reduce the environmental humidity and keep the inside of the warehouse dry. . Winter melon storage period, as long as you can grasp the temperature and humidity conditions, generally can be stored for 3-4 months or more.
