At present, there is a very large area of pumpkin cultivation in all parts of the country, and farmers have a lot of experience in pumpkin cultivation. Today, Bian Xiao will introduce you to the planting and management methods of pumpkins!
1, the planting time of pumpkin is probably from February to March in the lunar calendar every year, which is the time from Tomb-Sweeping Day to spring in the 24 solar terms we often say. This stage is also the stage when everything recovers and germinates. The ambient temperature is gradually rising, and the precipitation is very sufficient, which is just suitable for planting seedlings.
2. Planting method 2. 1 Spread plastic film Although the temperature has warmed up at this time, the ambient temperature is still quite low for pumpkin seedlings, so it is necessary to spread agricultural plastic film on the ground to improve the temperature and humidity of the ground and ensure the normal growth of seedlings. In the case of choosing agricultural plastic film, you can choose a mound with a total width of 50 cm, or you can choose a film material with a width of 140cm to cover all ditches.
In the case of paving, the membrane material is first covered on the soil surface, and then stones or stones are pressed around to fix it. At this time, there is no need to punch holes in the film material, but after the seedlings are planted, when the ground temperature is too high, to reduce the environmental temperature in the film.
2.2 Selection and treatment of seeds After selecting the type you want to plant, pick out withered or incomplete seeds, and put the healthy seeds in the sun for 2-3 days on sunny days, which is conducive to enhancing the charm of the seeds, and is more conducive to the long roots and budding behind them. Then prepare warm boiled water within 55 degrees in advance, soak all the seeds in it, and keep stirring for 15 minutes until the water temperature drops to 30 degrees, and then let the seeds soak in it for three or four hours.
When the time is up, wipe off the skin and mucus of the seeds by hand, wrap them with a wet rag, and put them in the natural environment with an ambient temperature of 25~30 degrees to wait for the teeth to urge 1~2 days. Finally, if 80% of the seeds are leaked, the seeds can be sown. If the natural environment is suitable, you can also start sowing immediately, which will save a lot of working procedures, but the regulations on the natural environment are relatively high, and the emergence rate is not as high as the above methods.
2.3 Before sowing, irrigate enough water for the soil layer to digest and absorb, so as to ensure the water consumption for the growth of pumpkin seedlings. Put 3~4 seeds in each hole, and then cover it with 2 ~ 3 cm soil layer. If the ground temperature is kept at 25~30℃, all seeds will germinate within 1~2 weeks. Therefore, at this time, we must pay attention to the temperature control, often check whether the agricultural film is damaged, and repair it in time if it is damaged.
3. Cultivation techniques 3. 1 After the seeds germinate, the seedlings can be fixed in the process of growing to 3-4 leaves, because the seedlings are mature at this time. Sowing time should be chosen in sunny afternoon, when the sunshine is not so obvious. I will water it thoroughly before planting, and then I will plant 1~2 seedlings in a cave.
3.2 Fertilization If pumpkin seedlings are to grow healthily and robustly, this fertilization stage is essential. After the seedlings are planted for about 10, the first fertilization can be carried out. This fertilization only uses spraying some organic fertilizer, and the concentration of organic fertilizer does not need to be too high. It is best to use cold water and dilute it several times.
When the pumpkin vines gradually bear fruit, it is necessary to pay attention to a large number of fertilizers to achieve the nutrients needed for the growth of pumpkin fruits. Fertilizer can be buried in the roots of pumpkin seedlings, poured into water, and then covered with soil, which can promote the comprehensive digestion and absorption of nutrients in the roots. 1 After the fruits are harvested, they should be supplemented with nutrients in time to ensure the normal growth of the following fruits.
3.3 scaffolding pumpkin vines need to be scaffolding when they grow to a certain stage. Reasonable scaffolding can ensure that pumpkins grow longer and bear more fruits outside the vines, and the branches and leaves will not block each other and weaken photosynthesis. Planting in the shed can save more space, and the fruit growing in the air is also beneficial to the later monitoring and picking. The most important thing is to let pumpkins leave the soil to help prevent fruits from rotting in the soil.
