High-yield cultivation mode of loofah
1. Land preparation for loofah planting requires a larger row spacing, and also needs to be erected. In order to rationally use the land and increase the multiple cropping index, it is generally intercropped with other vegetables. Before planting, set aside loofah planting rows. Because the main root of the loofah is deep, the growth period is long, and the amount of fertilizer required is large, it must be deep tilled more than 30 cm, and a large amount of organic fertilizers should be used as the base fertilizer. Generally, 4000~5000 kg of decomposed farm manure and 30~35 kg of superphosphate are applied per acre. , Potassium sulfate 15-20 kg, deep turn into the border, the border width is generally 1.5 to 1.6 meters. 2. Fine sowing loofah seeds can be sown in the nutrient tray. This sowing method has the advantages of strong seedlings, short seedling period, no root damage, and fast recovery growth. The nutrient soil is mostly mixed with new soil organic substrate, farm manure and chemical fertilizer. to make. During the formal planting, the nutrient soil must be irrigated with water, 12-15 seeds are sown in a pan, covered with fine sand in time after planting, and sprayed with water frequently. 3. Fertilizer and water management The loofah has the characteristics of long-term continuous fruiting, so the plant has a large demand for nutrients, and sufficient nutrient supply must be ensured. This is a key measure for the growth of loofah and the increase in yield. Fertilization of loofah gourd should be early, diligent, and sufficient. After the planting of loofah seedlings is restored, it should be combined with watering, topdressing farmyard manure and chemical fertilizer to effectively promote the growth and development of the seedling root system and lay the foundation for later growth. Fertilization during this period of time is not allowed. Too much, to avoid burning roots to damage the seedlings. After the loofah starts to bear fruit, increase the amount of fertilizer. After the loofah is harvested, pay attention to fertilizing frequently to ensure the nutrient requirements for flowering and fruiting. In dry weather, water frequently and more frequently. At the same time, the loofah should be watered evenly. Flooding must not be flooded. In heavy rain, water should be drained in time to avoid accumulation of water and damage to roots. 4. The branching of whole vine loofah is strong. If the stems and leaves are too luxuriant, it will not only be prone to lengthening, but will also reduce the results. Therefore, it is necessary to moderately thin the vines and adopt single vine pruning. All side vines should be cut off as soon as possible. 5. After the artificial emasculation is put on the shelves of the melon vines, pruning and digging should be carried out continuously, and the appropriate number of male flowers should be removed. Generally, only one main vine per plant is reserved for loofah, and other side branches and buds must be removed at any time. Loofah is a male and female flower in the same node, there are more male flowers, it will cause excessive consumption of nutrients, you can pick the male flower buds appropriately. 6. Harvesting In general, it takes about 50-60 days from planting to harvesting, and 7-10 days from the opening of female flowers to harvesting. Loofah is mainly fed by tender fruits and has the characteristics of continuous fruiting. Early or late harvest will affect yield and quality. After the start of harvesting, it will be harvested once every 3 to 5 days. When the fruit is full, it will be harvested once a day.
