In order to solveLoofahPumpkinFor the problem of only growing seedlings and not bearing melons, growers need to prepare for digging deep planting pits before the year. The purpose of digging deep planting pits is to loosen the soil and makeLoofahPumpkinThe taproot grows deep into the soil, smoothly expands the young roots, and roots downwards to absorb nutrients deep in the soil. The depth of the dug planting pit is generally 45 cm. The digging should be done before the soil freezes, usually before December 15.
Dig a good planting pit can play a certain role in the frozen soil andSoil miscellaneous fertilizerThis is conducive to cultivating strong seedlings and laying the foundation for more melons.
After digging the planting pit, you need to put a 20 cm thick pad on the bottom of the pitSoil miscellaneous fertilizer, and then do not fill in the soil, letSoil miscellaneous fertilizerIt is naturally decomposed in the pit. By applyingOrganic fertilizer, which can achieve the effect of increasing soil fertility.
It should be noted that in the fillingSoil miscellaneous fertilizer, choose general compost. There is no need to use overly fertile onesOrganic fertilizer, so as not to cause the phenomenon of vigorous seedlings, which is not conducive to the differentiation of female flowers. Also, flip it up and down after the yearSoil miscellaneous fertilizerto make it evenly rotten up and down.
Fill in the planting pitsSoil miscellaneous fertilizerAfter that, it is necessary to seal the soil twenty days before sowing. The excavated soil will be backfilled with a planting pit with a thickness of fifteen centimeters. If the excess soil is not filled, it can be left at the edge of the pit for future cultivation of melon roots.
Note that no more fertilization is applied before sowing, willFertilizersLeave it for top dressing at the seedling stage. Doing so will allow you to grow strong seedlings and avoid them being too long. If the female flowers appear in advance, and the young melons are seated and then topdressed, they can have a better growth effect.
This method is suitable not only for small quantities, but also for large areas for professional planting. This is the conclusion I have reached from more than 20 years of planting experience, and I suggest that you can give it a try to see if you can increase the number of melons and set melons early.
To think about next yearLoofahPumpkinThere are many knots, and the following measures should be taken now. First of all, dig deep planting pits for loosening the soil and makeLoofahPumpkinThe root system expands smoothly, absorbing nutrients to the deeper layers and increasing the growth of the seedlings. Secondly, apply the appropriate amountOrganic fertilizer, improve soil fertility, but do not over-fertilize, so as not to cause the phenomenon of vigorous seedlings. Finally, before sowing, the soil is sealed and filledSoil miscellaneous fertilizerto provide a suitable growth environment and pay attention to the timing of top dressing.
By taking these measures, it can be effectively addressedLoofahPumpkinThe problems of only growing seedlings without melons and premature senescence can promote more female flower differentiation and melon and fruit growth, and improve yield and quality.
The above methods are summarized based on my own planting experience and theoretical knowledge, and I hope it will be helpful to growers. However, because factors such as climate, soil conditions, and variety selection in each region will affect the results, they still need to be adjusted and practiced according to the actual situation. Good luck next year!
