Is bitter melon an annual plant? Is the bitter gourd in this year going to die after it bears fruit?

Yes, bitter gourd is an annual plant, and its life cycle is usually from spring to autumn, generally about 8 months to 10 months.

Bitter gourd needs to go through multiple stages such as germination, seedling, transplanting, growth, flowering, fruiting and senescence during the growth process. After completing its growth cycle, bitter melon plants will gradually enter the senescence stage and eventually wither and die. Therefore, if the bitter gourd has already borne fruit this year, then it may gradually senesce after fruiting and eventually die, but this does not mean that they are completely wilted.

If you want to continue growing bitter gourd, you will need to replant new bitter gourd plants or wait until next year to replant them.

It should be noted that the growth cycle of bitter gourd may be slightly different in different regions and varieties, so the growth cycle and suitable planting time of bitter gourd should be determined according to local climatic conditions and variety characteristics.

Yes. Bitter gourd has strong vitality, and it is generally planted to make shade sheds!

The growth and development process of bitter gourd can be divided into four periods: germination stage, seedling stage, vine extraction stage and flowering and fruiting period, with a cycle of about 100 to 200 days.

The growth cycle of bitter gourd begins with seed germination, and the seed germination period refers to the germination of seeds to the end of cotyledons, which is mainly rapid germination at a suitable temperature and humidity, which takes about 5 to 10 days.

The seedling stage is about 25 days at a suitable temperature of 20 to 25 from the beginning of the first true leaf to the appearance of 5 to 6 true leaves, and the beginning of tendrils on the plant.

The vine extraction stage refers to the beginning of the tendrils of the seedlings to the beginning of the budding of the plant, the stem from the original upright growth to the creeping growth on the ground, and the plant from vegetative growth to reproductive growth and vegetative growth at the same time.

The flowering and fruiting period refers to the plant from the bud to the end of growth, the length of the flowering and fruiting period in the growth cycle of bitter gourd is related to the level of cultivation and the environmental conditions of cultivation, the open field cultivation is generally 50 to 70 days, and the cultivation in the protected land can be as long as more than 150 days.

1. Seed germination period: from seed germination to the first pair of true leaves is the seed germination period, which is generally 5 10 days.

2. Seedling stage: from the first pair of true leaves to the fifth true leaves, the tendrils begin to be extracted for the seedling stage, which generally takes 7 10 days. At this stage, the axillary buds have begun to germinate.

3. Vine throwing period: from the beginning of the tendrils to the bud of the plant is the vine throwing period. The vine throwing period of bitter gourd is short, if the environmental conditions are suitable, and the buds appear around the end of the seedling stage, there is no vine throwing stage.

4. Flowering and fruiting period: The date from the opening of the first flower of the bitter gourd plant to the last one melon on the harvest plant is the flowering and fruiting period. The length of this period is greatly affected by the cultivation environment and management level, the short is only 50 70 days, and the long is more than 200 days.

Among them, it takes about 15 days from budding to first flowering. In the southern and northern areas of Hainan, the flowering period is generally 150 230 days. **。

Hello, planting season: bitter gourd spring planting is suitable, bitter gourd likes warmth, heat resistance is not cold hardy, seed germination suitable temperature 30 to 35 degrees Celsius, if below 20 degrees Celsius, germination is slow, thick seed coat, after 40 to 50 degrees Celsius warm water soaking seeds for 4 to 6 hours, about 30 degrees Celsius under germination, two days to begin germination, two and a half days of most of the germination, 13 degrees Celsius below germination difficult. Bitter gourd does not have strict requirements for the length of sunshine, likes light but is not shade-tolerant, and needs strong light at the flowering and fruiting stage, which is conducive to photosynthesis and the improvement of fruit setting rate.

Bitter gourd is moisture-loving and not waterlogg-tolerant, and requires 85% relative air humidity and soil moisture during growth. It has a wide adaptability to soil, but it is suitable for fertile loam soil with good water and fertilizer retention.

Growth cycle: bitter gourd is an annual herb that blooms from June to July. The fruiting period is from September to October, and the whole growth process of bitter gourd takes about 80 to 100 days, and it grows slowly before the vine extraction stage, and most of the stems and vines are formed in the flowering and fruiting stage.

Lateral vines occur from bottom to top in each node, forming multi-level stems. With the growth of stems and vines, the number of leaves and leaf area increased, and the flowering and fruiting period accounted for 95% of the leaf area of a single plant, which showed that the assimilation organ was formed in the middle and late flowering and fruiting period.

Introduction to bitter gourd growth.

Bitter gourd is adaptable. It originated in India and has a long history of cultivation in Southeast Asia. In China, bitter gourd is produced in the north and south.

Bitter gourd growth cycle.

Bitter gourd, if planted with different varieties, can be sown from mid-February to mid-July, and the whole growth process takes about 80-100 days.

Bitter gourd growth rate.

The flowering period of bitter gourd is from June to July, the fruiting period is from September to October, and the growth period is 80-100 days. It grows slowly before the flowering period, and most of its stems and vines are formed during the flowering and fruiting period.

Bitter gourd growth cycle management.

The yield of bitter gourd is related to the variety, cultivation technique, growing season, etc. Yields are generally between 3000 and 5000 kg, with late-maturing varieties and disease-resistant varieties usually yielding higher. Temperature Management:

The germination temperature of bitter gourd seeds is 30-35 degrees. After soaking in warm locust water at 40-50 degrees for 4-6 hours, germination begins two days later. Plants should preferably grow in an environment of about 20-30 degrees.

Fertilization management: Bitter gourd should be treated with base fertilizer, farmhouse fertilizer, compound fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer, and add some nitrogen fertilizer when the bitter gourd grows to a foot and a half high. When flowering and fruiting, more boron fertilizer can be added to increase yield.

Bitter gourd wilt is a fungal disease, which occurs in the nodes of the main vine stem, and the symptoms of scalding occur at the beginning of the infection, and the disease soon expands to the internodes at the upper and lower ends. Later, the diseased part becomes brown, rots and shrinks, and the stems and leaves above the affected part lose water and droop and wither. This disease can also occur in the ground roots, and the symptoms of scalding are also shown at the beginning after infection, and then the diseased part turns brown, rots and shrinks, and the aboveground plants lose water and wither.

If the control is not timely, it will cause a serious reduction in the yield of bitter gourd. The following describes the prevention and control methods of bitter gourd wilt: 1. Cultivation and control 1

Disease-resistant varieties of infiltration ridges were selected. 2.Soil treatment.

When preparing the soil, the soil is exposed to the sun for 5-7 days, so that the soil is fully whitened and weathered. Apply 50 kg to 75 kg of lime per mu to neutralize soil acidity and inhibit the growth of pathogens. 3.

High furrow deep pit. High temperature and humidity are prone to blight, and the planting method of high furrow deep pit is used to reduce the groundwater level, prevent water accumulation after rain, and ventilate the soil on the furrow surface, which can reduce the disease. 4.

Shear the blades. When the disease begins to occur, the basal leaves are thinned to ventilate and drain the vegetation and furrow surface in the field, which can inhibit the development and spread of the pathogen and reduce the occurrence of the disease. 2. Pharmaceutical prevention and control When the disease begins to occur, the diseased plant should be pulled out quickly, and 75% chlorothalonil 500 times -800 times liquid should be sprayed at the same time, or 50% carbendazim 500 times -600 times liquid, or 70% dixongen powder 500 times -800 times liquid, sprayed every 7 days to 10 days, 3 times to 4 times in a row.

Each time the liquid is sprayed on the stems and vines of the lower half of the plant, and the leaves are sprayed until they are wet and do not drip, and the good effect can be obtained.
