What should I do if the chayote that has been left behind has taken root?

It can be used.

Chayote. It is one of the high-quality vegetables that people like to eat in summer and autumn. Doing a good job in the selection and retention of chayote seeds is an important part of the harvest in the coming year. The following is an introduction to the selection and retention method of chayote:

1. Isolated anti-mixed chayote is a cross-pollinated crop, and it needs to be separated at least 2 kilometers away from the planting field to plant other chayote varieties. Otherwise, it is easy to naturally string powder and hybridize between different varieties, so that the remaining varieties are mixed and impure.

2. Artificially assisted pollination chayote in the flowering period, in rainy weather, is not conducive to cross-pollination, to carry out artificial assisted pollination, in order to improve the yield of seed retention.

3. In the vigorous fruiting period, chayote should be planted in combination with fruit picking and marketing. When chayote is harvested 2 or 3 times for the first time, it begins to enter the vigorous fruiting period, and the seeds can be retained.

4. The selection of good seeds should be selected to grow robustly, without diseases and pests, with many fruits, melon shape, with the characteristics of this variety of plants as reserved plants.

5. Choose 2 or 3 fruits close to the base for seed melons. The rest of the young fruits are removed as soon as possible, and the nutrients are concentrated to grow melons.

6. Timely harvestingWhen the seed melon has been fully ripe and has not turned yellow, it should be harvested, and the gourd is about 5 7 cm deep with a knife, and the internal seeds are taken out, and the fruit can still be marketed. At this time, the melon has turned bright red, which is a symbol of ripeness.

7. After washing and storing chayote seeds, the seeds should be washed off with clean water, and the seeds should be spread out and dried, then put into a sparse cloth bag and stored in a ventilated and dry place. You can also put the seeds in a glass cup, first put fresh chaff ash in the glass cup about 3 5 cm thick, then put in the seeds, and then cover it with chaff ash. Then store in a cool and ventilated place.

8. After chayote planting, it is necessary to pay attention to strengthening management and maintenance, and chasing fertile leaf amino acids.

Water-soluble fertilizer.

1. Leave the old plant: chayote is a perennial root-bearing plant, and the second year can germinate new plants from the old melon, generally in the southern region, the old plant is used to protect it, safely overwinter, and not be frozen to death. The method is to pick all the chayote on the plant after the frost falls, regardless of size, cut off the above-ground part about 10 cm from the surface, cover the melon with straw, and then cover it with a layer of fire soil or coal ash, and the underground part can be safely wintered.

In the second year, after the temperature rises, the method of branch propagation is used for propagation and cultivation, or the old stem leaves 2-3 strong stems and vines to grow, and the rest are all picked and eaten. In the southern region, the life span of a chayote can reach 30 years, and the production is generally only 3-4 years.

2. Seed melon seeds: Leave the chayote in autumn under the shelf about 150 cm from the ground of the main vine knot of the long melon, when the chayote skin is yellow, the surface can be picked, and then put in a dry place for storage, or with sand storage for winter. In December, the chayote is wrapped in a plastic bag, placed in the 15-25 indoor or greenhouse to promote germination, when the melon grows more roots, it is taken out from the plastic bag and planted in the pot to raise seedlings, a pot of melon, and planted in the open field after the final frost.

After the chayote has taken root, it needs to be buried in the soil, and the moisture and soil in the soil can help the chayote to overwinter and sprout and grow in spring.

Generally, improper temperature, early planting time, soil waterlogging, and diseases will affect the growth of chayote seedlings, resulting in the phenomenon of no rooting and rotten roots.

Chayote belongs to the cucurbitaceae perennial vine, native to Mexico, Central America and other regions, mostly planted in the southern region of our country, chayote looks like a kind of hand in the shape of the chayote, so there is a chayote, the name of the chayote, which contains a certain auspicious meaning.

The taste of chayote is relatively fresh, the taste is crisp, it can be eaten raw and cooked, its tender stems and underground stems are also edible, and chayote is rich in nutrients and low fat, and it is a rare nutritious vegetable.

1. The time to plant chayote.

Chayote planting time needs to be determined according to the planting method, planting area, greenhouse planting chayote should pay attention to its planting time is relatively wide, can be from late November to mid-March this time for seedlings, if it is planted in the open field, generally in the temperature is relatively stable between 15-25, spring around the end of April to start planting.

2. Fertilizer and water management.

Fertilizer and water management this part mainly talks about the management of chayote, in the early stage of its growth water demand is less, the number of watering is not recommended too much, small water irrigation, to keep the soil moist can, after the chayote enters the fruiting period, the water demand increases, at this time to pay attention to prevent the soil from drought, keep the soil moist.

The number of chayote topdressing does not need to be too much, according to the seedling situation for topdressing, in the month can be topdressed, each plant can be topdressed compound fertilizer + foliar fertilizer, in addition to the seedling situation can be appropriately sprayed with Yanwo foliar fertilizer.

3. Harvest at the right time.

Chayote fruit time is more several, need to be harvested in time, to avoid too many fruits, affecting the later yield of the plant, vegetable melon can be carried out in batches, about 3 times, generally left to plant melon in about 25-30 days after fruit set picking.

The chayote seedlings I bought back are quite strong, but they don't grow after planting.

Hello, chayote is a relatively hardy plant, but it also needs the right temperature, light and water to grow properly. If you have a problem growing chayote that doesn't grow for a long time, it may be due to the following reasons:1

Unsuitable temperature: Chayote prefers a warm environment, and the suitable growing temperature is 20-30 kai. If the ambient temperature is too low or too high, it will affect the growth of chayote.

2.Lack of light: Chayote needs plenty of sunlight to grow properly, and if it is planted in a location that is not bright enough or the sun is insufficient, it will affect the growth of chayote.

3.Unsuitable soil: Chayote prefers fertile, soft, breathable, well-drained soil, if the soil is too dry or too wet, it will affect the growth of chayote.

4.Lack of water: Chayote needs the right amount of water to grow properly, and if it is insufficient, it will cause chayote to grow slowly.

Therefore, if you want to make the chayote grow properly, you can take the following measures:1Maintain a suitable temperature and avoid too low or too high a temperature.

2.Choose a bright planting location to ensure that chayote receives full sunlight. 3.

Choose fertile, soft, breathable, well-drained soils and maintain appropriate soil moisture. 4.Water in moderation and keep the soil moist, but don't overwater it.

Chayote is generally planted before and after Qingming, and if it germinates before that, it needs to be kept warm and stored. Since it is more sensitive to cold, 5-7 will cause it frostbite, so it is best to control the temperature between 8-10. The room can be placed in an antifreeze carton, the buds should be facing up, and the carton cannot be closed, so as not to affect its breathing.

Since chayote has already sprouted, the germination step is omitted and it can be sown directly. If you are planting in the ground, you should first turn the soil deep and sprinkle a little farm manure as a base fertilizer. If you want to plant in a pot, choose a large pot and mix sandy soil and garden soil to make potting soil.

Dig a pit on the surface of the soil, plant melons in the pit and bury them in the soil, and pour a little water.

When chayote sprouts sprouts, it is time to enter the seedling period. At this time, it is necessary to keep the temperature between 20-25, and at the same time give it plenty of light and ensure that it is well ventilated. Keep 2-3 young shoots on the melon vine, and remove all the rest.

When 4-5 leaves have grown, the apical buds need to be removed to promote the growth of the side buds.

When the chayote grows a little bigger, it needs to be wide to guide the vines and prune. It has a strong climbing ability and grows very fast. When the vine grows to 40 cm, it can be guided to a tree or wall with a bamboo pole or rope.

After that, it should be pruned properly, removing the side buds at the base and controlling the direction of its growth.

1. Thermal insulation and storage.

Chayote is generally grown around the Qingming Festival. If it germinates before then, it needs to be kept at a warm temperature. Because you are afraid of cold, you will get frostbite at 5-7, so the temperature should be controlled between 8-10.

It can be placed indoors in a freeze-proof cardboard box with the buds facing up. The carton cannot be closed so as not to affect its breathing.

2. Carry out sowing.

Since chayote has already sprouted, the germination step is omitted and it can be sown directly. If you are planting on the ground, first deepen the soil and sprinkle a little farm manure as a base fertilizer. If you want to plant in a pot, choose a large pot and mix sand and garden soil to make potting soil.

Dig a pit in the soil, plant melons in the pit, bury the soil, and water it a little.

3. Seedling maintenance.

When chayote sprouts, it is the seedling stage. At this time, it is necessary to keep the temperature between 20-25, and at the same time give it enough light to ensure good ventilation. Keep 2-3 buds on the melon vine and remove all the others.

After 4-5 leaves have grown, the top buds need to be removed to promote the growth of the side buds.

Fourth, vine pruning.

When chayote grows, it needs to be guided and trimmed with tendrils. It has a strong climbing ability and grows quickly. When the melon vine grows to 40cm, it can be led to the tree or wall with a bamboo pole or rope to grow. After that, it should be pruned properly, and the side buds at the base should be removed to control their growth direction.
