To cultivate loofah efficiently, how to operate?

Luffa is one of the common cash crops in agricultural planting, its taste is fresh, the taste is delicious, moderate, is a delicacy on the table of the people, deeply loved by people; Therefore, in all parts of the countryside, in addition to the common growth of loofah on the fence of the farmhouse vegetable garden, the loofah planting or live broadcast is late, a large row spacing is required, and a frame should be erected, in order to make reasonable use of land and improve the multiple cropping index, more intercropping and intercropping with other vegetables are implemented. When selecting crops before planting, set aside rows for loofahs in advance. The main root of the loofah is deep, and the loofah is cultivated in two ways during the growth period: seedling raising or direct seeding, and it is planted after frost breaking, and sufficient base fertilizer needs to be applied when planting, and a scaffolding is erected.

The distance between the planted plants is about 1 meter. After the loofah is planted, it is necessary to cultivate and weed in the early stage, and apply seedling fertilizer 2 to 3 times to promote the growth of melon vines. When the melon vine grows to a villager, the village vegetable has just returned to the countryside to live, and the loofah planted is dug back and planted on the side of the road, and the vegetable field has not yet been prepared, so it is planted next to the wall, and there are trees and houses next to it, and the lighting of the loofah vine is not good enough, especially the vine is long.

<> loofah is a very fast-growing vine climbing plant in the genus of Cucurbitaceae, the loofah has a developed root system, the stem is vine-growing, the branching force is strong, the growth is vigorous, and the stem node can also produce adventitious roots, strong regeneration ability. Monoecious, female flowers are solitary, and the cultivation density of male flowers varies according to different seasons and different cultivation methods. My uncle is generally planted in the mountains, the land is relatively poor, mostly planted at a slightly larger density, normal for double row planting, spring planting, plant spacing is 20 25 cm, autumn planting plant spacing is 35 40 centimeters loofah, although the ability to adapt to the land is strong, but it is best not to choose wet land, try to choose some soil thickness without sand and gravel in this environment is conducive to the growth of loofah, in fact, loofah is a kind of gourd plant, is quoted from other places to China, the loofah is also known as the loofah, the day Luo, Tianluo, Tianluo, mancuna, gourd, Yu thorn, washing pot Luo gourd, etc., loofah is divided into two varieties according to the fruit: ordinary loofah and angular loofah.

Among the ordinary loofahs, there are varieties such as long loofahs and mallet loofahs, the elders can reach 4 5 feet, and the short ones are up to 1 2 feet.

The main vine of the loofah is the main vine, and the rest of the side vines should be removed at any time to ensure ventilation and light in the shed. To help loofah pollination, with the help of nature for a long time, bees and other insects are the main ones, in fact, artificial pollination is better.

It is necessary to choose varieties with high yield, good resistance to pests, good resistance to harsh environments, heat resistance, low temperature resistance, and good disease resistance.

After planting, it is mainly kept warm, and it is not ventilated as much as possible within 1 week. In case of low temperature below 5, cover a small arch shed in time. After April, the temperature in the shed is maintained at 25 28 during the day and 15 18 at night.

After May, ventilation, cooling and humidity reduction are the mainstay, when the minimum temperature at night is more than 15, the greenhouse apron film can be removed, the top film can be retained to prevent rain, and ventilation is carried out day and night.

The loofah vine is about 1 meter long, and the vine fertilizer should be applied before the frame is erected. It is best to use rotten human manure and urine, if you only plant three or two, there will be a lot of wood, and chemical fertilizer will be used. We use 10 20 catties of compound fertilizer for one acre of land here, or flush with water or ditch application.

The physiological characteristics of the loofah are very fertilizer-loving, sunny, and the climate with obvious temperature difference between day and night, and should be applied to the planting plot with an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer and the soil is evenly turned over and then dried for 1 2 days to sow seeds, increase soil permeability and play a role in sterilization and disinfection, and the appropriate temperature for seed germination is about 28, and the germination will be relatively rapid when it is 30-35, and the growth is slow when it is below 18, so if the loofah is to be planted in the open field, it is best to choose when the temperature is stable. Try to avoid planting when there is a large temperature difference or when the temperature is low.

The loofah belongs to the climbing type of vegetables, and the growth process should build a melon shed to meet the habit of climbing the loofah, and the melon shed should master the height, generally more than two meters, with strong ventilation and good illumination, and also pay attention to removing the side vines in time to promote the main vine to form melons. In addition, it is also necessary to ensure reasonable watering, generally need to ensure that it is watered every day, unless it rains, because the demand for water for loofah is particularly high, and it is enough to water every day to ensure that the soil is moist, which we need to do in place.

There is no obvious definition of the planting time of loofah, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the field planting generally chooses summer and autumn open field planting, which can be sown in the way of soaking and direct seeding. The loofah has the habit of liking fertilizer, in order to make the loofah planting to achieve high yield and high harvest, you must choose those plots to the sun, but this kind of loofah also has a disadvantage, that is, there are too many seeds, generally the author only eats the loofah skin, used to soak the sauerkraut to eat. No matter what kind of loofah, if you want to get a high yield, the first and most important thing is to set up a good shelf.

The area of a loofah vine can reach about 10 square meters.

After planting, you can build a trellis for the loofah to facilitate the growth of the loofah vines, you can use a wooden stake with a diameter of about 15 cm, the height of the stake is about 250 cm, insert the 40 cm part of the bottom of the stake into the soil, and place a bamboo pole around the stake to keep the stake upright. Bamboo strips can be placed on top of the trellis in a net, which can promote the elongation of the loofah vines. Water and fertilizer management should keep the soil moist during the growth period of the loofah, so that the loofah can receive rainwater and pay attention to drainage when there is more rain.

After planting the loofah, apply river mud to it, apply rotten manure once before it goes to the shed, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer about once every 8 days after it goes to the shed.

When planting loofahs, first of all, we must pinch the tip, and then we must pay attention to fertilizer and water management, and we must build a frame in time to lead the vines, choose some high-quality varieties, and leave 1 2 melons on the strong side vines and then pluck the top.

First of all, when planting, we must choose the soil is more fertile and wide land, and use farmhouse fertilizer, do not use fertilizer bought outside, water the plants more, but also to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases, if there is a situation of small insects, then we must spray insecticides in time.

1. Variety selection.

It is advisable to choose the medium and early maturing varieties Luwang and Meiling varieties with strong growth, strong resistance, thick leaves, long rod shape, uniform head and tail, dark green skin color, less fiber, good fruit shape and good texture, excellent quality and good flavor. The melon field should choose sandy loam soil with convenient drainage and irrigation, good ventilation and air permeability.

2. Sow seeds at the right time.

The cultivation of loofah is mainly sown in spring and summer. Due to the low temperature in the early stage of early spring sowing, the seedling transplantation method should be used for sowing in late February or early March, and the sowing method for soaking and germination and direct seeding can be used for sowing after mid-March. The furrow is a meter wide, planted in a single row, and the plant spacing is 22-25 cm.

3. Field management.

1) After the melon seedlings are planted and survived, reasonable topdressing should be carried out according to different stool withering periods. In the early stage, human feces and urine can be administered once a week. After the melon is set, the amount of fertilizer is large, and it is necessary to combine soil fertilization for 1 time, and apply 600-800 kg of high-quality soil miscellaneous fertilizer or pig and cow manure per mu.

After harvesting 1-2 times, top dressing should be done appropriately according to the growth status of the plant to ensure that there are sufficient nutrients for the growth and development of the plant. The loofah is a moisture-loving plant, with large leaf and vine growth and large water demand, especially in the peak fruit season, it is in the high temperature season, and the plant water transpiration is large, so it is necessary to keep the ground moist frequently.

2) The loofah has strong branching ability, and the main and side vines can bear melons, but in order to obtain a high yield, except for the side vines below 50 cm at the base, the upper side vines are generally not removed. When the melon vine is about 40-50 cm long, it is necessary to build a shed to guide the vines to the shelf, and gradually adjust the plants so that the melon vines are evenly distributed on the trellis.

4. Pest control.

1) Downy mildew can be controlled with 25 Redomir or 53 Gold Redomir 600-800 times, or 64 alum 500 times, or 75 Dakonine 600 times, sprayed once every 7-10 days.

2) Horn spot disease can be sprayed with 80 times of ammonium dysen 800 times or 58 times of 600-800 times of mongolizin, and downy mildew can be treated. Viral diseases can be prevented and treated with 20 virus a500 times spray.

3) Melon fruit flies can be sprayed with 90 trichlorfon 1000 times, or 80 dichlorvos 800 times, or 58 hounds 1000-1500 times.

4) Black Shou melon can be killed with 800-1000 times of fish Teng Cyanide, or 25 Pepsi 1500 times, or 800 times of Kulong.

The loofah likes to grow in a relatively high temperature environment, and it is best to ventilate in time, so that the fruit ripens quickly, and the planting time can generally be from April to July of the year, and it can be harvested in about two months. When flowering, some special means are needed, and the male flowers growing on the loofah vine should be removed to a certain extent, so as to reduce the consumption of nutrients, and all nutrients can be supplied to the female flowers and the fruits behind the female flowers. This operation can be a great help in increasing revenue.

The loofah is mainly grown in summer, so it likes to grow in a high temperature environment, and the most suitable temperature for its growth is around 22. The suitable temperature for fruit growth should be controlled at about 25. If the temperature is lower than 16, the growth rate will drop significantly, and if it is lower than 10, the growth will stop, which is easy to cause frost damage.

When the loofah has not yet germinated, the straw can be properly mulched, the light can be controlled, and the stem and leaf growth and flower bud differentiation of the loofah plant can be promoted. Then, during the melon setting period, the straw should be properly uncovered, and the light time and temperature should be increased to promote flowering and melon setting. Loofahs have different water requirements in different growth periods, such as the seedling stage, and the water demand is relatively small.

The vines of the loofah are very long, and the erection work should be done when planting, and the growth of the vines should be observed, and the growth to about 24 cm should be erected in time to avoid the pole taking up too much space, and the sun should be properly shaded. Scaffolding is generally dominated by a single row of vertical frames, and then the vertical vines are pulled according to the planting density.

Common pests and diseases of loofah include anthracnose, virus diseases, aphids, etc. In the process of prevention and control, it is necessary to carry out it in a planned way, strengthen field management, control the application of water and fertilizer, and prevent pests and diseases caused by fertilizer water and waterlogging. The loofah prefers a humid environment and is not drought tolerant because of its large growth of stems and vines, the abundance of fruits, and the high water requirement.

After the seedlings are planted, they should be watered enough. If there is plastic film to protect the soil moisture, it does not need to be watered frequently, generally one or two watering is enough, otherwise it is not conducive to the growth of plant roots. During the whole growth period, it is necessary to combine pruning and harvesting, constantly thinning the male flowers, and removing old, weak and overly dense leaves.

During the flowering and fruiting period of loofah, if small melons are found on the leaves and hedges, they should be sorted out in time to hang vertically on the scaffolding, and at the same time, the diseased melons should be removed in time to avoid infection.

To plant loofah, choose plots with fertile soil, deep soil layer, good aeration, and convenient drainage and irrigation; Before sowing, add organic fertilizer and a small amount of chemical fertilizer to the soil as base fertilizer, and turn the soil deep to a depth of about 30 cm.

First of all, it is necessary to choose a relatively fertile soil, and it is necessary to water more appropriately, and it is necessary to fertilize it regularly, and it is necessary to kill insects in time.

Be sure to choose fertile soil when planting, and then water it more and fertilize it more during planting, so that you can grow high-quality loofahs.

The loofah is a vine plant, which is relatively adaptable and easy to grow, and many farmers also prefer to grow loofah. So if you want to grow a high-yield loofah, how should you grow it? What should I pay attention to when planting?

Let's take a look at the questions related to growing loofahs.

The loofah does not have high temperature requirements, and the general temperature is more suitable for planting. The growth cycle of loofah is also relatively short, and a good harvest can be achieved in two or three months. Luffa can be used to plant all year round, in each season it is best to choose a good month, more conducive to the growth of loofah, such as spring we can choose February and March to plant loofah, because in February and March, the climate warms up more suitable temperature.

In the summer, you can choose to grow loofahs in early summer. In autumn, loofahs are generally planted in September. We all know that the weather is relatively cold in winter, if you choose to plant loofah in winter, you will generally choose to plant loofah in the greenhouse, otherwise the loofah is easy to suffer from frostbite and affect the growth.

In addition to paying attention to the planting time, planting loofahs also pays attention to fertilization management. The growth cycle of the loofah is relatively short and grows fast, so the watering and fertilization must be in place to ensure the growth rate of the loofah. When planting loofahs, you must pay attention to the supply of water, and the loofahs planted with sufficient water will be sweet and delicious, otherwise they will be bitter and less watery.

Before planting, you should apply plantar fertilizer, and then add urea later, and you don't need too much fertilizer.

Secondly, we should pay attention to do a good job of thinning flowers and fruits, if the loofah blooms too much, it is necessary to properly remove some flowers, too much will lead to insufficient nutrients absorbed, affecting the growth of the later stage. After the loofah bears fruit, according to the growth of the loofah, some fruits should be appropriately removed, otherwise it is easy to affect the fruit quality of the loofah due to insufficient nutrient supply.

It is not difficult to plant loofah, as long as you pay attention to the planting time and do a good job in planting management, it is still easy to get a high harvest.
