Cultivation Techniques of Western Pumpkin

Western pumpkin, also known as Indian pumpkin, because of its high starch content, both face and sweet, meat powder quality, excellent flavor, is a pumpkin boutique. According to practice and research, it is confirmed that the pumpkin has many effects except stems and leaves. Regular consumption of pumpkin can enhance the release of insulin in the body, promote the normalization of insulin secretion in diabetic patients, and have a certain effect on lowering blood glucose. The zucchini is particularly rich in vitamins a, c, and e, and therefore has a good health care effect. In recent years, the development of zucchini products has received increasing attention. At present, the series of products that have been developed include: pumpkin puree, pumpkin powder, candied pumpkin, pumpkin jam, canned pumpkin, pumpkin noodles, pumpkin candies, etc., and are deeply loved by consumers. In order to meet the market demand, we started the introduction and development of fine varieties from 1996. Now we introduce the main cultivation techniques as follows:

I. Variety selection

Focus on quality and focus on appearance. Requirements skin color is bright, melon shape neat and beautiful. Through extensive introduction and comparison tests, it is believed that the Dongsheng and Yipin varieties cultivated by Taiwan farmers' seedlings and plants are ideal.

Second, the characteristics of characteristics

Golden red skin, early growth, the result is easy, like the cold weather, the fruit is usually thick and spherical, the fruit is about 1.2-1.5kg, fleshy and bright orange, silty, sweet flavor. About 2-3 strains per plant result in a late harvest and the meat is sweeter and more resistant to storage. The growth period is divided into four periods: germination period, seedling stage, pumping period and flowering result. Temperature requirements are slightly higher throughout the reproductive period, but are lower in melons. When the average temperature exceeds 22-23°C, the starch accumulation capacity decreases, and if it rises again, the growth is significantly inhibited. In the long-day high temperature, the female flowers occur later, and the sitting position of the melons is higher.

Third, cultivation and management

1. Sowing period: The principle of open field cultivation is appropriate to cool and dry season. For early harvest, 21-30 days of seedlings can also be planted in advance, and timely planting should be carried out after the frost, and it can be harvested in mid-August.

2. Soil preparation and fertilization: Before planting (or planting), deep plowing should be done beforehand, and organic manure should be applied. Generally, decomposed manure (such as human excrement, cattle, chicken, manure, etc.) is applied to 2 m3 per mu and diammonium 30 kg. 2-3 days ahead of the film, punch.

3. Sowing seedlings: Seeds soaked for 2-3 hours, placed in the dark place germination, temperature control at 25-30 °C, about 2 days until the bud grows to 0.5cm when live exposed (or broadcast in the plug), seedling stage Spray some chlorophyll strong seedlings. When the seedlings in the nursery seedlings grow 2-3 true leaves 1 heart can be planted.

4. Colonization: open cultivation can be used climbing culture, can also be single-line cultivation. East and west to the film, Guai north-south direction. For the climbing cultivation, the plant spacing is 0.8m, the small row spacing is 75cm, and the large row spacing is 3m; if the single row spacing is 0.6m, the row spacing is 1.8m, and about 600 plants per acre. Live broadcast must be filmed, germinated, caved and prevented from ventilating under the membrane.

5. Pruning pressure vine: In addition to the main vine, in addition to leaving a strong side from the base vine. When the young squash is stable, it can be no longer pruned or lightly pruned. Melon vines are 60-70cm long and start crushed, and once every 40-50cm is divided once, adventitious roots occur to prevent premature aging. Can also be single vine pruning (leaving the main vine).

6. Top dressing and watering: In the case of base fertilizer application, only 2 top dressings are required: 1st time to raise seedlings, and 2nd time to expand to gourd fertilizer.

7. Fruit setting adjustment: In order to increase the fruit setting rate, artificial pollination is required when there is no pollinator, and artificial pollination is required if cloudy is encountered. The pollination time starts in the morning after the dew is dry, and the end of 11 o'clock is appropriate. In order to increase the commercial quality, the main vines began to set fruit in the 8th to 10th, and leave the second fruit in 20 days after the pollination. During this period, the female flowers and young fruits must be removed in time. Double vine pruning, can start 1 fruit per vine, each plant to stay 2-3 fruit is appropriate. When the fruit is developed, the fruits should be straightened, the light should be taken care of, and the fruit surface should be colored evenly to improve the appearance.

IV. Pest Control

The major diseases of the squash are virus disease and powdery mildew. It is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of locusts, and mainly control biological pesticides such as virus 2000 and agricultural resistance 120, and supplement them with high-efficiency, low-toxicity and low-residue pesticides for prevention and control to meet the standards of green vegetables.

V. Harvesting

After the pumpkin matures, it must be harvested in time to prevent fruit set in the future from being affected. Identification of mature or not can be based on color and marking times when pollination, when the surface of the handle is soft, the color can be harvested when the soil becomes yellow, or harvested 35-40 days after pollination.
