1. It is not too early to stay melons
At present, the price of loofah is high, and vegetable farmers should not only look at the current price when keeping melons, but also consider the growth of loofahs, and leave enough leaves to ensure adequate nutritional supply. Generally speaking, vegetable farmers plant loofahs in a large crop in winter, and most of them leave melons when the plants grow to 24-26 leaves, so as to ensure that the root system is well developed and the stems and vines are strong, laying a good foundation for the high-quality and high-yield loofahs in the future. In spring, the number of leaves should be left at least 20-22 leaves to ensure the growth of roots and stems, and to cultivate strong trees.
2. It is necessary to beat the gourd in time and keep the melon reasonably
In the process of loofah growth, some side vines and melon strips will grow, and they should be thinned out in time when no melon is left. When the loofah grows to 22 leaves, it begins to pick the top. However, it should be noted that when leaving melons for the first time, it is easy to produce the phenomenon of jumping melons, so it is recommended that vegetable farmers should not leave only one melon when leaving melons, but two melons, and then remove the growth point of the upper part of the loofah. When dipping the flowers, it is best to dip both melons, and after making sure that the melon strips are sitting, pick one melon with relatively weak growth. If the growth of the two melons is the same, the melons should be kept according to the principle of keeping but not staying. After dipping the melon, it can be picked after about 10 days, and after the upper growth point grows, every 5-6 leaves are left to ensure that there is sufficient leaf area for photosynthesis and promote the development of melon strips. As the temperature rises, the growth rate of melon strips accelerates, and the growth period will gradually shorten, and after May, you can start every 4-5 leaves, and you can pick melons in about 8 days.
3. After picking melons, it is necessary to ensure the height of the vines
The loofah has to fall after picking the melon, and many vegetable farmers will drop the vine low, some less than 1.1 meters. In order to ensure that the loofah has enough leaves for photosynthesis, it is recommended that the height of the vegetable farmer should not be too low, and the height of the vine should be 1.4-1.5 meters, so as to ensure that there are 13-15 leaves for photosynthesis, which is conducive to plant growth. In order to avoid insufficient leaf area, it will affect the growth of plants.
