A kind of vegetable that bitter gourd is popular with people. According to the combination of nutritional value and edible value, it has a very good planting prospect. It is also the category that most growers grow. The following small series tells you about the efficacy and planting of bitter gourd. Time and cultivation methods. I hope to help the growers. Planting time of bitter gourd: Northern bitter gourd is planted in greenhouses or greenhouses from late March to early April, and planted in early May; the Yangtze River basin is planted in mid-March and planted in mid-April; In the south of China, spring cultivation is carried out from January to March, summer cultivation is carried out from April to May, and autumn is carried out from July to August. The bitter gourd planting time is generally March. Some first grow in greenhouses or greenhouses, and then transplant, can be planted in advance in February. Method of planting bitter gourd The root regenerative ability of bitter gourd is weak, and it is necessary to bring more soil when transplanting. Planting in spring is sparse, planting density is higher in summer and autumn, and planting density in large top type is greater than that in long body type. In Guangdong and Hainan, many places are used for planting or flat shed cultivation. At present, long-leaf bitter melons are mainly cultivated by herringbone or flat shed. 1. Herringbone planting The plant spacing is 60-80 cm, the row spacing is 1.6-2 m, and 500-700 plants per acre can be planted. The main advantage is that the frame is more labor-saving. The disadvantage is that the operation in the field is difficult, and it takes a lot of work to lead the vines. The fruit often suffers from poor color due to insufficient light. 2, flat shed planting The plant spacing is 80-100 cm, the row spacing is 1.8-2.2 m, and 300-600 plants per acre can be planted. The main advantages: the fruit is good in commodity, the field is easy to operate, saves time and labor, and the harvesting period is longer. The disadvantage is that the scaffolding takes a lot of time and the material cost in some areas is high. 3. Cultivation management 1 Watering: The bitter gourd grows and needs a lot of water during the result. When planting, it should be watered, and the cultivated fields should be kept moist as much as possible, especially in the case of high temperature and sunny days. Because the bitter gourd is generally resistant to cockroaches, the cultivated fields should have good irrigation and drainage facilities, and the rainy days need to be drained in time to keep the fields from being soaked. If it is planted in the early spring when the temperature is relatively low (average temperature is below 18 °C), water control is needed in the early stage to enhance the cold resistance of the plant. 2 top dressing: bitter gourd growth and results require a large amount of fertilizer, usually every 5 to 10 days to fertilize once. The first top dressing is carried out about 5 days after the planting, and 10% of the decomposed human excrement, pig manure and other farmyard manure 1000 kg or 3 kg of urea + 2 kg of compound fertilizer (0.2% concentration) is applied per mu. Miao fertilization, fertilize once every 5 to 7 days, the concentration is from thin to thick, the farmyard manure is 10% to 30%, the chemical fertilizer is 0.2% to 0.5%, and each time adding 3 kg of compound fertilizer, to the time of introduction Topdressing 3 to 4 times. At the beginning of the insertion of bamboo vines, it is necessary to apply a heavy fertilizer, applying 15-20 kg of compound fertilizer per mu, 10 kg of potassium chloride + 5 kg of urea, using ditch or acupoint application, combined with soil, can also be used in considerable amount. Farmyard manure is applied with potassium chloride and phosphate fertilizers. After the female flowers are opened, 15 kg of compound fertilizer, 5 kg of potassium chloride and 3 kg of urea are applied per mu. After the results, each harvest period (7 to 10 days) must be topdressed, generally 10 kg of compound fertilizer per acre, 5 kg of potassium chloride, 3 kg of urea, in order to facilitate the extension of harvest period. In the results and harvesting period, attention should be paid to the N:P:K fertilization ratio of 1:0.5:1.2. 3 Insert bamboo and vines and pruning: The plant of bitter gourd grows vigorously. It is necessary to frame the vines in time. Generally, the double rows can be inserted into the herringbone frame or the scaffolding. When the seedlings are 40 to 50 cm long, the vines need to be put on shelves, every 5 In the 6th quarter, it is necessary to tie a vine. There are many branches of bitter gourd. In order to concentrate the nutrients on the stems and several main side vines, the side vines are removed before the initial flowering period, and the remaining side vines are removed. The main vine and the side vine will continue to branch during the growth period, so it is necessary to remove the weak branches and leave the strong branches, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the side vines are excessively consumed, the plants are closed and the air is not permeable, and the main vines and the main side vines are played. The role in the results. After harvesting for a period of time (usually after 1 month), there will be a situation in which the scaffolding is sealed and the result is greatly reduced. At this time, the weak branches and the old leaves are removed in large quantities, so that a large number of new vines are extracted to maintain a strong result. This is also an important measure to capture high yields. 4, harvest Bitter gourd enters the harvesting period 12 to 16 days after flowering. The standard of harvesting is that the shoulder tumor is thick and full, the tumor groove becomes shallow, the color changes from dark green to bright green, and the peel is shiny. The quality of bitter gourd harvested at the right time is the best. It is harvested too early, the flesh is not full, the harvest is too late, and the melon is ripe. Introduction of the efficacy of bitter gourd Bitter gourd has a bitter taste, into the heart, lungs and stomach. It has the functions of clearing away heat and quenching thirst, lowering blood pressure, blood fat, beauty and beauty, and promoting metabolism. Bitter gourd is rich in vitamin B1. Vitamin C and minerals, long-term consumption, can maintain strong energy, and has great benefits for the treatment of acne. Bitter gourd is a very popular kind of melon, its medicinal value is high, and long-term consumption is beneficial to the human body. It is worthy of planting alfalfa. The above is about the cultivation methods and effects of bitter gourd. You can refer to the growers. Zhuhai Mingke Electronics Technology Co., Ltd , https://www.zhmkdz-electronics.com
