High-yield cultivation techniques of Tanbi wax gourd
Tanbi wax gourd is nearly spherical in shape,with an average weight of about 3 kg per individual,resembling a three lobed structure;its fresh is dense,sweet and crisp,less thick flesh and storage resistance,has high edible and medicinal value.The high-yield cultivation techniques of this crop were summarized and analyzed based on its production practice.In terms of sowing and seedling cultivation,measures such as soaking seeds to promote germination,preparing nutrient soil,strengthening water management,and diseases and pests control were taken to cultivate short and strong seedlings.Before transplanting and planting,it was necessary to adjust the soil pH of the planting site and apply mature farmyard manure;strong seedlings should be transplanted before the leaves of two seedlings were full and the true leaves were not fully developed.In terms of water and fertilizer management,sufficient base fertilizer should be applied,and fruit setting fertilizer should be applied in a timely manner.The melon field should be kept moist during the seedling stage,irrigated during the growth stage,and the field water should be controlled from flowering to fruit setting stage.Field management included setting up trellises to guide and tie vines,assisting with pollination,and retaining melons.In terms of disease and pest control,comprehensive measures such as agricultural control,physical control,and chemical control were adopted to timely prevent and control diseases and pests such as aphids,whitefly,powdery mildew,anthracnose,and others.In terms of harvesting,storage,and transportation,the fruit was usually harvested after 30 days of maturity on a clear,dew-free morning;during storage and transportation,the site and tools should be kept clean and free of pollution.This article provides a reference for the high-yield cultivation of this plant and further promoting the development of related industries.
