3. Description of the seeding process

 

播种/育苗
瓠瓜需要进行催芽处理,水温25℃~30℃浸泡 24 小时,捞出种子洗净,用湿除用纸包好,装入不封口的塑料袋里,置于温暖处(25~28℃)催芽,3~6天发芽后转移到育苗盆里。放在温暖阳光充足的地方。等3~4片子叶生成后,移栽到地里。
种植管理
瓠瓜长藤时引蔓上架,侧蔓结果,所以主蔓长到一米长后掐尖促进侧蔓生长。确保水肥充足,适当剪去弱病枝;光照充足,通风良好有利于开花结果。瓠瓜傍晚开花,手动授粉可提高坐果率。
收获
瓠瓜需趁嫩摘,质量最好,可促进新果实生长。

 

Sowing/seed starting
