How should the gourd be planted? Any good suggestions?

Gourd is lovely, attractive and delicious to cook. Not only that, but also it is very simple to grow gourd. Usually, you only need to select seeds, soak them in appropriate warm water, and then sow them in fertile and moist soil, and they will grow well. Here we will tell you in detail how to plant gourd from the aspects of seeds, soil and sowing.

1, seed selection and treatment There are many ways to obtain gourd seeds, which can be saved or purchased. Generally, as long as the seeds are not old and moth-eaten, the survival rate is relatively high. After selecting the seeds, we put them in potassium permanganate for soaking and disinfection to prevent them from suffering from diseases and insect pests.

After disinfection, the seeds are soaked in warm water at 45℃ for about 8 hours, and the gourd seeds are more likely to germinate after absorbing enough water. Seeds will be wrapped in gauze and maintained in a place with suitable temperature and good ventilation, and will germinate in a week or so.

2. Selection of soil Sowing soil should choose soil with thick soil layer, good air permeability and good water and fertilizer conservation effect. It is generally suggested that pastoral soil, humus soil and coarse sand should be mixed according to the ratio of 6:3: 1, and some farmyard manure can be applied as base fertilizer to increase soil fertility. If the soil is dry, water it first, and then add base fertilizer for sowing when the soil feels non-sticky.

3. When sowing, make sure the soil is moist. Put the root of the seed into the soil and cover it with a thin layer of soil to ensure that the temperature is about 65438 08℃. Pay attention to watering on the fourth day after sowing, reduce watering times appropriately after germination, and try to make the soil slightly moist. After one month, nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer were applied to ensure the normal growth of gourd.
