How to plant pumpkin and matters needing attention 1, soil preparation and fertilization

When planting pumpkins, the land can be cleared in the first winter to improve the soil quality. When preparing soil, sufficient base fertilizer can be applied to the soil, which can improve soil fertility. After planting in the second year, pumpkins can grow healthier and more vigorous.

2. Sowing and planting

To choose a suitable pumpkin seed variety, put the tip of the seed down and plant it in the soil at a certain distance. Generally, 2-3 seeds can be planted in each hole. After sowing, cover it with a thin layer of 2-3 cm soil, and then water it to keep the soil slightly wet. If the temperature is suitable, they can germinate within 1-2 weeks.

3. Maintenance management

Pumpkins need good maintenance and management after they are planted. After emergence, it is necessary to pull out the weak seedlings. In its growing period, it is necessary to apply thin fertilizer regularly to promote the vigorous growth of pumpkin. When the pumpkin has 8- 10 true leaves, it is beneficial to the germination of its lateral branches if the pumpkin is topped and pitted.

Note that pumpkins like to grow in a warm environment, and it is best to plant them after the temperature rises in spring, which is conducive to their rapid germination and growth. In the process of breeding, we should do a good job in the prevention and control of pests and diseases, and if diseases occur, we should spray them with drugs in time.
