A method of improving the fruiting rate and commodity rate of mini pumpkins

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving a mini-pumpkin fruiting rate and a commodity rate. The method mainly comprises a first step of adopting zenggualing (triacontanol + ethephon) for processing when a plant has 2-4 true leaves and promoting female flower development; a second step of adjusting plant branching, forming dual vines, and forming a balanced nutrient distribution basis; a third step of smearing 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic acid) on the ovary at a flowering period, and guaranteeing percentage of setting fruit; a fourth step of performing foliar fertilizer and temperature and humidity regulation, and improving yield and commodity rate; a fifth step of performing accurate time harvesting in 28 d after flowering, and guaranteeing quality. Growth regulating substances are applied at key nodes for mini-pumpkin growth, cultivation measures after improvement are matched, a standard cultivation technology is formed, and the yield and commodity rate of mini-pumpkins can be remarkably improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of plant cultivation, and relates to a method for improving the yield and commodity rate of mini pumpkins. [0002] technical background [0003] Mini pumpkins refer to Chinese pumpkins, American pumpkins or Indian pumpkins with a single fruit weight between 200 and 300 grams. Common commercial melons come in three colors: dark green, representing the variety 'Beibei'; white, representing the variety 'Baiqiaomei'; and red stripes on a yellow background, representing the variety 'Jugua'. They are bright in appearance, small and exquisite, glutinous and sweet in quality, and are very popular in the market. However, under normal cultivation conditions, one plant can only bear 3 to 4 melons, and the sizes of the melons are different, which seriously affects the yield and commerciality, and makes it difficult to promote the production of mini pumpkins. Different from the dry matter content of cucumbers harvested...

Problems solved by technology

However, under normal cultivation conditions, one plant can only bear 3 to 4 melons, and the sizes of the melons vary, which seriously affects the yield and commerciality, and makes it difficult to promote the production of mini pumpkins.

Different from the dry matter content of cucumbers harvested from tender melons, which are only about 3%, pumpkins are harvested from mature melons, with a dry matter content as high as about 17%, which determines that under conventional cultivation conditions, the number of fruits cannot be too many and the yield is low. , and the size of the melons on different nodes on the same plant is quite different, the consistency is poor, and the commerciality is not good, resulting in a comparative benefit that is far lower than other melon vegetables with high water content such as cucumbers, watermelons, loofahs, and bitter melons. Farmers Enthusiasm takes a huge hit
