Problems solved by technology

For zucchini plants in the mid-growth stage, the number of functional leaves increases, resulting in limited light intensity and light time for the functional leaves in the middle and lower parts of the plant, which affects the intensity of photosynthesis, and can easily lead to insufficient power in the fruit expansion stage, which eventually leads to leaf growth. Premature senility, small fruit, and its yield and quality are adversely affected. The above-mentioned conventional pruning methods can no longer meet its needs

Embodiment 1

[0017] A method for pruning summer squash in a greenhouse, comprising the following steps:

[0018] (1) When the zucchini grows to 15 leaves, the petiole of the upper functional leaf of the plant is bent but not broken at the middle part, so that the original long leaf is rotated clockwise by about 80-100 degrees, and becomes drooping;

[0019] (2) Every 2 melons will be pruned according to this method, and the pruning will be done 5 times throughout the growth period.

[0020] The above treatments were used as the experimental treatment group, and the single branch pruning method was used as the control; the treatment period and treatment times of the control group and the experimental treatment group were the same.

[0021] results and analysis

[0022] Table 1 Effects of different treatments on plant height, resistance and chlorophyll content in leaves of zucchini

[0023]

[0024] As can be seen from Table 1, the effects of different treatments on the plant height of ...

Embodiment 2

[0029] A kind of pruning method of outdoor cultivation zucchini comprises the following steps:

[0030] (1) When the zucchini grows to 16 leaves, the petiole of the upper functional leaf of the plant is bent but not broken at the middle part, so that the original long leaf is rotated clockwise by about 60-90 degrees and becomes drooping;

[0031] (2) Each melon will be pruned according to this method, and it will be pruned 8 times throughout the growth period.

[0032] After experimenting with the same blank control as in Example 1, compared with the blank control, it was found that the plant height increased by 9.5%. The soluble protein content in the fruit increased by 12.9%, the chlorophyll content in the leaves increased by 25.1%, the single fruit weight increased by 12.8%, and the yield increased by 18.2%.

Embodiment 3

[0034] A method for pruning summer squash in a greenhouse, comprising the following steps:

[0035] (1) When the zucchini grows to 18 leaves, bend the petiole of the upper functional blade of the plant in the middle part but not break it, so that the original upper blade rotates about 60-80 degrees clockwise and becomes drooping;

[0036] (2) Every 2 melons will be pruned according to this method, and the pruning will be done 6 times throughout the growth period.

[0037] After experimenting with the same blank control as in Example 1, compared with the blank control, it was found that the plant height increased by 10.1%. The soluble protein content in the fruit increased by 13.5%, the chlorophyll content in the leaves increased by 20.15%, the single fruit weight increased by 15.6%, and the yield increased by 15.8%.

[0038] In summary, the pruning method provided by this method can not only reduce the unnecessary consumption of nutrients, make the nutrients of the plants be ...

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of agricultural product planting, in particular to a pruning method for summer squash. According to the method, petioles of functional leaves at the upper portions of plants in a specific growth period are processed, the illumination condition of lower and middle leaves is improved while the photosynthetic intensity is ensured, and the photosynthesis is enhanced, so that accumulation of nutrient substances inside plants is accelerated, fruit expansion is facilitated, and therefore the quality of summer squash is improved and the yield of summer squash is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of planting agricultural products, and specifically provides a zucchini pruning method. technical background [0002] Zucchini is a light-loving semi-vine vegetable that is sensitive to light. Insufficient light can lead to thin leaves, yellow color, and soft stems, which seriously affect their photosynthesis. During the planting process, the light conditions of the plants can be improved by pruning and other methods. [0003] At present, the main common pruning method is single-branch pruning, that is, keeping the main vine and removing the side vines. At the same time, the old leaves at the bottom of the plant are removed in time to enhance light transmission and air permeability. For zucchini plants in the mid-growth stage, the number of functional leaves increases, resulting in limited light intensity and light time for the functional leaves in the middle and lower parts of the plant, which affects the intensity...
