Method for efficient hybrid pollination of angular sponge gourd

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for efficient hybrid pollination of angular sponge gourd, and solves the problem of the existing pollination methods. The method comprises particular steps as follows:S1, selecting male flowers with yellow flower buds for collection; and S2, selecting female flowers with yellow flower buds, tearing off male flower petals until exposing male flower pistils, applying the male flower pistils gently and evenly on stigma of the female flowers, and then plugging the whole male flower pistils into the female flowers to tie female flower petals. According to the method, net shed facilities are not required, manual removal for the male flowers is not required, bees are not needed to introduce, production input is reduced, and costs are saved; a tie line is utilizedto tie the female flower petals tightly, materials are simple and prone to carrying, operation is fast, and work efficiency is improved; the hybrid pollination can be completed by operation of the method before the female flowers bloom in the afternoon of the same day, and flower clamping in advance is not needed; and flower clamping is realized by use of the tie line and simple to operate with one finger pressing, pollution of multiple flowers can be effectively blocked, time is saved, operation is convenient, and work efficiency is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of loofah pollination, in particular to a method for efficient hybrid pollination of ribbed loofahs. Background technique [0002] Loofah, also known as Shenggua, Caigua, Tianluo, Diaogua, is an annual climbing herb of Cucurbitaceae. Loofah originated in Asia and is distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Oceania, Africa and America. It was cultivated in India 2,000 years ago and introduced to China in the early 6th century. There are two main types of loofah, namely ordinary loofah and ribbed loofah. The fruit of loofah with ribs is rod-shaped, 25-60 cm long, 5-7 cm in transverse diameter, green and wrinkled on the skin, with 10 ribs, green or dark green. Seeds are oval, with ribbed luffa seed coat thick and wrinkled, black. The ribbed loofah is mainly cultivated in South China. Loofah is served with tender melon, which can be stir-fried or served in cold salad, and it tastes more delicious when ...

Problems solved by technology

The existing methods are as follows: one is to use bagging for pollination, although this method can improve the accuracy of pollination, but bagging takes a long time, the operation is inconvenient, the labor cost is high, and the overall work efficiency is low

The second is to use clips to clamp flowers for pollination. The cost of using clips is high. Using clips will easily cause the petals of female flowers to fall off, and there is a risk of high pollen contamination rate. In addition, the recovery of clips also increases labor costs.

The third is to build a net shed to pollinate the emasculated flower bees. The scale effect of this method is indeed beneficial, but the disadvantages are that the net shed has a complex structure, consumes materials, and the cost is high, and the maintenance cost of the net shed is high, and the light transmittance is low, which affects the growth of crops, and Manual detasseling is required, and the introduction of bee populations will increase the cost
