Pollination method for increasing ripening rate of towel gourds

Abstract

The invention discloses a pollination method for increasing the ripening rate of towel gourds. The pollination method comprises the following steps of 1) preparing a pollination tool, namely (1) preparing a grafting aluminum sheet with the length X width X thickness of 35X8X0.1 mm, and (2) preparing a pure aluminum sheet with the length X width X thickness of 500*200*0.2 mm, and cutting the pure aluminum sheet into a plurality of small pure aluminum sheets with the length X width X thickness of 70*20*0.2 mm; 2) clamping flowers, namely selecting female flowers and male flowers which are about to bloom on the second day, grow strongly and are yellow or faint yellow in the afternoon of the first day, and respectively clamping the female flowers and the male flowers with the grafting aluminum sheet; 3) performing pollination, namely picking off the male flowers clamped in the first day at 6-8 o'clock in the second day, removing the grafting aluminum sheet clamping the male flowers, then removing the grafting aluminum sheet on the female flowers, and carrying out pollination work; and 4), clamping the flowers, namely, after pollination, using the small pure aluminum sheet for clamping the positions, close to the tops, of the female flowers at the position 1-1.5 cm away from an ovary. The method is simple, easy to implement and low in cost, the quality of the towel gourds can be guaranteed, the pollination rate can be remarkably increased, and therefore the ripening rate is remarkably increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agriculture, in particular to a method for pollination of loofahs. Background technique [0002] Loofah, also known as vegetable melon, belongs to Cucurbitaceae loofah, is one of the vegetables that people love, and has a good health care effect. Loofah is widely planted in Jiangsu, especially in Taizhou, where fragrant loofah is cultivated on a large scale. There is a lot of rain in Jiangsu area, especially in early spring and summer when loofahs are planted, they are easily affected by low temperature, high humidity, and rainy days, which hinder the activities of insects and poor pollination of loofahs, which can easily lead to low fruit setting rate, slow fruit growth and many deformed melons, etc. phenomenon, thereby affecting early yield and economic benefits. Although protected cultivation can reduce the impact of rain on pollen, the relatively closed production environment reduces the activities ...

Problems solved by technology

There is a lot of rain in Jiangsu area, especially in early spring and summer when loofahs are planted, they are easily affected by low temperature, high humidity, and rainy days, which hinder the activities of insects and poor pollination of loofahs, which can easily lead to low fruit setting rate, slow fruit growth and many deformed melons, etc. phenomenon, thus affecting the early yield and economic benefits

Although protected cultivation can reduce the impact of rain on pollen, the relatively closed production environment reduces the activities of pollinators such as insects, and will also affect normal loofah pollination

Now, people use growth regulators, artificial pollination, bees and other methods to increase the seed setting rate of loofah, but there are the following defects: although the use of growth regulators can improve the seed setting rate, the quality of loofah will decline slightly; It is not easy to survive for a long time, and the seed setting rate is low; it is more troublesome to use artificial pollination in bagging, and the bags with poor quality cannot be recycled, and the cost of pollination is high
