1、 Curing method

1. Soil: Gualou has low requirements for soil. As long as it meets the two conditions of fertile soil and good drainage. Before planting, the soil needs to be mixed with base fertilizer, because the newly planted plants still have a large demand for nutrients, and the nutrients in the soil alone are insufficient

2. Watering: plants planted in the open field generally do not need watering as long as the climate is normal. However, if the drought lasts for more than a month, it is necessary to water the plants, otherwise the growth of the plants will be affected. The watering frequency is once a week

3. Fertilization: in addition to the fertilizer applied before planting, it needs topdressing during the growth period. Fertilizer species can use fertilizer species with moderate fertilizer efficiency or compound fertilizer species, because the nutrients of compound fertilizer species are relatively comprehensive and can meet the needs of plants in many aspects. After fertilization, it needs to be watered in order to fully dissolve the fertilizer into the soil and facilitate plant absorption

4. Light: the growth of plants cannot be separated from sunlight. Insufficient light will affect the yield of plants. If there are conditions, you can accept the whole day sunshine. If there are no conditions, the minimum sunshine time per day can reach five hours

2、 Breeding skills

1. Propagation: Trichosanthes can be propagated by sowing. Generally, the mature fruits in September will be stored well. In March and April of the next year, the seeds will be soaked in warm water for one day and one night, and then wet sand will be used to promote germination. The sowing method is hole planting, with a distance of two meters from each hole. After sowing, cover the soil, and the seedlings will appear in half a month

2. Loosen the soil: about half a month after planting, you need to remove the mound for inspection. If the middle root has sprouted and the soil is wet, you can flatten the mound so that the seedlings can be unearthed

3、 Problem diagnosis

1. Insect pests: it is susceptible to infection by melon silk borer. The larvae will eat the mesophyll of the plant and spread diseases. The treatment of Melia borer can be treated with spray solution. p>

2. Disease: it is easy to be infected with anthrax. The onset time of anthrax is generally in the seedling stage, which will harm the seedlings of the plant and affect the yield in serious cases. Carbendazim wettable powder can be used for spraying treatment of anthrax

4、 Other issues

1. Edible: edible

2. Toxicity: non toxic and can be used as medicine
