Golden gourd is cylindrical, smooth skin, with shallow edges and shallow grooves, light lemon yellow when ripe. Melon fleshy, raw and cooked edible, delicious, crisp and delicious, but also processed into frozen melon silk, dried spicy melon silk, dehydrated melon silk and so on. In recent years, the vineless gourd, which has been bred, is suitable for large-scale open field cultivation, which is more than double the value of the general variety, and the per-mu output value can reach 10,000 yuan. High yield, 8-10 melons per plant, single melon weight 0.5-2.5 kg, per mu 4000-5000 kg. The cultivation of golden gourd is as follows. 1. Seeding seedlings Golden gourd can be sown in spring and autumn. Seedlings are planted in spring and April-April, and nurtured or nutritional seedlings are nursed, or nursery seedlings are mulched, and transplanted after temperature rises. Seed sowing in autumn from June to July, soaking enough water after sowing. The flowering time of male and female gourd is inconsistent. The female flower is opened 30 days after transplanting and the male flower is opened 40 days later. Therefore, it should be divided into 2 times. One tenth of the first seed sowing, 10 times a day sowing seeds 9/10, so that their flowering period meet. In addition, male flowers can be taken every morning from 8 to 9 am to give the female flowers that are very tall and straight. When transplanting, apply enough base fertilizer 4000-5000 kg, 260 acres planted, spacing 40-45 cm, spacing 100-150 cm. 2. After fertilizing the whole vines and transplanting plants to survive, open the furrows 15-20 cm away from the main root, apply 500-1000 kg of soil-fertilizer in the furrows of the arbour, apply watering after application, or use urea 15-20 kilos with the same amount of chlorine. Potassium mixed with 1% fertilizer solution applied to the ditch, can reduce the volatilization of ammonia, improve urea utilization. Appropriate application of potassium fertilizer or compound fertilizer during the fruiting period. There are two methods of pruning pressure: one way is to remove the terminal buds when the plants grow to 6-8 true leaves, leave 3-4 sidewings, and remove all the remaining sub-vines. 2 melons; the other is to leave a main vine, all the vines removed, and dig a shallow ditch below the main vine 40-50 cm, and bury the stem sections in the ditch, exposing the leaves, and pressing the earth firmly. Afterwards, press the 2nd route between 4-5 knots and press 3-4 in turn. 3. Control pests The major diseases of Luffa gourd include virus disease, powdery mildew and anthrax. Prevention of virus disease is mainly to eliminate aphids, found that the diseased plants were removed and burned; prevention of powdery mildew and anthrax can be sprayed with 45% sulphur glue suspension 200 times. The main pests are locusts and Huangshougua. Can be used 40% Dimethoate 600-800 times or 20% speed killing Ding 6000-8000 times liquid spray, but also with 0.25-0.5 kg of urea plus 100 grams of detergent per acre, 50 kg of water to kill locusts. With 10 kilograms of ash to 50 kilograms of water soak for 24 hours, filtered and then take the filtrate to kill Huang Shougua melon, both pests and top dressing, killing two birds with one stone.
