What's the name of fruit like zucchini?

Cucumber, whose real name is cucumber, is green and tender, so Guangzhou likes to call it cucumber. Only the old melons that have been planted show the true colors of cucumbers. Fresh and tender cucumbers have vigorous life activities and fast nutrient consumption; Thin skin, poor water retention capacity, easy to lose water; There are tumor thorns on the surface of melon skin, which are easy to be infected with germs because of bumping. During storage, the chlorophyll of cucumber gradually decomposes, and the epidermis of cucumber turns from green to yellow. During the storage period, because the seeds can continue to develop and mature, the melon body is deformed, and the phenomenon of "big belly" or "big head" appears. Moreover, the crispy melon meat at one end of the melon handle softened into chaff, which lost its edible value. The above situation is the outstanding problem of cucumber preservation. In addition, cucumber is afraid of cold, and will suffer from cold damage below 10℃. Therefore, cucumber is a kind of melon and vegetable that is not easy to store. Even at low temperature, it can only be kept fresh for ten days at most.

Pumpkin is also known as Indian Pumpkin, Jade Pumpkin and North Pumpkin. Cucurbitaceae, Cucurbitaceae. Annual vine herb, with tender melons or seeds as its cultivation purpose. Young melons are suitable for frying, stuffing or feed, and dry seeds can be fried.

Features:

Bamboo shoots and melons have developed roots and grow rapidly. The stem is almost round. Leaves are soft and hairy, round or heart-shaped, with shallow or no cracks and no white spots. Corolla lobes are soft, drooping outward, sepals are long and narrow, buds are open, and the apex is cut. Pedicel short, cylindrical, base not swollen. The surface of the fruit is smooth, and the mature fruit has no aroma and low sugar content. The edge color of the seed coat is the same as that of the middle part, the hilum is skewed, and the seed is larger.

Variety:

The varieties of bamboo shoots are divided into white skin, yellow skin and flower skin according to skin color, and into large bamboo shoots and small bamboo shoots according to size. The varieties commonly used in the Yangtze River valley are white-skinned bamboo shoots, white-skinned bamboo shoots and yellow-skinned bamboo shoots in Nanjing, white-skinned bamboo shoots, yellow-skinned bamboo shoots and six-skinned bamboo shoots in Anhui, and northern melons in Huai 'an.

According to practical experience, the number of thorns in cucumber is closely related to preservation, and less thorns is more beneficial to storage and preservation than more thorns. Cucumbers planted in the south have more tumors and fewer thorns, while those planted in the north are mostly "prickly melons" with more tumors and thorns. Scissors are required when collecting, and care should be taken not to hurt the tumor.

Cucumber is cold-resistant and easy to lose water. The storage and transportation temperature should not be lower than 10℃, but it is easy to age when it is higher than 15℃. In order to prevent water loss, the humidity of the environment should be above 95%. High temperature and high humidity are easy to get sick, so disinfection and anti-corrosion measures must keep up. Solving this contradiction is also the key to cucumber preservation. In addition, cucumber is also sensitive to ethylene, so it can't be stored and transported with melons, pears, tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables that easily release ethylene. It is best to put the ethylene absorbent in the package.

In view of the above situation, there are three forms of film packaging for fresh-keeping cucumbers: one is to stack baskets full of melons and cover them with 0.04-0.06 mm film curtains; The second is to put a 0.03 mm through-bottom membrane tube in the basket, and the nozzle is folded; The third is to put1-2kg in a 0.03 mm film bag, fold it and store it in a basket. For the above three methods, before and after packaging, don't forget to use the bactericide Kemeiling containing 50% sec-butylamine, 0. 1 ml per kilogram of cucumber, fumigate for 24 hours before packaging, or pack it with cotton balls dipped in liquid medicine, and be careful not to touch the melon.

Watermelon, namely water bamboo, is also called high melon.

Zucchini has many different common names in different places: Gougua, White Cucumber, Cucumber and American Pumpkin.

Zucchini, scientific name zucchini.

Alias watermelon, white melon, pumpkin, American pumpkin

Classification cucurbitaceae, cucurbitaceae.

Native to southern North America, it is now widely planted.

Morphological annual herb vines (creeping), with three major strains: dwarf, semi-creeping and creeping. Most varieties have obvious advantages of main vines, but few advantages of lateral vines. Main vine length: Dwarf varieties have short internodes, the vine length is usually less than 50㎝, and sometimes it can reach 1m in solar greenhouse (due to the long growth period); Semi-creeping varieties are generally about 80cm; ; Creeping varieties are usually several meters long. Leafy tendrils are climbing vines, but they often crawl (some short varieties are erect).

Simple leaves, large, palmately parted, alternate (short varieties densely alternate), rough and prickly leaves. Petiole is long and hollow. Some varieties have different shades of green leaves, and there are silvery white spots near the veins.

Flowers are unisexual and hermaphroditic. Flowers are solitary in leaf axils, bright yellow or orange yellow. The corolla of male flower is bell-shaped, and perianth tube is formed at the base of calyx. Pollen grains are large, heavy and sticky, and cannot be blown away by the wind, so they can only be pollinated by insects. Female flower ovary is inferior, with stamens but degenerated, with a ring of nectary. The parthenocarpy rate is low, and artificial pollination is needed in winter and early spring when there are few insects. Male flowers and female flowers are originally differentiated from flower primordium in leaf axils, followed by sepals, petals, stamens and carpels from outside to inside. However, when the male flowers form buds, carpels stop developing and stamens begin to develop. In female flowers, stamens stop developing and carpels develop when buds form, thus forming pistils and ovaries.

The shapes of fruits are cylindrical, oval and long cylindrical. The skin color of tender melon and mature melon, some varieties are the same, some varieties are different. The skin color of tender melon is white, white green, golden yellow, dark green, dark green or white green; The skin color of ripe melon is white, milky white, yellow, orange or yellow-green.

Each fruit contains 300-400 seeds, white or light yellow, long oval, smooth seed coat, 1000-grain weight 130-200 g, service life is generally 4-5 years, and the upper limit of production and utilization is 2-3 years.

Temperature: it is a cold-resistant but not high-temperature resistant melon vegetable. The optimum temperature for the growth period is 20-25℃, and the growth is slow when it is lower than 65438 05℃, and stops when it is lower than 8℃. It grows slowly above 30℃ and is easy to get sick. The suitable temperature for seed germination is 25-30℃, and it can germinate at 65438 03℃, but it is very slow. Germination at 30-35℃ is the fastest, but it is easy to cause overgrowth. The flowering and fruiting period needs a higher temperature, and generally it is best to keep it at 22-25℃. Early-maturing varieties are more tolerant to low temperature. The lowest temperature of root elongation is 6℃, and the lowest temperature of root hair occurrence is 65438 02℃. The fertilized fruit can develop normally at night at 8-65438 00℃.

Illumination: the intensity of illumination is moderate, and it is resistant to weak light, but insufficient illumination is easy to cause virtual length. Plants with short photoperiod are beneficial to the growth of stems and leaves under long-day conditions, and bear fruit earlier under short-day conditions.

Humidity: I like humidity, but I can't stand drought. Especially in the fruiting period, the soil should be kept moist to obtain high yield. Viral diseases are easy to occur under high temperature and drought conditions; But high temperature and high humidity are also easy to cause powdery mildew.

Soil: The requirements for soil are not strict. Sandy soil, loam and clay can be cultivated, and loam with deep soil layer is easy to obtain high yield.

Fertilizer: A large amount of fertilizer is needed to produce 1 0,000 kg of commercial melon, which is equivalent to 3.9-5.5 kg of nitrogen, 2. 1-2.3 kg of phosphorus pentoxide and 4-7.3 kg of potassium oxide.

Propagation cultivation

Sowing and breeding, spring sowing or autumn sowing, mainly spring sowing. Cultivation methods are divided into open field, simple ground cover and protected field cultivation (also divided into small arch shed and greenhouse cultivation), each with its own characteristics. Here is a brief introduction to the general culture methods:

Seed selection and seed soaking: remove impurities, select clean and full seeds with a 1000-grain weight of about 200g, put them into clay pots or other oil-free containers, soak them in cold water first, then scald them with warm water at 50-55℃, keep stirring constantly, keep 15-20 minutes, naturally cool them to 20-30℃, and soak them for 4-6 hours. Air-drying, heating to accelerate germination when semi-drying, and the appropriate temperature is 25℃. If the seed quantity is large, it can be turned over during germination to promote orderly germination, but it will not be turned over after germination.

Sowing: When the bud length is about 1.5cm, choose sunny and warm weather. If you can't sow in rainy days, you can put the seeds in a cool place to control the growth of buds.

Sowing nutrient soil should be prepared 20-30 days before sowing. Selecting disease-free soil and farmyard manure without planting melons and vegetables for preparation. Usually, 6 parts of garden soil are mixed with 4 parts of rotten horse manure or manure. Put it in a seedbed, paper bag or plastic bowl (9- 10 ㎝) with a thickness of 8-9 cm. Cover the soil about 2 cm after sowing.

Seedling growth: seedlings are easy to grow in white, and temperature and humidity should be strictly controlled. After sowing, the seedlings should be kept at a high temperature before coming out of the soil layer, with the daytime temperature of 25-30℃, the nighttime temperature of 18-20℃, the ground temperature of 22-24℃ and the relative humidity of 80-90%, and the seedlings will emerge in about 3-4 days. After the seedlings come out, they should be properly cooled and ventilated. The daytime temperature is about 25℃, and the nighttime temperature is 13- 14℃. After the first true leaf is unfolded, the nighttime temperature drops to 12℃. 8- 10 days before planting, the ventilation rate should be gradually increased, and the seedlings should be exercised by cooling, generally 15-25℃ during the day and 6-8℃ at night.

Planting and field management: After 30-35 days of seedling management, 3-4 true leaf seedlings can be cultivated and planted.

Sufficient base fertilizer should be applied before planting. Apply 3000-5000 ㎏ of high-quality farmyard manure per mu, as well as horse manure and sheep manure.

After land reclamation, ridges with a spacing of 60-65 ㎝ will be formed, with a spacing of 40-50 ㎝, and 2000-2500 plants will be planted per mu. It can also be made into flat beds with a width of 1.3m, with two rows for each bed.

When planting saplings, sit in the water and plant them. When the water seeps down, seal them up and straighten the seedlings.

The ground temperature is above 13℃ in the safe planting period, and the night temperature is not lower than 10℃.

After slow sowing, topdressing (cake fertilizer150-200, or ternary compound fertilizer 50-60) and watering "seedling-promoting water", but because of the low ground temperature, it is not suitable to water too much. After that, timely intertillage and loosen the soil without applying water and fertilizer, and then water the first melon until it grows to 10- 12 ㎝. Water melons every 5-7 days, keep the topsoil moist, and drain in rainy season.

2-3 times topdressing is appropriate at the fruiting stage. Each application of fecal diluent 1000- 1500 \
