How to grow loofah

Luffa is a perennial crop, but the planting time should be determined according to the environment and temperature in the region, and at the same time, water and fertilizer application and field management should be done well, and water-soluble fertilizer should be applied in time to ensure the high quality and high yield of Luffa.

Luffa can be planted all year round.

In spring, loofah is planted in Tomb-Sweeping Day. During this period, the temperature gradually warmed up, which was more suitable for the growth of loofah. If it is in the south, it can be planted around beginning of spring.

In summer, loofah can be planted in May-June. Because of the high temperature in summer, it is best to choose varieties with good temperature tolerance to avoid environmental differences caused by high temperature and reduce yield.

Autumn is more suitable for towel gourd. At this time, planting loofah can be carried out after the first batch of crops are harvested, so that a harvest can be completed before the arrival of low temperature.

In winter, towel gourd planting is basically carried out in greenhouse, and the time is about 1 1 month. When planting loofah in winter, we should pay attention to maintaining the temperature and humidity in the greenhouse to provide a good growth environment for loofah.

Do a good job in fertilization and management

Soak loofah seeds before planting to accelerate germination. Before sowing, loofah seeds should be dried in the sun for about 2-3 days, then soaked and disinfected with trisodium phosphate for about 65438 05 minutes, then put into warm water at about 70℃ to stir the seeds, and soaked for about 5 hours when the water temperature drops to 25℃.

Topdressing is very important after sowing. In addition to the daily application of water-soluble fertilizer, some microbial agents can be added, which can improve the soil environment and make the root system of Luffa grow well. Finally, this plant is characterized by high quality and high yield.

Finally, the temperature of loofah should be lowered properly after sowing, watered in time, and field management should be done well in the later stage to prevent the occurrence of various pests and diseases.
