Cultivation Technology of Autumn Squash In Greenhouse

Squash’s unique flavor is the reason why people like them very much. Greenhouse cultivation can have the yield for 4,000 to 5,000 kg. Here are some cultivation techniques:
1.Select fine varieties
The early-maturing varieties with good disease resistance, good humidity and low temperature tolerance is a good choice.
2. Timely planting, grafting and cultivating robust seedlings
1. Sowing period. Suitable sowing time is late August to early September. Since delayed cultivation in late autumn has lower temperature and poor light, so it is easy to premature senility. Therefore the common way is grafting.
2. Soaking seeds. Soaking the seeds in 55 ℃ water and stir constantly, when the temperature dropped to 30 ℃, soak the seeds 4 to 6 hours, then promote germination in 25 ℃ ~ 3 O ℃ environment.
3. Preparation for seedbed. Choose the fertile fields with higher terrain, loose soil, good water and drainage ability. Disinfect the soil before sowing.
4. Sowing. Control the temperature at 25 ℃ to 28 ℃ to ensure the normal growth of the seedlings.
5. Grafting and management. When the first leave is beginning to stretch, it is suitable time to graft. Pay attention to water and fertilizer management of grafting period.
3. Fix planting. The suitable planting density is 2200plants per mu. Loosen the soil and apply appropriate fertilizers and water to the fields before fix planting.
4, management
1. Temperature management. Maintain the temperature at 25 ℃ to 30 ℃ to keep the normal growth of the seedlings. Keep the temperature at 22 ℃ to 28 ℃ to promote the growth and development of fruits. Reduce ventilation.
2. Water management. keep suitable water content of the soil.
3. Fertilizers management.
4. Use growth regulator e and adjustment. Timely remove old leaves.
5, pest and disease control
Strengthen the Pharmacy prevention, and at the same time, pay attention to control water, and in sunny weather increase the ventilation from the moisture.
6, Harvest
Timely harvest, and it is the harvest time when the first fruit weighs 0.3kg.(Reproduced)
