How to improve the fruit-bearing rate of loofah

Sponge gourd is a common vegetable in summer, and it is also a favorite vegetable for many people to grow in their family gardens. However, some people grow sponge gourds that grow vigorously but produce few fruits, which makes them very upset. How to increase the fruit-bearing rate of sponge gourds is the most concerned issue for these people. If you want to increase the fruit-bearing rate of sponge gourds, learn a few tricks from the editor.

How to improve the fruit-bearing rate of loofah

1. If you want to increase the fruit-bearing rate of loofah, the most important thing is to choose a good variety. Xinxiatang, Xiayou, etc. are ideal choices for people. In addition, if you want more loofah fruits, you cannot sow directly when planting loofah. You must transplant after raising seedlings.

2. After the loofah is planted, field management is an important way to increase its fruiting rate. When the vines of the loofah grow to about 35 centimeters, you should start pressing the vines. When they grow to about 70 centimeters, you should press the vines a second time. When pressing the vines, pay attention to pulling them in the same direction. This will help you manage the loofah.

3. When the loofahs are flowering and bearing fruit, they should be sorted out in time. If you find some small loofahs growing on the loofahs, or are entangled by some tendrils, you should deal with them in time so that they can stand vertically under the melon rack. If there are diseased loofahs, they should be cleaned up in time, which can increase the fruit-bearing rate of the loofahs.

4. Reasonable fertilization is also an important method to improve the fruit-bearing rate of loofah. Before planting loofah, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied, and topdressing should be applied in time when the growth is vigorous. However, before the loofah bears fruit, the supply of fertilizer and water must be controlled. It should not be too much, otherwise the fruit will not be firmly hung, which is very unfavorable for the high fruit-bearing rate of loofah.
