How to prevent the internal rot of loofah

1. Use poison bait to kill and prevent the inside of the loofah from rotting

During the growth period of the loofah, you can use 40 parts of banana peel or pineapple peel, add 0.5 parts of 90% of Baichong crystals and 1 part of essence, add water to make a paste, and then apply it directly on the loofah vines, or put it in a container and hang it under the loofah rack. Twenty points per acre will do.

2. Remove the diseased melons as soon as possible to prevent the inside of the loofah from rotting.

During the growth period of loofah, if diseased loofahs appear, they must be picked off in time and necessary treatment must be carried out to avoid harming other healthy loofahs. After picking the diseased loofahs, they must be sprayed with pesticides and buried deep to block the spread of diseases and insects and reduce the occurrence of symptoms of rot inside the loofahs.

3. Use drugs to spray to prevent the inside of the loofah from rotting

During the growth period of the loofah, if you do not have too much energy to take care of them, the best way is to spray pesticides to reduce the occurrence of internal rot symptoms of the loofah. There are many pesticides that can be sprayed, such as DDT, pyrethroids, and mefenacet. The best time to spray pesticides is every evening. Spraying for three to five consecutive days will have the best preventive effect. However, the ratio of water to different pesticides is different. Everyone should pay attention to the instructions for use on the pesticides.
