cultivation techniques
After planting, intertillage weeds in spring and winter every year 1 time. After each intertillage weeding, combine fertilization. When the stems and vines grow to more than 30cm, it is necessary to set up a shed to lead the vines to the shelves.
After the vines are put on the shelves, pay attention to pruning and branching, remove weak vines and vines, and branch too many axillary buds to promote nutrient concentration and benefit the fruits. Artificial pollination should be carried out during flowering and fruiting period, and base fertilizer should be applied again. ?
Trichosanthes kirilowii began to bear fruit 2 ~ 3 years after planting. Because the flowering period is long and the fruit maturity is inconsistent, it needs to be picked in batches in time. Then hang the fruit in a ventilated place to dry, which is the whole Trichosanthes kirilowii. Cut the fresh fruit of Trichosanthes kirilowii with a knife, take out the seeds and dry them, which is the seeds of Trichosanthes kirilowii.
