Artificial pollination.

Choose the right container: pumpkins have large roots, so choose large containers with moderate depth, such as large flowerpots or planting bags.

How to grow pumpkins in the open air?

1. Soil preparation and fertilization. When planting pumpkins in the open, it is necessary to clear the garden in time after the previous crops are harvested, and turn the land deeply, then apply 3000-4000 kg of high-quality farm manure to each mu of land, and then make a climbing cultivation border in the plot, with a length of 10 meters and a width of 2 meters. Sow seeds and raise seedlings.

2. If pumpkins are cultivated in facilities or in open fields (on rainy days during flowering), artificial pollination or bee-assisted pollination can be carried out in order to increase pumpkin setting rate and yield and prevent stiff buds and fruits. Pumpkin flowers bloom before 6 o'clock in the morning, and pollination should be completed before 9 o'clock in the morning to improve pollination efficiency and fruit setting rate.

3. Soaking and sowing: planting in the open field is generally in early March, and the sowing period is about 20-25 days. Sowing is carried out in early April. The seeds are soaked in warm water of 55 ℃ for about 3-4 hours, and the seeds can be sowed when the buds grow to 0.5-0cm. Soil requirements: Beibei pumpkin does not have high requirements for soil, suitable for planting in slightly acidic soil, pH value is about 5-8, can be planted in sandy loam or loam.

4. Planting techniques of open-air shellfish pumpkin: soaking seeds and sowing seeds: planting pumpkins in the open field is usually carried out at the beginning of March, the sowing period is about 20-25 days, and the seeds are sown in early April. The seeds should be soaked in 55 ℃ warm water for 3-4 hours and sowed when the buds grow to 0.5-0cm. Soil requirements: Beibei pumpkin has wide adaptability and is suitable to be planted in slightly acidic soil with a pH range of 5-8. Either sandy loam or loam can be used for planting.

5. Pumpkins cultivated in China are mainly pumpkin, bamboo squash and zucchini, and black-seeded pumpkins are also cultivated in Yunnan Province. Key points of pumpkin cultivation techniques (1) Pumpkin varieties and sowing date pumpkin varieties are classified according to maturity: early-maturing varieties, middle-maturing varieties, late-maturing varieties; fruit size: big pumpkin, small pumpkin; fruit shape: round pumpkin, long pumpkin; uses: edible varieties, ornamental varieties, grafted varieties.

Planting time and method of pumpkin

1. Pumpkin should be planted in February to March in spring, or in autumn.

2. The planting method of pumpkin: choose the planting place and rectify the land, sow, manage, etc.; the planting time can be between January and March or autumn and August.

3. Sowing time: pumpkin is sown from the end of February to the beginning of March every year. It is best to mix seeds with carbendazim before sowing, so as to avoid the harm of underground pests to pumpkin seeds. We usually use the way of direct seeding to sow the seeds evenly on the seedbed, and then cover the seeds with a thin layer of nutritious soil.

4. Pumpkin planting time pumpkins like warm and short sunshine environment, have a certain tolerance to drought and waterlogging, and have strong adaptability to soil. Normally, pumpkin planting in spring should be between Qingming Festival and Grain Rain, that is, from April to May every year. If you use mulch or greenhouse planting, you can sow the seeds in advance. The varieties with early maturity, disease resistance and high yield were selected for planting in spring.

5. The time of sowing pumpkin in the north can be chosen to sow before and after March in spring and between August and September in autumn, during which the temperature is more suitable, and the seeds can germinate as soon as possible after planting. Note that the time of sowing in spring should not be too early, otherwise the temperature is too low, it will make it difficult for the seeds to germinate. Sowing time should not be too late, otherwise the late temperature is too low, pumpkins are prone to frostbite.

6. The planting time of pumpkin varies with variety and regional climate. In spring, pumpkins are usually sown from January to March. In autumn, the planting time is usually from July to August. The specific planting time should also be determined according to the local climatic conditions and the characteristics of pumpkin varieties. Pumpkin planting methods pumpkin cultivation usually takes place from April to May, which is the most suitable period.

How to grow pumpkins

1. We usually use the way of direct seeding to sow the seeds evenly on the seedbed, and then cover the seeds with a thin layer of nutritious soil.

Seedling management: after pumpkin sowing, we should mainly pay attention to the temperature and humidity management of the seedling bed.

2. Pumpkin is not strict with soil, and sandy loam and loam are the most suitable. If you climb the ground to cultivate pumpkin (except zucchini), the row spacing is 2: 3 meters, and the plant spacing is 0.5: 0.7 meters; if you set up a frame, the row spacing is 5: 2 meters, and the plant spacing is 0.7: 0 meters. The row spacing of cultivated zucchini is 2 to 5 meters, and the plant spacing is 0.7 to 0.9 meters.

3. Time: the best planting time is from January to March of each spring. Soil: choose a slightly acidic soil that is loose, fertile, breathable and well drained, and appropriate amount of base fertilizer should be applied before planting. Planting: spread pumpkin seeds evenly into the soil, cover a layer of soil, gently compact and water thoroughly. Management: after the pumpkin seedlings grow, the top seedlings can be removed, which is helpful to increase the yield.

4. Land preparation. Large pumpkins should be planted in sandy soil and should be prepared before planting, with a width of about 4 meters, length according to plant length, and proper application of base fertilizer. Pumpkin hormone treatment. Soak the seeds with ABT4 Zengchengling 20ppm before sowing for about 4 hours, which can promote the seeds to germinate and grow better. After soaking, rinse the seeds with water to accelerate germination. Sow pumpkins.
