Planting time of green-skinned wax gourd
Green wax gourd is a kind of wax gourd, which was introduced from Guangdong province by vegetable farmers in the suburbs of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in the early 1950s. Green-skinned wax gourd is late-maturing, waterlogging-resistant, disease-resistant, and easy to get sunburned under high temperature and strong light. Sowing in Zhejiang Province is from mid-February to mid-March and from early April to late April. Sow seedlings in a sunlight greenhouse or a sunlight bed, and use a nutrition bowl or a nutrition earthwork to raise seedlings. Mix high-quality decomposed farmyard manure with fertile soil according to the ratio of 1: 2, stir evenly, sieve, and put into a nutrition bowl or make into nutritious earthwork. After airing and watering, accelerate germination and sowing, cover with plastic film in time, raise temperature and keep moisture. Small wax gourd is drought-tolerant, and it is generally not watered at seedling stage after being watered enough at sowing time. If the nutrient soil is too dry, you can water it under clear sky, and pay attention to heat preservation and moisture dissipation. The seedling age is 40-50 days, and it is planted when the seedling grows to four leaves and one heart or 5-8 leaves.

It can also be cultivated by scaffolding or climbing on the ground. Scaffolding cultivation has higher yield and better quality than ground climbing. Generally, 2500 ~ 3000 kilograms of organic fertilizer and 50 kilograms of calcium superphosphate are applied per mu. The row spacing of tomato intercropping plants is 1.4 ~ 1.8m× 3 ~ 4, and the row spacing of climbing plants is 3m× 0.8m When the weather is hot and bright, cover melons with grass to prevent sunburn. Harvest from late June to late August.
