Is there any difficulty in cultivating loofah?

The cultivation of loofah requires high soil quality. First of all, we choose the soil with thick soil layer and fertile soil. Secondly, the cultivation of loofah requires soil cultivation, which is not only beneficial for loofah to fully absorb soil nutrients, but also beneficial for field irrigation and drainage. Before planting loofah, if you have the conditions at home, you can sprinkle a layer of quicklime on the loofah field, which can not only reduce the occurrence of various diseases and insect pests during the growth of loofah, but also adjust the pH of the soil, which is conducive to the normal growth of loofah. The planting distance of loofah is about half a meter, and three to five seeds can be put in each pit. If the soil is too dry, we can sprinkle some water. After all the seeds in the local area are planted, we can cover the soil with soil and fertilizer. The thickness of covering soil does not need to be too high, and the seeds can be covered slightly. This is not only beneficial to seed germination, but also can greatly improve the early survival rate of towel gourd seedlings.

In autumn or winter, if the temperature of planting loofah outdoors is too low, you can choose to cover the soil with straw or film to keep the temperature. In this process, straw is actually the best choice, but it is not easy to handle in the off-season. The main diseases of towel gourd are Fusarium wilt, downy mildew, powdery mildew and anthracnose. In order to prevent diseases in time, it is necessary to pay attention to every stage of the growth and development of Luffa, resolutely implement the eight-character policy of comprehensive prevention and control, and provide more healthy and green vegetables for people. Sowing loofah seeds has some requirements for the weather. When planting, growers can choose sunny days, usually in the morning. All they need to do is lay the loofah seeds flat on the ground, let the bud tips fall and sprinkle a layer of fine soil on the seeds.

Be sure to pay attention to the thickness of the soil, and don't spread it too thick, because too thick soil will affect the growth of seeds and is not conducive to the growth of seeds. The seeder should straighten the land first, and then record the spacing and density of seeds after applying base fertilizer, which should not be too dense or too thin. Only when it is just right will it not affect the quality of loofah. After all the loofah seeds are sown, water should be poured every two days in the early stage to help the loofah seedlings survive, so it is necessary to wait until the loofah survives before stopping watering every two days. Finally, it is also necessary to check whether there are dead seedlings in the planted luffa varieties, and pull out the luffa varieties with dead seedlings in time so as not to affect the growth of other seedlings.
