How can you grow black-skinned winter melon (wax gourd) for high yields?
How can you grow black-skinned winter melon for high yields? Is there a detailed growing method? To achieve high yields when growing black-skinned winter melon, you can refer to the following methods: 1. Sowing and raising seedlings. 1. Seed treatment. Because winter melon seeds have a relatively thick seed coat and do not absorb water easily, they should be soaked to promote germination and disinfected before sowing. Soak the seeds in a 250-fold dilution of 50% carbendazim for 20 minutes. After disinfection, wash the seeds with clean water, then soak them for 5-6 hours, remove them and promote germination. The germination temperature should be about 30°C.

What should be noted when growing winter melon?
What should be noted when growing winter melon? Please provide guidance. When growing winter melon, note the following key points: 1. Soil selection. For growing winter melon, choose a well-drained, deep, fertile sandy loam or clay loam, with a previous crop field where no cucurbit crops have been grown for more than three years; a previous rice crop is even better. 2. Timely sowing. In the Guangzhou area, winter melon cultivation is divided into spring planting and autumn planting, with spring planting being more common, generally sown in January-February. Under the premise of taking cold-protection measures for winter melon seeds, early sowing is better than late sowing, so in recent years it is mostly sown in early to mid-January, which can extend the growth period, especially the vegetative growth period, so that winter melon sets fruit around the rainy season when air humidity is relatively high and the temperature is above 20°C. Autumn-planted winter melon is generally sown around Minor Heat (early to mid-July).
