Japanese pumpkin is high quality, early maturing, strongly stress resistant, high yielding, and economically significant, making it one of the preferred vegetable varieties for structural adjustment. In recent years, the planted area of Japanese pumpkin has grown larger and larger, and the cultivation techniques for Japanese pumpkin have become more and more urgent. In order to help most agricultural workers master the cultivation techniques as quickly as possible, the cultivation techniques for Japanese pumpkin are briefly introduced below.

1. Timing

The cultivation season varies by region. In northern regions, direct sowing in open fields is mostly practiced, generally sowing after the late frost in mid to late April.

2. Land preparation

Land preparation and sowing: This variety has a well-developed root system and roots deeply, so where conditions permit, autumn plowing and spring plowing can be carried out, with a plowing depth of about 30-40 cm. Apply heavy basal fertilizer, with 5000 kg of farmyard manure and 45-50 kg of compound fertilizer per 667 sq m.

3. Field management

After the pumpkin seedlings emerge, the film should be broken open promptly to release the seedlings, so as to avoid burning the seedlings. In early spring, pay attention to the weather forecast and be prepared to prevent frost. Pumpkin does not have high requirements for soil moisture; generally no irrigation is needed before the vines spread, and especially in the early growth stage water should be properly controlled. For the first female flower, wait until the fruit grows to the size of an egg, then apply one application of manure water, or combine it with watering and apply 15-20 kg of quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer per 667 sq m. Pumpkin is relatively drought tolerant; in normal years, watering 1-2 times during the entire growth period is sufficient.

Alright, the above is the Japanese pumpkin cultivation technique brought to you by the editor. I hope it will be helpful after reading.
