The loofah is a treasure from top to bottom. How should it be fertilized when planting?

The loofah is surely familiar to everyone. In rural courtyards, loofah is generally grown, as it is both attractive and practical. Once it gets old, the loofah can be made into a tool for scrubbing dishes. Of course, the taste of loofah is also good, and to this day many people like to add some when making soup or cooking dishes. Now the price of loofah on the market is not very high either, and many elderly people very much like to eat loofah. Below, let us take a look together at the content about how loofah should be fertilized.

1. Provide sufficient and varied nutrients

1. Organic fertilizer

In order to ensure that the loofah has enough nutrients to provide throughout the entire growth period, it is also best to use some organic fertilizer according to the needs of the loofah, and the amount of already decomposed organic fertilizer used per mu can reach 100 to 200 dan.

2. Human and livestock manure

Of course, natural fertilizers can also be used: some decomposed human and livestock manure and urine also have good nutritional value.

3. Farmyard manure

Some farmyard manure can also be used. Because the types of nutrients in the soil are very many, judging which nutrients are present according to the nutrient content, it is indeed necessary to supplement them in time to ensure that the loofah can be provided with enough nutrients to absorb during the growth period.

2. Apply topdressing in time

1. Seedling stage

Generally, after the loofah has survived planting, especially when the seedlings grow their second leaf, topdressing must be carried out, and the seedlings can be transplanted together with the soil clod. When watering, some human manure and urine can also be mixed in to promote the seedlings. Afterward, as the seedlings grow, topdressing can be done once every 5 to 6 days.

2. Flowering stage

When the loofah plant flowers and sets fruit, vegetative growth and reproductive growth proceed at the same time, so it consumes more nutrients. At this time, the supplementation of nutrients must be strengthened, so that the loofah's nutrient needs during normal growth can be met and the yield can be well increased.

The above is the content about how loofah should be fertilized. I hope it can help more growers. It is suggested that when planting loofah, everyone can first properly understand the growth characteristics of loofah as well as the environment and climate suitable for its growth. During the growth process of winter melon, especially at the peak growth period, the demand for nutrients is very large. If the demand for nutrients and water cannot be met during this special period, it will have a great impact on the future yield and quality of the loofah.
