How can field management of loofah be strengthened? These measures need to be mastered

Loofah grows vigorously and needs sufficient fertilizer, so organic fertilizer should be applied abundantly, and foliar spraying should be applied appropriately together with micro-fertilizer root drenching, which can induce the plant's absorption, digestion and release of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and various trace elements in the soil, enhance the positive energy of fruit development, and optimize fruit quality. During the fruiting stage and the peak fruiting stage, the amount of fertilizer applied should be increased appropriately. During the growing period of loofah, the soil should be kept moist, and a new high-lipid film should be sprayed on the vines at the right time to retain moisture and preserve soil moisture, prevent waterlogging, protect against sun exposure and dry hot winds, which can effectively reduce the adverse effects on plants under unfavorable climates such as prolonged drought and continuous rainy days, and help restore growth vitality.

Therefore, in management, in addition to regular spraying to prevent disease, attention must also be paid to regulating the balance between the vegetative growth and reproductive growth of loofah. Before loofah flowering, at the young fruit stage and at the fruit expansion stage, spray Zhuangguadiling once each time, which can balance nutrient matching, regulate vegetative growth and reproductive growth to maintain balance, and promote more flowering and more fruiting. In the late harvesting period of autumn loofah, the diseased leaves and old leaves below affect ventilation and also easily spread diseases, so they should be removed in time. This helps ventilation and light penetration or reduces pests and diseases. Then spray Hushu Dajiangjun comprehensively and evenly to disinfect and sterilize, preventing bacterial replication and infection.
