Detailed Explanation of Zucchini Seedling Raising Methods and Technical Points
How to raise zucchini seedlings? Please introduce the method. The seedling age for zucchini is best at around 45 days (5 true leaves). Sow at a plant and row spacing of 3.3 cm each, cover the seeds with about 3 cm of soil, and transplant at a plant and row spacing of about 10 cm each. For temperature control in the seedbed, from sowing to emergence, the daytime temperature should be 25-28°C and the nighttime temperature about 12-15°C.

The seedling age for zucchini is best at around 45 days (5 true leaves). Sow at a plant and row spacing of 3.3 cm each, cover the seeds with about 3 cm of soil, and transplant at a plant and row spacing of about 10 cm each. For temperature control in the seedbed, from sowing to emergence, the daytime temperature should be 25-28°C and the nighttime temperature about 12-15°C. After emergence in 3 days, the daytime temperature should be lowered to 23-25°C and the nighttime temperature to 10-12°C to prevent leggy seedlings. In the later seedling stage before planting, the nighttime temperature can be lowered to below 10°C, or even 6-8°C, for hardening off so the seedlings adapt to open-field conditions. Planting or sowing According to a certain standard fertilizer rate, first broadcast the base fertilizer, then deep plow and rake level. For early-maturing cultivation, windbreaks must be set up, then beds are made. Generally, the bed width is 1-1.6 m and the length is 7-10 m. Row and plant spacing varies by type: for the dwarf type, 0.8-1 x 0.4-0.5 m, with 1300-2000 plants per mu; for the vining type, 1.6 x 0.5 m, with 800 plants per mu. The water-settled seedling method can be used for planting. For direct sowing, first soak the seeds to promote germination, then sow in furrows or holes on a sunny and warm day.
