When you plant loofah in April, what fertilizer can you use to grow more and more delicious?

It's April. After Tomb-Sweeping Day, it is the solar term in Grain Rain. Here is Jinzhou, Shijiazhuang, Hebei where Sister Rong is located. There is a proverb called "Before and after Grain Rain, plant melons and beans". Many families with small yards will grow loofah at home during this period.

Luffa is a nutritious vegetable with good taste and long growth time. Luffa grows without pesticides and is a "green vegetable". In the growth period of loofah, it grows faster and grows more loofah, so it is also fattening. Luffa can use three kinds of fertilizers. After using these three fertilizers well, loofah will grow more and taste better. So which three fertilizers do we use for loofah?

Rotting fertilizer

Speaking of Qingming Grain Rain, people will plant loofah in their own small yards. The seed coat of towel gourd is hard, so it is not easy to emerge when planting. Therefore, when planting loofah, soak the loofah seeds in water for 2 to 3 days in advance, and then plant loofah. You can also plant seedlings in flowerpots in advance and then plant them in small yards.

When we plant loofah or sow loofah seeds, we will tidy up the place where loofah is planted, that is, sprinkle some decomposed feces, turn over the ground with a shovel, then level the ground, dig two small pits, pour water on it, and then put the loofah in and bury it.

Another method is to dig a bigger pit, then put the decomposed manure under it, fill in some soil, and then bury the loofah seeds or seedlings on it to make it permeable.

When planting loofah, adding some decomposed manure can make the loofah grow more vigorously and the branches of the loofah grow stronger, because the decomposed manure contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

nitrogenous fertilizer

In the growth period of Luffa, in order to make Luffa grow faster in the early stage, we can apply some nitrogen fertilizer after Luffa grows vigorously. This is to fertilize loofah, and the method that needs to be taken is to fertilize outside the roots, that is, to spread fertilizer. This is nitrogen fertilizer for towel gourd, which can promote the growth of branches and vines of towel gourd and make it blossom and bear fruit earlier.

Also, when applying nitrogen fertilizer to loofah, don't use too much, because the root system of loofah is shallow and the absorption capacity of fertilizer is not too strong, so we can use the method of applying thin fertilizer frequently to prevent root burning.

In addition, after loofah bears fruit, it is necessary to apply some dilute nitrogen fertilizer, which can promote the growth of loofah fruit. At the same time, when applying fertilizer, don't apply too much fertilizer at a time, and don't use it frequently, in case the taste of loofah becomes weak.

Phosphorus and potassium fertilizer

In the growth period of loofah, it is necessary to properly apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which can make the branches of loofah grow stronger, so that more loofah will grow.

Applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to loofah is generally a method of fertilization outside the root. When applying nitrogen fertilizer, we can add some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer at the early growth stage of Luffa, or we can use NPK compound fertilizer with the ratio of 1: 1: 1, which can not only promote the growth of Luffa, but also promote the flower bud differentiation, so that Luffa can find some results.

After the loofah bears fruit, in addition to using nitrogen fertilizer to promote the growth of loofah, it can also be sprayed with potassium dihydrogen phosphate water-soluble fertilizer, which can play the role of picking loofah in advance and make the loofah have better quality and more fragrant taste. In addition, when spraying potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the loofah, a small amount of urea can be added to make the loofah grow more vigorously, so that the branches of the loofah will grow stronger and the loofah will grow bigger and better.

Summary: Luffa is a kind of nutritious vegetable, which is called green vegetable because it does not need pesticides during its growing period. When planting loofah, we can apply some decomposed manure. After the towel gourd grows vigorously, we can apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer. After loofah bears fruit, we can use nitrogen fertilizer to promote growth and spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate to improve quality and promote maturity. In addition, after fertilizing the roots of Luffa, we need to water them once to prevent the roots from burning due to fertilizer damage. Doing this well can make loofah grow more and taste better.
