How many kilograms of loofah can be produced per mu?

Output of loofah per mu

Luffa is also called win melon, vegetable melon, water melon, etc., but the specific yield is still related to management technology. Usually the yield per mu can reach about 6,000-10,000 catties, and good varieties can even reach 20,000 catties.

Loofah planting profit

The current market price of loofah is around 2-3 yuan per catty, and the cost per mu of land is about 2,000 yuan. If the yield per mu can reach 8,000 catties, the net profit can be as high as 20,000 yuan.

Nowadays, the prospects for loofah cultivation are very good. It can not only be eaten as a vegetable, but also as a medicinal material. It is exported overseas in large quantities every year, so the prospects for cultivation are very broad.

High-yield planting technology of loofah

1. Land preparation and sowing

It is best to prepare the land into deep furrows and high ridges for loofah. If sowing in summer, you can just sow in holes, with 3-4 seeds in each hole. Soak the seeds in warm water for a few hours before sowing to facilitate germination.

2. Fertilizer and water management

If you want to get high yields of loofah, you need to do a good job of fertilizer and water management, apply heavy topdressing during the flowering period, and apply an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer per acre of land, but do not apply too much water, otherwise it will be detrimental to the growth of the root system.
