High-yield planting technology of gourd

1. Site selection and land preparation

If you want to get a high yield of gourd, it is best to plant it in loose, fertile land with convenient drainage and irrigation. Before planting, you should deep plow the soil in advance, add enough base fertilizer, and make long ridges.

2. Seed soaking and germination

Because the seed shell of the gourd is relatively hard, it is best to soak it in warm water for 1-2 days before planting, then place it in an environment of 25℃, and wait until it turns white before planting.

3. Seeding and planting

Sprinkle the melon seeds evenly on the soil, then cover it with a thin layer of soil. Water it appropriately after sowing to keep the soil slightly moist.
