I. General overview of snakes
Snake melons, also known as cucumbers, cabbage, dragon cat melons, are among the more common in summer. Snakes are as long as snakes and have unique vertical and vertical trails on their surfaces, which give them a name. The snakes are thin, juicy and tasteful, and are hailed as a good food for the summer。
Ii. Technology of enforcement of packling
Land selection
Snake melons are suitable for growth in sandy soil or dryland soils with good drainage, high fertility and ph values of 6. 0-7. 0. Snakes grow at temperatures of 10°c-35°c, requiring adequate sunlight and an average annual temperature of 20°c and above. The appropriate soil types are valleys, hills, mountains, etc. Attention also needs to be paid to the shade of snakes during their growth and to wind avoidance。
Varieties selection
The choice of the species of snake melons is crucial, with the choice of heat-resistant, disease-resistant, early and high-yielding varieties for cultivation. At present, the most common varieties of excellence are gangnam zhuba, white dragon 1, and others。
Reproduction methods
The most common breeding methods used by snakes are seed breeding and stalking. The seed breeding rate is low and is generally recommended in the form of stalking. Eclipse plugs can be carried out outdoors or in greenhouses, usually using trimmed seedlings, with one section containing 1-2 sections and about 3 sections below。
Plantation methods
Snake gourd is a chicken plant and therefore requires a certain area of land. Before planting, ground tillage is required, preferably on a 2-3 basis. Cultivation is generally carried out at a range of about 1. 5-2 m and 50 cm. In the process of planting, care is taken to fix the snake melon and to ensure its water supply。
Management techniques
Snakes are less developed and therefore need management techniques。
(1) fertilisation: the number of fertilisations required for snake melons is more frequent, usually every 15-20 days. It is recommended that organic fertilizers be selected to ensure the quality of snakes。
(2) pollination: serpentine pollination requires manual assistance to ensure better fruit production。
(3) pest and pest management: during growth, snakes are exposed to multiple pests and viruses, requiring regular pest control。
Harvest and storage
Snake melons need to be harvested with a knife or hand, when the fruit matures. After harvesting, snakes can be placed in room temperature for 5-7 days, and once the fruit is fully mature, they can be eaten or stored. Snakes can generally be stored for about three to four weeks at 5°c-10°c。
The nutritional value of snakes
Snakes contain abundant nutrients, containing 93. 7 g of moisture, 0. 6 g of protein, 0. 1g of fat, 4. 9g of carbohydrates and 0. 2g of cellulose, as well as various nutrients such as vitamin c, calcium and phosphorus. Snakes have a function of heat, thirst and beauty, and often eat snakes for their own health。
Market prospects
As one of the representatives of summer foods, snakes have extensive market demand. According to statistics as of 2019, the annual production of snakes has reached about 150,000 tons, of which the provinces of hunan, jiangxi, fujian, guangxi and guangdong are more important. Snakes have good market prospects and development potential, and their production and sales will continue to climb。
Conclusion
Snake melons are a common summer fruit, growing relatively simple, scientifically managed, with high yield of snake melon fruit. In planting snakes, attention should be paid to the selection of land, the selection of varieties, the selection of breeding methods and planting methods, together with management techniques, to improve the production and quality of snakes. At the same time, as demand for health and beauty increases, the market demand for snakes will continue to rise and will become an important crop for farmers everywhere in the future。
