Generally, no watering is done during the flowering period to promote its smooth sitting, and timely topdressing and watering after fruit set, and then appropriate watering during the fruiting growth period. When the water is insufficient, the growth of the gourd is not good, and the growth of the soil moisture is too large, and the rainstorm should be drained in time.

    Hair root promotion is required throughout the growth period. Before the plant is thrown off the vine, the vine should be introduced to the shelf in time, and the main vine should be topped when it grows to about 2 meters, so as to promote the side vine extraction. After the side vines see fruit, leave 2 leaves to pluck the top, and tie the vines in time.

    When tying vines, the ineffective side branches and dead yellow old leaves can be cut off to improve the internal ventilation and light transmission conditions of the plant. During the growth period of the gourd, the main pests and diseases are powdery mildew, virus diseases and aphids, etc., and the relevant pests and diseases should be referred to.
