🌱How to grow

Suitable environmental conditions: Pumpkin is a temperature-loving vegetable. The suitable temperature for seed germination is 25-32℃, and the optimum temperature for growth is 23-32℃; it likes plenty of sunlight, and if the sun is not sufficient, this will affect the growth of the pumpkin.; pumpkin has a strong root system and strong drought tolerance , But we should also water it in time; in general, pumpkins are not strict on the soil, so we can plant pumpkins everywhere.

1. Seed selection treatment
Before planting Beibei squash in the open field, choose good seeds. Suitable seeds can increase the germination rate. Put the pumpkin seeds in the sun for a while, and then soak them in warm water at about 40 degrees. After soaking for a period of time, take the seeds out, wrap them in moist gauze, and place them in a warm place to accelerate germination.

2. Seed treatment
①First soak the seeds with hot water at 60℃ and stir continuously for 10 minutes to make them evenly heated; when the water temperature drops to 30℃, soak the seeds for 6 to 8 hours; after scrubbing the mucus on the surface of the seeds, soak the seeds with 1% potassium permanganate solution for 15 minutes or 10% trisodium phosphate for 20 minutes; after draining, rinse the seeds with clean water, dry the surface moisture of the seeds, and then wrap them with a clean damp cloth.
②Place the soaked seeds at 25°C-30°C to accelerate germination; after 36-48 hours, when 75% of the seeds are broken and the roots are exposed, and the buds grow to 0.3-0.8cm, they can be sown.

3. Sowing
Beibei pumpkins are mainly divided into spring sowing and autumn sowing. Spring sowing is around January, and autumn sowing is from July to August. You can use the nutrient bowl for sowing, prepare the soil, load the soil into the nutrient bowl, put the seed buds in the soil up, then cover the soil, and then lightly water, and wait until the seedlings grow 3-4 pieces When leaves are colonized.

4.Carry out colonization
 Choose the location for planting in the open field, plow and fertilize the soil deeply to ensure the looseness and fertility of the soil. Plant the pumpkin seedlings in the soil and keep the row spacing. Normally, the spacing between single vines is about 30 cm, and the spacing between double vines is about 60 cm.

5. Seedling management
Beibei pumpkin seedlings are planted for about 22 days, and they are cultivated in three-dimensional cultivation with hanging vines. After planting for about a month, they need to be cultivated and weeded to keep the soil breathable for root growth.

6. Pollination results
When the male and female flowers of Beibei pumpkin open up one after another, artificial pollination can be carried out. The pollination time is 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning. The pollen of the male flower is smeared on the female style to promote pollination and fertilization, so that the pumpkin will bloom and bear fruit normally.
