The temperature of normal growth is between 20 ℃ ~ 27 ℃, not higher than 35 ℃. Although the root system is relatively developed, the demand for water is still relatively high. Enough light can make it better in quality and growth. Sufficient basal fertilizer should be applied before planting, and then topdressing should be carried out during the growing period.

I. maintenance method

1. Temperature: the normal growth temperature of pumpkin is 20-27 degrees, especially during the growth period, the temperature should not be lower than 15 degrees, otherwise the flowering of the plant will be affected, resulting in a big discount in yield. Of course, too high temperature is not suitable, if it is higher than 35 degrees, it is easy to dehydrate or wither.

2. Watering: Pumpkin's root system is relatively developed, and its own water storage capacity is relatively strong, but normal growth is inseparable from the moist soil, so it needs to be supplemented with water frequently. In summer, it needs to be irrigated more frequently, because its root is relatively shallow, and in high temperature environment, the water will evaporate quickly.

3. Light: Pumpkin belongs to the light loving plant, especially in the flowering period, it should receive sufficient and warm sunshine. If the light is not enough, its quality will decline, and it will not grow ideal fruit. At the same time, if the light is not enough, there may be diseases and insect pests. In general, the light in summer is completely acceptable.

4. Fertilization: strong plants can grow in fertile soil. Before setting the value, sufficient base fertilizer is needed. Generally, organic fertilizer is the main fertilizer. During the growth of seedlings, some nitrogen fertilizer is needed to promote growth. During flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer are needed to be used together. In this way, nutrition balance can be achieved, and the fruit will have a more perfect effect.

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Propagation: sowing is the required mode of propagation, the best time is in spring and autumn, and summer is the most unsuitable. Spring needs to be between January and March, autumn is suitable to be between July and August.

2. Pruning: the spreading nature of pumpkin is relatively strong, so there will be a lot of lateral branches during the growth period, which will directly affect the quality of results, and it is necessary to prune these sprouted lateral branches regularly.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: bacterial leaf blight is the most common disease, which is mainly caused by bacteria. Therefore, carbendazim solution should be used to prevent and control it, and some diseased branches and leaves can also be cut off.

2. Insect damage: aphids will appear during flowering, which will reduce the number of flowering, and the yield will also be lost. Dichlorvos solution should be used for control.

4. Other issues

1. Toxicity: no toxicity, very high nutritional value, so it is suitable for large-scale cultivation.

2. Whether it can be raised at home: not suitable, because it can not meet the requirements of normal growth at home
