Bitter gourd is not advisable with water

At present, the topdressing method commonly used by vegetable farmers of bitter gourd is to apply with water. Although it is convenient and can apply fertilizer evenly into the soil, it is not advisable to use topdressing in this way. The reason is that the number of plantings of bitter melon is small, only 200 to 300 plants per acre, and only 3 to 6 plants per row. If the fertilizer is applied with water, the fertilizer utilization rate will be low and waste will be serious.

Therefore, remind the vegetable farmers: the bitter melon should be replaced by concentrated fertilization, such as digging the annular ditch fertilization, which can greatly improve the utilization of fertilizer. The specific method is to dig an annular groove 20 cm inside the bitter gourd plant, the depth of the ditch is 5 cm, and then apply 50 g of compound fertilizer or 80 g of biological fertilizer per ditch, and water the soil after ditching the ditch. You can also dig a half-meter-long strip-shaped groove 20 cm inside the bitter gourd plant, and apply the above amount of fertilizer to each ditch. The effect is also good. It should be noted that after each bitter gourd, it should be watered in time, so that the absorption effect is better.
