- 7. • Polybag sowing:Alternate of seedbed • Mixture of 50% decomposed cowdung or vermicompost and soil is to be filled in polybag. Prepare bag before 7 days of sowing. • Poly bag size: Width- 7.5cm, Height- 12-15cm • Keep 2 holes at the bottom of the bag. • Sow seeds at the depth of 3-4cm then apply light irrigation with cane. Cover bags with straw. Seeds will germinate within 5-7 days. Clear straws when you see germinated seedlings. Remember to keep bag moistened by applying water. • Then transfer seedling after 10-12 days to the hip. Cut bags and place 2-3 seedlings in every hips. Apply light irrigation on soil.
- 8. • Soil purification: •Furadan or Bioderma for safe cultivation
- 9. • Fertilization: • OF-at bed- 5 tons, in hip- 30kg/vermi-10 kg • Urea- • 1st Top dressed- after 20-25 days • 2nd top dressed- 40-45 days • TSP-Basal-120kg • MP-135kg, use K, if necessary. • Weeding, Fertilization should be done when necessary.
- 10. Life span: • 120-140days. After 60-70 days of germination tender fruits can be harvested. If you see the good vegetative growth, cut twigs with 5 leaves as leafy vegetable then fruit will appear soon.
- 11. Plant protection • IPM. •Bait: • Sticking • Pheromone trap • Insects- • Aphids-sucking: Malathion 57 EC at an interval of 15 days. • Fly- Lay eggs under bottle gourd fruit skin. Spray in evening for not prohibiting pollinations. • Desease: • Mildews-powdery – Thiovit 2gm/1 li, or Tilt- 0.5ml/1 li • and downy- Maquprax – see instructions.
