How to plant pumpkin seeds in open. How to grow a pumpkin correctly or why not all summer residents have a successful harvest. Pumpkin planting seedlings

If you have a small plot of land, and you have not decided what to plant on it, make sure to the pumpkin list. Caring for her is not complicated, and the crop is rich. And about how to plant a pumpkin in open ground I will tell in detail in this article.

Growing pumpkin - simple occupation

How to plant a pumpkin: Preparation of the site

If you are interested in the richest harvest, then you need to choose the right place to land. The ridge must be located in a warm place, on the sunny side. The soil can be any, but preferably sandy or sandy, such a soil is better warmed. It is best to sit after winter wheat, corn or perennial herbs. You can also choose the ridge after tomato, onions, potatoes, cabbage or carrots. It is not recommended to plant after cucumbers or patissons. It is impossible to plant in the same place, you need to wait 5 years after the previous landing.

Soil preparation for pumpkin landing

The landing land is prepared from the fall, for this you need to perform the following work:

Clean the Earth from the remains of plants.
Belt shallow hoe.
After 2-3 weeks, the Earth needs to be switched, while collecting weed roots.
In the spring, before landing, it is once again to plug, with the addition of nitrogen fertilizers, after which the ridge is leveling robbles.
High ridges are made. The hardest land, the higher the ridge. Standard ridge should be 1-1.5 meters wide, 25 centimeters in height. The width of the groove between the ridges should be about half a meter.

Making fertilizers before planting pumpkins in open ground

With the Pacoop of the Earth, they necessarily fertilize the soil. Pumpkin after landing begins to grow rapidly, for this you need a lot of nutrients. The best option for fertilizer is humus or manure. A bucket of manure or humus is made per square meter.

Pumpkin loves abundant manure fertilizer

With heavy soils to a depth of 10-15 centimeters, on the lungs - 15-20 centimeters. If you do not have the necessary number of manure, you can only put on the wells for seedlings - 1..2 kilogram per hole. In addition to manure, 20 grams of superphosphate and 10 grams of potassium sulfate are added. Or use complex fertilizers, on a tablespoon on a plant.

Planting pumpkin seeds

For a large plot need a seeder. To do this, use Bakhchy Seeders of SBT-3 and SBU-2-4. At the first seeder, seed landing in 2-3 rows, with an interval of 140 or 180 centimeters. For the small gardens, they will not fit, have to plant seeds into manual.

Important: Landing seeds is performed only in early pumpkin grades, such as nutmess and hard. The remaining varieties are planted only through seedlings.

How to put a pumpkin

If you are interested in a good harvest, you need to choose full-fledged seeds. To select the best seeds to prepare salted water, in which the sowing material is lowered, the emerging seeds are rejected. The rest are collected, washed and dried.

Pumpkin seeds are stored up to four years

The duration of storing seeds reaches up to 4 years. For better shoot and healthy crop, you need to conduct preparatory activities:

Heating. This process will give good shoots, is done at 60 degrees, within 2-3 hours.
Quenching. The plant should stand the temperature differences, for this, the seeds for two days are kept at a temperature of +1 degrees.
Increased disease resistance. Diseases may damage not yet faster shoots, and so that this does not happen seeds are treated with a solution of manganese, kumat of potassium or wood ash, infused in water.
Seeding. For this, they are wrapped in wet marla, in a couple of days the first sprouts will appear.

Of all the melting crops, the pumpkin is the most resistant to cold, so it is sacred in the late spring, when the possibility of frosts is excluded. If you hurry and plant early, then the seeds in cold ground are simply rotated, so it is planted when the soil temperature reaches +13 degrees. For one plant you need 1-4 sq. M. soil, for nutrition.

Please note: for early varieties, the area may be less - for later more, so the distance between the plants is very important.

For long-carrying varieties, it is necessary to leave the distance between the wells of 1.5-2 meters, and between the rows also up to 2 meters. The bush grades are planted in a square of 80 at 80 centimeters. On the light soils, the landing depth must be 5-8 centimeters, on a heavy 4-5 centimeter. One hole is placed from 2-5 seeds, at a distance of three centimeters from each other.

Pumpkin need to be planted from each other

Pumpkin landing through seedlings

This method is chosen for late satisfaction with the growing season of 120-140 days. For this, seeds germinate in April or early May. The main thing is to calculate the dates of planting so that the monthly seedlings are already planted into the ground.

Pumpkin planting to seedlings are made in peat pots or cassettes

For planting seedlings, peat pots are purchased, a diameter of 15 centimeters and filled with soil. Earth can be purchased ready or prepare it yourself. For this, they take 4 parts by humus and mix with one part of the turf soil. Prepared soil feats, the bucket will require 4 grams of ammonium nitrate, 4 grams of potash salt, 5 grams of superphosphate. The resulting mixture is moisturized and stirred. Seeds are sown to a depth of two centimeters and covered with a film. The germination temperature should be + 18..25 degrees, after the appearance of the first sprouts, the film is removed, and the temperature decreases to + 15..20 degrees. For this, the room is simply ventilated, if it is not to do that seedlings simply stretch. Watering also not to be done often in order not to get a raised seedlings.

Important: The first feeding is performed a week after the appearance of sprouts. The second is produced before landing, for this any comprehensive fertilizer will suit.

Planting seedlings in open soil is produced with warm weather, during freezing you simply lose seedlings. The landing scheme is the same as when landing seeds. The wells are digged in large to plant along with lumps of land. The wells before planting spill around with hot water. The seedlings are plundered before the leaves, it will make it possible to form additional roots. After landing, seedlings should be pouring.

In the middle strip of Russia and in other territories with similar climates, pumpkin varieties are grown: large-scale and hard screw. A nutmeg pumpkin is growing in the southern regions. Sometimes there is a pumpkin-rustle. The cultivation of pumpkin in the open soil is not such a complex process, which inexperienced gardeners are.

Pumpkin - a well-known annual plant having a powerful root system, wide leaves, long durable stems. The rod root can penetrate the depth of the soil for three meters, and the side roots apply to the territory to four meters, in search of moisture and nutrition.

The stalk at the plant "crawls" from the foundation of more than seven meters. Pumpkin has large flowers of yellow or yellow-orange color, which are located alone (separation plant). On the main stem, starting from the tenth leaf, the fruits are formed.

What Pumpkin loves

Pumpkin loves heat, does not tolerate cold combined with dampness.

Important! The temperature that is necessary for pumpkin seeds for germination is to + 30 ° C. With lower, they will germinate very long and slowly. And with less than + 10 ° C, they will not take place at all.

The entire growing season for pumpkin passes at an optimal temperature of + 25 ° C. In this case, it increases orange saturated color, fragrant, dense, juicy, and a wide sheet apparatus (up to 40 m² per plant).

Pumpkin loves moisture, without a sufficient number of which are not formed as large fruit. If at the beginning of the flowering of the pumpkin, the drought has suffered, the flowers can fall, and the ovary is not formed.

Pumpkin - light-minded culture. It must be grown on solar and windless sites (perfectly - Bakhcha).

How to grow pumpkin from seeds

For the cultivation of pumpkins is easiest to use the traditional seed sowing method. Only seeds for sowing must be prepared.

It all begins with the selection of seed raw materials. Take only the largest seeds of selected quality. Thin, affected, dry, not complete need to be rebeling. Calibrated seeds begin to prepare for sowing.

Preparation of seeds

The best way to prepare for sowing pumpkin seeds is their germination. This process is continued until the seeds are prohibited. For the extension of pumpkin seeds, the pumpkin is lowered into the water with a stable temperature of + 40 ° C (permissible to + 50 ° C, it is impossible below forty). In such a state, seeds should spend at least three hours.

Tip! How to achieve such a temperature? Put a flame with germinated seeds on a battery or other heating device, put in a yogurney or a multicooker in yogurt mode.

Then the swollen seeds wrap in well-humidized cotton fabric and leave at the temperature of the residential room before sliding. The fabric must be checked all the time and moisturize again so that the seeds are not dried.

Since pumpkin is a thermal-loving plant, it is recommended, especially in the average climatic zone, to increase the cold resistance of seeds before extinguishing. To do this, after sliding, they need to continue to keep in wet fabric, but already in the lower box of the refrigerator, from three to five days.

Due to the heat-lobility, you should not suck the seeds into open ground, first it is better to grow pumpkin seedlings.

Growing Pumpkin Seedlings

Seedlings are needed in order to get a crop abundant and early. And also to the proceeding seeds do not died from the cold, if sowing is carried out at a time when cooling is still possible. The seedlings do not necessarily grow at home - it can be done in a special seatingman or mini-guy. But it is best, "under the supervision", grow pumpkin seedlings on the southern windowsill of the apartment. At room temperature, which is still closer to the expected pumpkin + 30 ° C, the temperature in the spring greenhouse, the process will go faster and better.

Important! Despite the powerful and strong look, pumpkin seedlings poorly tolerate a transplant. Therefore, it is better to grow seedlings in peat pots.

For cultivation of seedlings, there will be a peat-proof or conventional potted pots with no member 10x10 cm in an amount of two times less than the number of seeds. You do not need to try to grow "Pumpkin Forest", remember the power area of \u200b\u200b40 m², which pumpkin can be covered. Two plants, with fairly spacious placement, large amounts of heat and moisture, with regular feeders will give a larger in the amount and size of the crop of fruits than ten located on the same space.

Important! Pumpkin seedlings should spend at home or in greenhouse before disembarking in a soil at least three weeks. Therefore, seeds are sown, based on this calendar.

Soil for seedlings

Pumpkin seeds are sized into the usual fertile seaside soil consisting of peat and sand. No special additives are required. Fertilizers do not need to enter the ground either. If you grow seeds in peat pots, just fill them with soil. When growing in plastic container, pour 3 cm wood sawdust at the bottom.

Sowing seeds

Grashed in the way described above and hardened seeds are sown in a pot. Later, a weak sighter can be removed, simply inspiring the stem. Sowing depth - 2 cm. Fucking seeds peat. Before sowing and after watering is carried out.

During the first three days after sowing, the temperature should be + 25 ° C ... + 30 ° C.

Survey care

Shoots should appear on the fourth day. After that, the temperature needs to be reduced and maintaining within + 18 ° C ... + 25 ° C for a week, then reducing again to the indicators + 15 ° C ... + 18 ° C. It is necessary that pumpkin seedlings do not stretch, grow styled and squat .

Watering shoots is carried out regularly, but it should not be redundant. Stagnation is prohibited. The perfect moisturizing of the soil and humidity will contribute to the formation of rolling and abundantly fructating pumpkin plants.

Two weeks after germination, feeding is carried out. For this, the korovyan needs to be divorced in the proportion of 1:10 with water and pour into each pot, or for each plant in the greenhouse in 100 ml of the nutrient solution after irrigation. If there is no cowboy, the feeding is carried out by nitroposka according to the instructions.

Readiness and disembarkation

Properly grown seedlings as follows:

low stem, thick and strong;
short crosslies;
three well-developed real sheets having a rich green color.

In this state, the seedlings of the pumpkin can be seeded on the 22nd day after sowing germinated seeds to plant to plant in an open ground for temporary film shelter.

Before boarding the wells are watered with hot water. If the seedlings are in a peat radical container, it does not need to be removed, only slightly destroy the walls and the bottom of the pot.

After planting the plants are watered with warm water and protected by film shelter before the onset of steadily warm weather.

Soils suitable for growing pumpkin

This plant is most suitable for fertile soil, having a sufficiently loose structure, well warmed. It is on such land that the pumpkin fruits achieved record sizes.

Important! Worst of all pumpkin will grow on raw and clay soil. Sour soil plants are not suitable categorically - they must be treated with lime (lime under the predecessor) or add wood ash.

When growing pumpkin on the summer site, try to observe the following requirements.

Locked on the south side of the house along the wall or fence. The structure and fence will protect from the wind in the afternoon and will give plants accumulated in the day warm at night.
Pumpkin's holidays may well be directed to the wall of the house, the fence, the roof of the barn. Closer to the sun fruit cause better.
If there is a compost pile on the site from the south side, pumpkin is perfectly planted near her, sending a vacuum there.

Preparation of soil

To successfully grow a pumpkin, from the fall, removing the precursors, it is necessary to begin the preparation of the soil.

Plot the organic and mineral feeding (5 kg of humoring, 15 g of potassium chloride and twice the superphosphate per m²). If there is no humoring, it can be made from autumn to 7 kg per m².
Switching a plot of 20 cm deep into the depth.
To facilitate the structure of the soil, if necessary, make river sand (large grain) and peat.
Take the soil of wood ash.
Bare, if possible, mix, pour hot water.

In the spring, the upper soil layer is not needed to flock, it is enough to remove the weeds that appeared and to dissolve the plot of robbles. In this state of the soil should be from March to May - the time of disembarking pumpkin seedlings.

Two days before the disembarking of grumbling seedlings, the soil should be swapped at 12 cm (half the bayonet shovel), to make an ammonary nitrate - 20 g per m² and make the wells.

On the light-structural soil, the wells can be shallow - up to 25 cm. If the soil is heavy, the depth of the wells should reach 40 cm. A little compost and a layer of dry leaves are stacked.

The distance between the plants on the usual garden is made around the meter. If possible, it can be doubled.

Pumpkin predecessors

This question is relevant, since culture is demanding about predecessors.

Pumpkin care

Pumpkin does not need thrill and specialized care, but there are some events to neglect which one should not if you want to get a large crop of large fruits.

Watering

The main leaving event is to adjust the polishes. Pumpkin, as a pump, pumps all moisture out of the ground, and then evaporates it through the leaves. Thus, the roots and stems get a little. Therefore, the level of moisture in the soil constantly needs to be filled.

Tip! Especially abundantly need to water the pumpkin when it comes to mass flowering and fruit formation. The temperature of the water should be no lower than + 20 ° С (dried in the sun). In no case cannot water the pumpkin with cold water in the heat - plants may die.

After irrigation, it is necessary to carry out soil loosening near the base of the stem. As weeds grew up.

Podkord

You need to feed the pumpkin often, otherwise there will be no major fruit. The first feeding in the open soil - after the formation of the fifth sheet. The second - when the screasts begin to form. Then - every two weeks.

It is possible to feed the nitroposka, starting with 10 g per plant and increasing with each feeding dose for 5 granuits, you can make dry granules or prepare a solution.

During the period of fruiting, each feeding is added to the ash glass.

You can feed the pumpkin throughout the entire season of vegetation with a cowbank solution.

The plant is formed in one stem, in extreme cases, two - it contributes to high yield. For this, after the appearance of unnecessary shoots from the sides, everything is removed, also plunder and excessive wounds, leaving no more than three on each shoulder.

By the way! On the shoots of the second order of the pumpkin, the fruits can be given after the second sheet, but they will grow small and tasteless, so it is worth practicing the plants to engage in the plants.

Powder

Another agrotechnical reception, contributing to the yield, is the powder of a row. As soon as the screens reached a meter length, they need to be accurately unraveling, put in a given direction and sprinkle the earth in two to three places. This is done so that the wind does not break the wolf and leaves, breaking the marrow. But the main thing is in the interstices pressed against the Earth, additional roots are formed, which will feed the plants and contribute to an increase in fruits.

A few more tricks

The scourge climbing or roof must be controlled. When pumpkins begin to ripen, inspire them, placing them in ordinary autosky mesh and securing on additional fasteners. Otherwise, heavy fruits will be touched down, swallowing stems.
It is undesirable, especially in crude weather so that the fruits lay on bare earth. When they reach a medium size, put a plank or another "breathable" material.

Plant pumpkin ordinary (Lat. Cucurbita PEPO) - The type of grassy annual pumpkin of the pumpkin of the Pumpkin family, which belong to the muddle cultures. Motherland Plants - Mexico. In the Ohak Valley, it grows at least 8,000 years. Even before, the pumpkin was distributed in North America through the valleys of Missouri and Mississippi. Spanish sailors in the XVI century, and since then, it has been widely cultivated not only in Europe, but also in Asia. Pumpkin growing records are China, India and Russia. Pumpkin vegetable is not only delicious, but also useful, and the benefit of the plant, containing rare vitamin T, and pumpkin seeds, but oil from which is a restoring and anti-inflammatory agent of allergies, bring the benefit.

In this article, we will tell you how the cultivation of the pumpkin seedlings are being taken when to plant a pumpkin into an open ground, how to water the pumpkin, than to treat pumpkin from diseases and pests than to fertilize the pumpkin than pumpkin sick, and share other important information that will allow you without oscillations to start cultivating this tasty and useful plant.

Landing: Sowing seed into the ground - when the soil at a depth of 7-8 cm warms up to 12-13 ˚C; Sowing seeds to seedlings - in April or early May, the seedling seedlings in open ground - at the end of May or in early June.
The soil: Any, but better fertile, pre-stunned with organic and mineral fertilizers.
Watering: After planting seedlings - daily, until the seedlings are rooted, then intense, until the fist is achieved. In the season with a normal amount of precipitation, you can not water at all. When the fruits begin to gain a mass, gradually increase water consumption to 1 bucket per 1 adult plant.
Feeding: The 1st is a solution of chicken litter or a cow in a week after planting seedlings, then 3-4 organic feeders are carried out every month.
Reproduction: Seed ever and reckless way.
Pests: Bahch wave, pins (or white chocks), wires, slugs.
Diseases: Bela Rota, anthracnose, ascohithosis, mildew and black mold.

Details about the cultivation of pumpkin Read below

Pumpkin Vegetable - Description

The root of the pumpkin is a branched, rod, pinching, pentoral, grungy stem with barbed inmovation reaches a length of 5-8 meters.

Single-sex flowers, large, single, orange or yellow. Women's flowers on short flowers, and men's long bloom in June or July and pollinated cross. The fruit is fleshy, large, oval or spherical false Yagoda-Thakivna with a large number of seeds, maturing in the late summer or early autumn. Pumpkin seeds Creamo-white, from 1 to 3 cm long, with a protruding rim along the edge and a wooded outer sheath.

Growing pumpkin from seeds

Sowing Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin is grown out of seeds, using a repentable and reckless way, however, cultivating such a variety, like a nutmeg pumpkin, suggests an exclusively seeding method of reproduction. Sowing pumpkin seed into the ground is produced no earlier than the soil at a depth of 7-8 cm warms up to a temperature of 12-13 ºC. The cultivation of pumpkin in the open ground begins with pre-sowing treatment of the site and sowing material.

Seeds before planting warm up 9-10 hours at a temperature of 40 ºC, then immerse them in half into an asset solution (in 1 liters of boiling water is diluted when stirring 2 tablespoons of wood ash), in order to facilitate the germing through the dense peel. Seeds warm in the oven, then wrap them in several layers of gauze, richly moistened with an ash solution. You can, of course, do not do anything, but then the ripening time of the pumpkin increases, and if you live in a terrain with a short and non-sucking summer, then your pumpkin without pre-sowing seed processing will not have time to mature to frost.

Before planting a pumpkin (about how to prepare a plot for a pumpkin, we will tell a little later), there are a number of rows on the garden and make a hole in them with a diameter of 30 cm. If the winter was honest and the earth on the dry plot, in each well poured on one and a half or two liters of water with a temperature of 50 ºC, and when it is absorbed, planting 2-3 seeds, but not in a bunch, but lay them at a distance from each other, blocking by 5-6 cm, if the soil is a medium tronework, and on 8-10 cm if the soil is light. Seeds fall asleep with fertile land, and the plot is mulched by peat crumb or humus.

There are no less than 2 m between the rows, and there is at least a meter between the wells in the row. Make holes better in checker. To speed up the appearance of germs, they throw the film on the crops, sprinkling its edges of the earth.

When shoots appear, it happens under normal conditions in a week, remove the film, wait for the seedlings to operate 2 of the present leaflet on seedlings, and sprinkle them: leave no more than 2 plants in each well, do not pull the rest, but simply cut at the ground level, In order not to injure the root system of the remaining seedlings. If you are still afraid of frosts, install a wire frame on the plot and threw the film on it.

Growing Pumpkin Seedlings

The planting of pumpkin on the seedlings is carried out 15-20 days before the seedlings landing in open ground. Included after pre-sowing processing of pumpkin seeds one by one decompose into plastic or peat pots with a diameter of 10-15 cm, half filled with soil from two parts by a humor, one piece of the turf and one part of the peat. Seeds are covered with the same soil, but with the addition of a five percent solution of a cowboy and 10-15 g of wood ash. Sowing moisturizes, after which the pots are covered with a film.

How to grow pumpkin seedlings And prevent it from pulling out, what often happens to seedlings at home? Pumpkin seeding assumes the content of sowing with good lighting, excluding direct sunlight on them, and at a temperature of 20-25 ºC, and when shoots appear, such a temperature regime will be set: during the day there should be 15-20 ºC, and at night - 12-13 ºC. If, nevertheless, some seedlings stretched out, after a week-to-one and a half, the submissible plot of such a seedlings roll up with a ring and fall asleep with wet soil along the seedy leaves.

Pour sowing moderately, not allowing the substrate convergence. Two times for the eve of the seedlings receive a comprehensive feeder. The fertilizer for pumpkins is prepared according to such a recipe: in 10 liters of water, 1 l cowboat, 17 g of ammonium sulphate, 15 g of potassium sulphate and 20 g of superphosphate are breed. Consumption - by half-liter solution on one sighter. Before falling into an open ground, the seedlings are made on the veranda or balcony and conduct hardware procedures, opening the window for an hour or more, and gradually for a longer time so that the plants get used to the environment in which they will soon be. A couple of days before planting in the ground, the window stops to close at all.

Picking Pumpkin

To the question, how to dive pumpkin, answer: pumpkin to dive contraindicated, because it is very easy to damage the seedlings root system. That is why it is recommended to sow pumpkin seeds in individual pots.

Pumpkin planting in open ground

When to plant a pumpkin into the ground

Pumpkin planting in the soil is carried out with the onset of stable warm weather. This is usually happening at the end of May or beginning of June. Pumpkin - Bakhchevaya culture, it means that she needs a lot of sun, so choose to land the pumpkin southern plot. The optimal temperature for the growth of pumpkin is 25 ºC, and if the temperature drops to 14 ºC, the growth of the plant stops. A pumpkin grows well in the plots, where the Siderats, onions, cabbage, carrots, beets, soy, peas, beans, beans, lentils or peanut grew up last year. Potatoes, sunflower, cucumber, zucchini, patisson, watermelon, melon and pumpkin are considered bad predecessors.

Soil for pumpkin

Pumpkin grows on any soils, however, it can mature large and sweet only on fertile soil. Plot for pumpkin is prepared from autumn: dripping, bringing into a non-fermentation soil for one m² 3-5 kg \u200b\u200bof compost or manure, into heavy or sour 200-300 g of ashes or lime, and in any soil in 25-30 g of phosphate and 15-20 g of potash fertilizer. In the spring, after snow comes down, in order to avoid drying the soil they are harrowing, then slightly loose and cleaned from weeds, and in front of the seedlings or sowing seeds are drunk to a depth of 12-18 cm. If for some reason you haven't managed to prepare a plot with Autumn, put the fertilizer at the time of landing in each dyed under the sighter of the well.

Growing pumpkin in greenhouse

Pumpkin was rarely grown to the greenhouse. More often, the greenhouse is used to grow pumpkin seedlings, which is still planted in an open ground. Pumpkin planting in the greenhouse is carried out one seed in peat pots of 10x10 in size to avoid picking that pumpkin seedlings are heavier. As long as the seeds do not go, the temperature in the greenhouse should be 26 ºC, and from the moment of the appearance of sections, it is reduced to 19 ºC for a week, and then returned to the previous temperature regime. Two weeks after the appearance of the first sprouts, the seedlings fertilize a cow.

Water seedlings as needed, but abundantly: The land with an average humidity indicator should be loose. It is planted in open soil seedlings 4 weeks after the first germination appears.

How to plant pumpkin in open ground

How to place a pumpkin on a garden, we have already written, but the wells for seedlings make a little deeper than when sowing seeds: they must fully accommodate the root system of seedlings at a depth of 8-10 cm. If you are not equipped with a plot from autumn, note that when landing In each well, it is necessary to add by half a rocker or compost, 50 g of superphosphate and 2 glasses of ash, thoroughly mixing fertilizers with soil. Here, based on this, and calculate the depth of the wells for seedlings.

Sweep the wells with one or two liters of hot water, let her absorb, and then pass from the pot of Pumpkin's sighter along with the root room, fill the emptiness with the soil, tightly ramming it. After planting, the plot is mounted with peat or fall asleep dry ground to prevent the formation on the surface of the soil of peel.

Pumpkin care

How to grow pumpkou

After planting seedlings, care for them is thinning, watering, weeding, feeding and, if necessary, in artificial dose, for which no later than 11 o'clock in the morning, a couple of men's flowers are broken, tear the petals and anthers of both flowers on them several times cautiously touched Female flower leaving the last of male flowers on a female stitch. This measure is necessary in case of incomplete fertilization of the barriers, which may entail the formation of Thavor of the wrong shape.

Watering pumpkins

Only landed seedlings are watered daily until they come down. After that, the soil moisturizes as close as possible until the ovary will become the magnitude of the fist. If summer with rains, then stop watering at all. When the fruits begin to gain a mass, the moisturizing of the pumpkin beds renew and gradually bring the water consumption rate to one bucket for one adult plant.

Ruffle soil

After watering or rain it is very convenient to loosen around plants soil and clean it from weed grass. The first loosening at a depth of 6-8 cm should be carried out with the appearance of shoots. The aisle to the depth of 12-18 cm is better to loose before irrigating so that the water penetrates the roots faster. During loosenings, slightly glue the plants, giving them stability.

Development of seedlings

If you sowed seeds right into the ground, when forming two real leaves, you need to break them, leaving in one well of a hard screw or a nutmeg pumpkin in two sprouts, and large-way - one by one. The second thinning is carried out in the formation of 3-4 leaves from seedlings. But we remind: no need to pull extra seedlings, as you can damage the root system of those shoots that decided to leave. Just cut the unnecessary seeding at the level of the surface of the soil.

Pumpkin feeding

The first feeding by diluted water with chicken litter or manure in the 1: 4 ratio is carried out a week after the seedlings falling down or three weeks after sowing in the soil seeds. The frequency of such organic feeding is 3-4 times a month. The pumpkin reacts to the feeder with a solution of 10 liters of water 40-50 g of a garden mixture at the rate of one bucket of 10 plants. An excellent fertilizer is the solution of a glass of wood ash in 10 liters of water. To make the first feeding, make around plants at a distance of 10-12 cm of grooves depth 6-8 cm and pour the solution into them. For further feeding, the grooves make a depth of 10-12 cm, having them 40 cm from the plants. After making fertilizers, the furrows close up the Earth.

If it happens that a long time will be overcast, spray the pumpkin with a solution of 10 g of urea in 10 liters of water.

Pests or pumpkin diseases

Pumpkin can be sick with fungal diseases of black mold, milderous dew, rotten, ascohitosis and anthraznosis.

Black mold. It is manifested by yellow-brown spots between the leaf veins, which, with the course of the disease, are covered with a dark rode with mushroom spores. After the stains dry out, holes are formed in their place. Young scratches are wrinkled and cease to develop.

For ascohithiosis On the leaves, stems and in the knots of shoots, large yellow-brown spots are first form, then light spots with chlorotic edge covered with black picnides containing the body of the pathogenic mushroom. Pumpkin dries and dies.

Puffy dew - The real Beach of the gardens and gardens, the symptoms of which look like a thick whitish raid, similar to a wake-up flour, which contains the arms of the mushroom. The leaf-affected leaving the leaves will dry, the fruits are deformed and cease to develop. This disease is active in the conditions of a sharp fluctuation of air humidity and temperature.

Anthracnose Manifested by large watery yellowish spots on the leaves. In wet weather, leaf vessels covers a pink raid. Gradually, pink spots spread over the leaves, stiffs, stems and fruits, the afflicted places are black for autumn. The most dangerous anthracnose with high humidity.

White Rot Developing on all parts of the plant, causing damage to the root system, drying fruit stems and reduced crop. Pumpkin turns yellow, boil, covered with a flake mold flask. A mucus may appear on the stems. Gray rot is manifested by brown blurry spots that quickly merging with each other and striking all the plant. The wet bacterial rot may appear as a result of damage to the slugs or pins of uncerties and young fruits in too thick landings.

From the insects, pumpkin is striking the mudflow, pins, or white chops, wires and slugs.

Slug Objective leaves of plants, leaving sometimes only a grid of veins from them. Especially a lot of them happen in the rainy seasons. In addition, they are able to live and harming plants for several years.

Bahch wane Hurts shoots, flowers, wounds and the bottom side of the leaves, from which they twist and shuffle.

Pillies - The smallest white insects with a cylindrical body up to 2 mm long, feed on seeds and underground parts of plants. The greatest harm of the pins bring plants into cold wet weather.

Wirefront - The larvae oguknov beetles, cutting the root neck of young seedlings, leading to the death of plants. Most of all the wires love to accumulate in wet shorts.

The fight against pumpkin disease is carried out in fact and prophylactically, which is undoubtedly preferable, since the disease is much easier to prevent than to cure. In order to protect the pumpkin Bachch from fungal diseases, you need to abide by the crop rotation, perform agrotechnical requirements, it is responsible to relate to each type of work, and especially for pre-sowing seed processing. At the first signs of the disease, spray the plants and a plot with one-thread bordeaux liquid or other fungicide. And try to make the mandatory spring and autumn treatments of Bakhchi Phitosporin - it will help you avoid many unpleasant surprises.

Slugs will have to assemble or arrange beer traps to themselves or arrange the beer traps: to place on the site of a pot with beer and from time to time to collect shut-off on its smell of mollusks. The wires also catch a bait in different places in different places of the pits with a depth of 50 cm, squeezing the roots chopped into pieces of roots - carrots or beets - and cover the pit with boards, wooden shields or rubberoid. Through the time the traps are checked and destroying the wiringrs gathered there. With the phenomena fight when the soil around the plants wood ash. Tar is destroyed by phosphamide, carbofos or a solution of 300 g of soap in 10 liters of water.

And yet we will remind you that the diseases and pests, as a rule, are striking the weak and unclean plants, so observe the crop rotation, perform agrotechnical requirements, carefully take care of your plants, and you do not have to treat them and save them.

Collection and storage of pumpkin

Harvesting is usually carried out when plants reach biological maturity, but before collecting a pumpkin, make sure that it is really ripe. The faithful sign of maturity is a drying and testing of the fruits in hard screw pumpkins, and a clear drawing on the hardened crust in varieties of large-scale and nutmeg pumpkin. It is necessary to remove the harvest in dry weather, after the first frost, which will kill the leaves of the pumpkin. The fruits are cut with a fruit, sort by quality and size. Act so carefully as if you are dealing with eggs.

The misappropriate or damaged fruits will have to be recycled, and those that are intended for long-term storage, dry in the sun or in a dry warm room with good ventilation within two weeks so that the fruits are led, and the bark finally hardened. After that, the pumpkin can be stored.

To the frosts of the pumpkin can be on the balcony, loggia or in a dry barn, covered with straw or rag, but when the temperature drops to 5 ºC, the pumpkin is transferred to the residential premises and kept in a warm, dry place with a temperature not lower than 14 ºC - so it needs to be stored The first two weeks, and then it is necessary to find a place for pumpkin with a temperature of 3-8 ºC and air humidity 60-70%, where it will lie until spring, or even before the new harvest. Dry sheds, attic or basement are suitable for this. With a higher storage temperature, for example, 15-20 ºC, pumpkin loses about 20% of the weight and can be subjected to rotting.

If the crop is too big, you can store a pumpkin on racks, putting on the shelves of a straw and putting the fruits into one row so that they do not come into contact. Or fold them into boxes, moving dry moss. The obligatory demand for the repository is good air ventilation.

You can store a pumpkin in the garden, in a trench, lying along the bottom and walls of a layer of straw with a thickness of 25 cm. When frosts come, the trench with a pumpkin throw the earth, leaving the ventilation holes in it, which are closed into severe frosts, and during thaws open.

If the harvest is modest, it can be stored in an apartment or in the house, in a dark place so that the seeds do not sprout and the pulp did not acquire a bitter taste. Rezanny pumpkin is stored only in the refrigerator.

Pumpkin seeds are large, with a dense shell (but there is also a galaxy pumpkin). You can soak them in warm water before sowing (not lower than 20 degrees). As soon as they proceed, immediately sow on the edge into the prepared, moistened soil, blocking 5-6 cm, compact, cover the film until shoots appear. Pumpkin seeds will go up in a week at a soil temperature of about 20 degrees. If the soil temperature is below 15-16 degrees, the pumpkin will not go.

With the advent of the cover of shoots, the film must be removed. Plants require a lot of light and warm. The best temperature for growth and development of plants is 22-25 degrees. Immediately after the deployment of the seedy leaves, the seedlings should be given a weekly feeding, the best fertilizer "Uniflor-growth" or "", just like the seedlings of cucumbers.

If the seedy leaves are twisted or there is a rusty yellow-brown spot (bacteriosis), the seedlings need to be discarded and throwing away, leaving only the best copies with beautiful, the right form by semi-deeds. Pouring should be done very moderate and necessarily warm water, not less than 20-25 degrees. .

Transplant seedlings pumpkins

Lined seedlings of pumpkins

The transplant to the place should be made no later than 20-25 days after the appearance of germs. Before transplantation, the plants are well water and plant along with a lump of land in the prepared hole. Before transferring seedlings to the garden, a bucket of overwhelmed manure or compost should be made (more detail), to move to a depth of 12-15 cm, to make a hole, to make 2 glasses of ash, add 2 tbsp. Spoons of superphosphate and pour 5-8 liters of water. After the planting of seedlings, pour the soil around the plant to seedly leaves, slightly hide so that the soil beds connect with the soil seedlings (do not crimp the seedlings). Soil under landings to climb (you can simply cover the soil with a newspaper). Do not watered for 2 weeks. Penate for 4-5 days, covering seedlings with caps from the newspaper. If your seedlings have grown and has 3-4 real sheets, then when the bottom sheet is transplant. If there is cold weather, then cover the seedlings spunbond directly on the newspaper caps.

You can sow pumpkin on the dry seeds prepared in advance after the threat of spring frost passes. At the same time, the soil should warm up to 15-16 degrees at a depth of 6-8 cm. In the north-west, for example, it will be after June 10th. It is possible to sow much earlier, for example, May 10-15, but it is necessary to pre-insulate the soil and cover the seeds of the film. As a heater, you can use an old coat or pixel, blanket or any unnecessary clothing, if possible, not synthetic. Textile trash burst under the garden at a depth of 40-50 cm. From above bring a rich organic soil.

In the photo Pumpkin Seeds during landing

You can, from autumn, pull the trenches to the depth of two bayonies of shovels and fill them with vegetable residues, executed weeds that fell by leaves, can be. By the spring, this whole mass is falling, it is necessary to add fertile soil to completely fill the trenches.

The trenches can be digging in the spring, but only one bayonet shovels, and fill them with dry hay or leaves completely, to put the soil dug out from trenches, seal, pour, cover the film on 10 days. As soon as the soil warms up to 15-16 degrees, seeds can be heated.

When sow pumpkin

Sprout on compost

It is even better to sow a pumpkin on the last year's compost heap located in the sun, making in it the deepening of the magnitude of the bucket. Pour in the deepening by half a rift of reworked manure or compost, add 3 tbsp. Spoons of azophoski, adding 1 tbsp. A spoonful of potash inhabitant fertilizer (or make a glass of ash and 1 tbsp. A spoonful of superphosphate), pour off the half-water of warm water and sow to a depth of 5-6 cm. Pumpkin seeds - 2 seeds in the well. Instead of azophoski, you can make a hole when landing 1 tsp. Spoon of the AVA fertilizer powder fraction. Cover the whole bunch of old film.

It is possible to sow very early. In the North-West, for example, this can be done in the first days of May. A compost bunch of seeds will start over and give heat to the roots of pumpkins; The plant will begin to develop rapidly. As soon as the plants grow to the film, it is necessary to cut holes in it and release them upstairs, pour the soil to seedy leaves. If still cold weather is (temperatures below 16-18 degrees) or the threat of night frosts is preserved, it is necessary to put arcs over plants and cover them with double spunbond. It is not recommended to cover the arcs of the film, because with a strong day heat, the plants can be "burning" under the film.

When landing on a compost pile for all summer, neither feeding, no watering, except for a long drought. In this case, water is poured under each plant from the kettle into the hole in the film. Film with a heap does not remove all summer. With this method of growing a pumpkin, you will not give you any trouble.

Pumpkin sprouts

When planting a pumpkin, a rather large power area is needed - the distance between plants is 1.2-1.5 m. The most interesting method of growing pumpkins. In winter, the peel from pumpkins and zucchini, as well as skins from bananas and peel of vegetables and fruits, potato cleaning is dried on steam heating batteries and gradually fold into open paper bags and stored until spring. Early in the spring, as soon as the soil fell out on the solar sublime places on the site, dig out a shallow pits with a size of 30 x 30 x 30 cm and all these dried cleaning are poured there. From above, poured dry soil harvested in autumn (layer of 15-20 cm) and covered with a black film. In early May, the film is removed and planting seeds (or seedlings) pumpkins and zucchini. Landing covered with double loaf. From above put film shelter. All shelters take off as soon as spring frosts end. No feeding and watering plants are not required all summer.

As a rule, pumpkin, like cucumbers, immediately plant in the ground. However, if you want to get an earlier harvest and / or decided to be reinsured, because We live in a rather cool region with a short summer, you can initially sow seeds to seedlings.

About when and how to put a pumpkin to seedlings and grow in the home conditions - read further in the article.

Choosing pumpkin seeds, you should not pay attention to the picture on the package. Orange and smooth in kind of fruit is not the best and necessarily sweet.

Tip! Do not choose the largest varieties.

This is explained by the fact that at once the whole fruit is difficult to use somewhere, and after you can raise it, the problem of software will arise. In addition, pumpkin varieties of small sizes are better stored and possess, as a rule, a sweetering taste.

In general, pumpkins exist in the following types and varieties:

The most delicious are nutmeg varieties, but they are the warmest and relaxed and late.

Also, high solid varieties have excellent taste. They have the earliest time of maturation.

Large varieties are also very sweet and cold-resistant.

Dates of planting pumpkins: when to plant seeds on seedlings and in open ground

Plant pumpkins at seedlings should be 20-30 days before the expected date of landing in open ground.

The optimal age seedlings of pumpkin for landing in the ground - 20-25 days from the moment of seedlings (5-10 days - the stock for germination of seeds).

Accordingly, the optimal duration of the sowing of pumpkin on seedlings is the mid-end of April or even the beginning of May, depending on the region of residence and its climatic zone.

Naturally, in the middle lane (Moscow region), this can be done earlier than in the Urals or in Siberia, as well as in the North-West (in the Leningrad region).

In the south of Russia, they usually plant immediately into the ground, but if you decide to grow seedlings first, it is possible to sow at the end of March.

Preparation of pumpkin seeds for landing

"From a bad seed, do not expect a good tribe."

Before planting, pumpkin seeds should be thoroughly selected (spend calibration), throwing all damaged and cuttings, leaving only the most large and plump.

Further, the seeds should be checked for their suitability for sowing (vitality): pour out in a capacity with water for 3-4 hours. Seeds that drown, can be planted, and those that will remain swimming on the surface, it is better to throw out (they are light and empty).

Video: Verification of pumpkin seeds on fitness to landing

Pumpkin seed preparation and processing can be carried out in different ways:

Soak in a damp cloth in ordinary hot water (50-55 degrees) within 1-2 hours.

And even better in one of the growth stimulants of the epin or zircon type. In them, you can also germinate.

Disinfection, holding about 20-30 minutes in a dark pink solution of manganese (1%, i.e. 1 mg per 1 liter of water), and even better in solution. At the end of time, rinse under clear water and dried to the emergence of the necessary flowability.

Tip! In addition to soaking, you can also conduct an ordering procedure. To do this, you need to wrap the seeds into wet marla and remove in the refrigerator for 10-12 hours. Then get and put in heat for 10-12 hours. So repeat for 3-4 times (3-4 days), in other words, to undergo seeds with temperature drops (stress), and then germinate.

Simply greater! To do this, it is pre-edged, then wrap in a wet cloth (or put between cotton disks, napkins), put in a plastic bag (create a greenhouse effect) and remove to germs to a warm place where the temperature is + 24..28 degrees. As a rule, after 2-4 days, the seedlings will proceed.

Another way to germinate the pumpkin seeds is their expanding in sawdust. To do this, you need to pour fishing into a jar, pour them with boiling water and cover with a lid. Then wait a bit (so that the temperature fell to room) and add seeds to the jar with sawdust. After that, put this jar into a plastic bag and remove into a warm and dark place before germination.

In order to awaken old pumpkin seeds, You can apply the temperature rich method. For this, the seeds should be tied in the marry and alternately lower it in hot water (degrees 40-50), then in the cold (right from under the tap, although it is better to use Tluu if you still have snow). So you need to do 4-5 times, withstanding in water for 5-6 seconds. After the procedure, add and immediately sow on seedlings or in open soil.

Many daches successfully plant a pumpkin and dry seedsBut in this case the landing time should be shifted by 5-7 days, in other words, it is necessary to plant before.

Important! If you have acquired draised (treated) seedsNeither in any pre-sowing preparation they do not need them, they should be sowed dry.

How to plant a pumpkin on seedlings

So, you decided on time, prepared and treated seeds. Well, it's time to plant a pumpkin on seedlings! However, it is necessary to choose suitable planting containers, the ground to fill them and actually fall on the desired depth.

Landing containers and soil

Pumpkin planting and growing Pumpkin seedlings should be individual: pumpkin do not tolerate dive, therefore special peat cups are perfectly suitable, ordinary disposable plastic (0.5 liter volume), plastic pots or any other convenient containers from which will be Easy to get seedlings when disembarking in bed. In this case, their diameter should be at least 8-10 cm.

Alternative opinion! Many gardeners grow perfectly grow pumpkin seedlings and in small, 0.2 liter cups. Naturally, planting it is recommended earlier when the seedlings only formed the 1st, and the 2nd real sheet will begin to appear.

Pumpkin loves nutritious land. Soil mixture can be prepared independently or buy ready-made soil for pumpkin crops (cucumbers, melons, watermelons).

If you decide to make it with your own hands, you can mix peat, humid and sand in a ratio of 2: 1: 1 or take in equal shares peat, humid and overworked wood sawdust.

How to care for seeding pumpkins at home

When the first shoots appear (after 3-7 days), the shelter needs to be quickly removed.

And before that, at least 1 time a day, open the tank capacity for 10-15 minutes and at the same time check them for shoots.

After serving, the landing contains it would be nice to put in a cooler place (where the temperature is 2-5 degrees below, i.e. about + 15-18 during the day and + 13-15 at night), and then (in 5-7 days) Return in former temperature conditions (+ 20-25 during the day, not lower than +15 at night).

Such a procedure (decrease in temperature) will help not stretch out young seedlings.

Lighting

Pumpkin seedlings for normal growth must necessarily need good lighting, so it is necessary to set the container on a brightly lit window sill, ideal - on the southern (southeast or south-west).

Full of 12-hour day - Your reliable protection against drawing seedlings.

Tip!If suddenly seedlings start pulling out, then be sure to plug a little ground into the glasses.

Watering and subordinate

Pumpkin loves moisture, so she needs regular watering. However, it should be performed in moderate quantities, not overflowing the plant. At the same time, excessive drying of the soil is also impossible.

Water should be warm (at least room temperature), estimated or filtered.

After 1-1.5 weeks, how shoots will appear, pumpkin seedlings can be contacted for better growth (however, if you initially used fertile soil, then no feeding is needed). Alternatively, you can use nitrogen fertilizer (for example, a korlard or similar), and even better complete complex type of nitroamophoski or some special for pumpkin (same agricul).

When and how to plant pumpkin seedlings in open ground

Signal to planting pumpkin seedlings into open ground - the appearance of it is quite developed 2-3 of these leaves and the achievement of seedlings in 15-20 centimeters.

As for the landing terms, at this point the land should suffer enough (up to + 8-12 degrees), and the weather is steadily warm (above +10 degrees).

Like all pumpkin, pumpkin does not tolerate frosts, but the short tolerant can be transferred (unlike the rest of the Bakhchyev).

Depending on climatic conditions, as a rule, a favorable period occurs in the second half of April in the southern regions, in mid-May - in the middle lane (Moscow region), at the end of May - in the Urals and Siberia.

Tip! It will be very prudent if 5-7 days before the seedling seedlings on the garden you will handle your plants, namely, you begin to endure them on the balcony (or loggia) or to a greenhouse, gradually increasing the stay from 1-2 hours before the whole day.

Optimally landing pumpkin on the garden in the evening or day, in cloudy weather, when the sun went out or hid behind the clouds.

The planting of pumpkin seedlings are produced according to a specific scheme, as a rule, it is indicated on the packing of seeds (most often at a distance from 80 to 150 cm from each other).

The place for growing pumpkin should be the solar.

The transplant to the soil should be done carefully, slowly getting seedlings along with a room, and in no case damaging the root system of the plant. The well is better to do quite large enough: to bottom to pour a mixture of humus and ash, shed warm water, put a seedling, and then flood garden earth. As soon as the landing is carried out, the landing can be closed by humus.
