Bitter gourd, also known as sea gourd and bitter gourd, is one of our common vegetables. It has the effects of promoting digestion, clearing away heat, regulating blood lipids, detoxifying and reducing blood sugar. It is deeply loved by everyone. In recent years, more and more farmers have grown bitter gourd, and as November enters, the management of bitter gourd must also be paid attention to. Starting from November, the temperature will gradually be lower, which will still have a certain impact on the growth and development of bitter gourd. So how should bitter gourd be managed in November?

Management points of bitter gourd in November

1. Temperature adjustment

The temperature in November has already begun to be low, so the first management of bitter gourd in November must control the temperature. Bitter gourd loves temperature and light. When bitter gourd is blooming, bitter gourd is very sensitive to temperature changes. The temperature during the day should be controlled at about 28 degrees, not too high. The temperature at night should also be kept at about 12 degrees. If it is lower than 12 degrees, it will hinder the differentiation of flower buds of bitter gourd, resulting in decreased flowering and fruiting rate of bitter gourd and uneven growth of bitter gourd. While ensuring the temperature in November, there is proper ventilation and light transmission to ensure the normal growth of bitter gourd.

2. Picking leaves in Qingyuan

The bitter gourd began to be harvested gradually after November. Therefore, the garden should be cleaned after harvesting. First, remove the old leaves, diseased and insect leaves and other leaves on the vines of bitter gourd, and then remove the fallen flowers and melons to bring out the melons. The garden will be burned and buried deeply. Control the spread of germs and prevent pests and diseases caused by germ activities in the coming spring. Do a good job of disinfection, carry out deep soil preparation, destroy the wintering places of pests and bacteria, improve the cold resistance of bitter gourd plants, and enhance immunity. Reduce the incidence of pests and diseases, and provide a good environment for the growth of balsam pear plants and melons.

3. Water and fertilizer management

When balsam pear is planted in November, ridges should be cultivated as much as possible to keep the balsam pear warm. After planting, it is covered with a fine soil film to prevent excessive air humidity in the shed. When watering, pay attention to the water temperature to prevent the bitter gourd from causing freezing damage due to low water temperature, and use small drip irrigation as the main method, about once every three weeks. When watering, combine with a small amount of compound fertilizer. At this time, the fertilizer is mainly used to promote the rooting of bitter gourd. Increase the soil temperature and promote the growth of new roots. But pay attention to the amount, not too much, because the temperature of the compound fertilizer is low, and if the temperature of the compound fertilizer is too high, it will easily cause frost damage and affect the growth of balsam pear plants.

4. Disease control

Wendy began to decline gradually in November, and pests basically began to overwinter without harming plants. But if it is not well managed, it will still be harmed by diseases. Common diseases of bitter gourd in winter include spot disease and powdery mildew. Therefore, when we carry out disease prevention and control in November, we must take these two diseases as the main direction. Regularly use the corresponding prevention and control agents for disinfection, eliminate germs, and cut off the route of transmission of germs. Then we must do a good job of cleaning the garden, because most germs are attached to old leaves, fallen flowers and melons. Observe the melon orchard frequently, and promptly take corresponding measures after discovering abnormal conditions, early detection and early treatment.
