The invention provides an organic planting method for loofah, belonging to the technical field of
agriculture, and specifically relates to a planting method for the loofah. The invention provides the organic planting method for the loofah with little
pesticide residue. The organic planting method for the loofah is characterized by comprising the following steps: 1, a manner of direct
sowing or
seedling transplanting of the loofah can be adopted, and no matter which manner is adopted, the better manner is to soak seeds and accelerate
germination at first and then sow seeds; 2,
nutrient and water management, wherein stem vines of the loofah have large growth amount, bear well and need a great amount of water and nutrients; 3, frame building,
vine introducing and
vine binding: timely building a frame after a second deep intertillage, wherein a shed frame, in general, is better to be adopted for varieties with long vines which grow vigorously and have strong branching capacity; 4,
soil preparation and field planting: selecting soil with strong water-retaining capacity and
high fertility for cultivation of the loofah, carrying out deep ploughing and
soil drying under the sun before planting, and applying about 5000 kg of
farmyard manure per mu; and 5,
plant arrangement, wherein the loofah is a vining
plant, so the frame is needed to be built for cultivation; generally, when the vines of the loofah have a length of 30 to 60 centimeters, the frame is needed to be built; and the form of the frame can be determined according to the varieties adopted for cultivation,
plant growth capacity and branching conditions.
