What are the cultivation methods to improve the yield of bitter gourd?
Momordica charantia is a cucurbitaceous plant. Because of its sweet and bitter taste, it is a vegetable used for heat and detoxification in summer. Also, eating bitter melon can enhance the vitality of the cortex and make the skin delicate and fit. Raw food clears heat and purges fire, relieves heat and troubles; cooked food nourishes the blood and nourishes the liver, nourishes the spleen and nourishes the kidney, and has very high nutritional value. So what planting methods do you need to master to increase the yield of bitter gourd? Let's take a look together next!
Momordica charantia cultivation
1. Site selection
Planting bitter gourd should choose soil with deep soil layer, fertile soil, convenient drainage and irrigation, or sandy soil, preferably land that has not been planted with melons and fruits to reduce the occurrence of diseases.
2. Sowing and nursery
①The seeds should be disinfected before sowing, you can use 10% copper sulfate 100 times solution for disinfection, because the surface of bitter gourd seeds is relatively hard, soak the seeds for 8~12 hours before germination, and then put the seeds at 30℃ When germinating is carried out in an environment of up to 35°C, the seeds can be sown when the seeds are about 60% white.
â‘¡ Nursery can be carried out by using plastic bags or nutrient cups to pre-configure the nutrient soil. The nutrient cup should be filled with water on the day before sowing, and the temperature should be controlled after sowing.

3. Colonization
â‘ When four to five leaves of bitter melon seedlings grow, they can be transplanted and cultivated. One to two days before transplantation, the seedlings can be refined to improve the cold resistance of the seedlings. When transplanting, make the roots of the seedlings as much as possible with soil, because the regeneration capacity of the root system of bitter gourd is relatively weak.
â‘¡The soil before planting can be applied with high-quality organic fertilizers and leveled and raked. Ridge cultivation can be used in open field cultivation, and water must be poured when planting, but the waterlogging tolerance of bitter gourd is average, so the field must have good irrigation and drainage facilities.
4. Field management during cultivation
â‘ Weeding and fertilizing in time: In order to ensure the yield of bitter gourd, weeds in the field of bitter gourd must be eradicated. This not only helps to increase the permeability of the soil, but also ensures the growth of seedlings; in the process of watering bitter gourd In order to ensure the supply of nutrients for seedlings, proper fertilization should be carried out.
â‘¡ Scaffolding: When the bitter gourd grows out of the side vines, it is necessary to set up the bitter gourd to help the growth of the bitter gourd vines. The main ways of scaffolding are horizontal scaffolding, bamboo frame and herringbone frame. In the early stages of creeping, the vines should be tied to the vines. This is to better shed the vines.

â‘¢Artificial pollination: If it is natural pollination, the pollination rate of balsam pear is relatively low, which will affect the output of balsam pear, so artificial pollination of balsam pear is needed. In order to improve the success rate of artificial pollination, pollination is generally carried out on the day when the balsam pear blooms, and the time is generally between 9 am and 11 am on that day, because female pollen is the most pollen during this period.
â‘£Prevention and control of pests and diseases: The main pests during the planting process of Momordica charantia are whiteflies and Liriomyza sativae. These pests often cause bitter gourd to suffer from downy mildew, powdery mildew, and gray mold, so the prevention and control work should be strengthened throughout the cultivation process. It should be noted that when using pesticides for prevention and control, pesticides that meet national standards should be used.
⑤ Harvest: The growth of bitter gourd is relatively fast, and the fruit can be harvested generally 12 days after the end of flowering. The best time for picking bitter melon is half a month after flowering. At this time, the bitter gourd grows the most full, and the color changes from dark green to bright green. It should be noted that when picking, in order not to affect the appearance of bitter gourd, so the movement should be light when picking.

The fruit, corn, contains a lot of magnesium, which is known to be one of the few trace elements in the food and can help prevent cancer development.And the fruit corn contains a substance called glutathione, which can make some chemical carcinogens in the body toxic.To ward off cancer.
Although corn is highly nutritious, it is rich in crude fibre, so for children with delicate stomachs, too much of it can easily cause indigestion. If you add milk to the juice and then give it to your child, it will be less taxing on the stomach and more nutritious, and your child will be able to eat more food. (This method uses a wall breaker, but if you don't have one, a juicer is fine.)
