The best choice for planting balsam pear is the fertile soil with loose air permeability, good drainage capacity and rich nutrition. Balsam pear grown in this soil can produce high yield and have excellent quality. Because in dry and humid environment, such soil can timely adjust the water content, and there is no hard soil to hinder the growth of roots. In addition, it should be noted that balsam pear is more suitable for cultivation in slightly acidic soil, and the pH value of soil is preferably between 6.0-6.8. 1、 What kind of soil is better for balsam pear? 1. Fertile and deep: fertile soil can provide more nutrients for balsam pear. If the nutrients keep up, the plant will grow faster and the fruit quality will be better.
2. Loose and breathable: this soil is conducive to the aerobic respiration of balsam pear roots, so that balsam pear can fully absorb minerals in the soil, and allow the leaves to be fully developed, so that photosynthesis can be carried out better, so as to promote the growth of balsam pear.
3. Good drainage: during the growth of balsam pear, if there is water in the soil, it is easy to cause root necrosis. Once the root system goes wrong, it will affect the growth of leaves. So plant with well drained soil. 2、 What kind of fertilizer is better for balsam pear? 1. Base fertilizer: base fertilizer is the basic condition for balsam pear growth. The base fertilizer of balsam pear mainly uses rotten farm fertilizer, and can be supplemented with an appropriate amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Stir them evenly and mix them into the soil.
2. Topdressing: topdressing shall be carried out at seedling emergence, growth stage and flowering stage of Momordica charantia. Balsam pear needs different fertilizers in different periods. Urea is the main fertilizer for seedling promotion, while farm fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer should be applied for the long-term growth. The amount of phosphorus fertilizer should be increased and some boron fertilizer should be sprayed appropriately. The amount of each fertilizer needs to be adjusted according to the growth of balsam pear. （ChongKuGuaYongShenMeTuBiJiaoHao）
