Abstract:

Glutinous waxy luffa is an advantageous and characteristic local variety in Hangzhou, with a long cultivation history time and well received by the market. It accounts for more than half of the total cultivation area of luffa in Hangzhou, which is still developing every year. As the planting area of glutinous waxy luffa continues to expand, the demand for its seeds is also gradually increasing. This article focused on the key technologies involved in the seed production process of glutinous waxy luffa, including field preparation, sowing and seedlings cultivation, soil preparation and fertilization, timely planting, plant-regulating, pollination, post pollination field management, disease and pest control, harvesting and seed quality testing. This technology is aim to provide a reference for farmers to improve the quality and yield of glutinous waxy luffa seeds.
