First, varieties. The bitter taste of bitter gourd can be inherited. If the seeds of bitter gourd are planted, the grown gourd is also bitter. The bitter taste of loofah is also controlled by genes, and genes can be inherited. Rana velutipes are generally easy to form bitter melons.
Second, cross pollination. During pollination by insects, the bitter-sweet gourd plants receive the pollen of the bitter-sweet gourd plant, or the bitter gourd pollen, causing the loofah to bite.
Third, high temperature and drought, lack of light and other adverse growth environment. Continuous high temperature, drought, lack of light affect the normal nutrient absorption of the plant and lead to the formation of bitter melon.
Fourth, the use of fertilizer is unreasonable. During the growth process of loofah, if nitrogen fertilizer is applied too much, organic fertilizer and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers will be used less and the water will be insufficient, which will also increase bitterness.
Fifth, the plant was injured. Luffa gossypium is suffering from damage to the roots during transplanting, fertilizing, weeding, or cutting. In addition, loofah suffers from insect infestation, vines are damaged, and bitter gourd is also easily produced.
Six, continuous work. Loofah crops are continuously planted on the same plot of land and there is a high incidence of bitter loofah.
Prevention:
First, choose a good variety, when you leave your seed, be sure to choose a loofah without bitter taste.
Second, when planting must pay attention to reasonable irrigation, improve the growth environment, enhance ventilation and light, and promote photosynthesis.
Third, strengthen fertilizer and water management, rational fertilization.
Fourth, avoid damage to plants, including roots and vines.
V. Rotation with other vegetable varieties.
