Agricultural technology.
It is grown both in seedlings and by direct sowing of seeds in the ground when the threat of frost has passed. Seeding depth is not more than 4 cm.
With the seedling method, sowing is done in separate pots (8-10 cm in diameter), since it is better to plant plants in the ground with a clod of earth
(seedlings should have 2-4 true leaves).
Further care consists in loosening the soil, regular watering (in the initial period of cultivation) and fertilizing with complex fertilizers.
Pumpkin prefers loose nutrient soils.
