Agrotechnics.
Patisson is grown on light soils, where potatoes, cabbage, onions, and legumes grew in the previous year.
Before sowing, the seeds are treated in a solution of potassium permanganate, then washed with clean water.
Sowing in open ground and film shelters is carried out approximately in May, when the soil warms up to a depth of 8-10 cm to + 13 + 14 ° С, according to the scheme - 100 x 70 cm.
Seeds are sown in holes, 2-3 pcs. to a depth of 5-6 cm.
After emergence, weak plants must be removed.
The seedling method of growing is also used: in this case, seedlings with 2-3 true leaves are planted after preliminary hardening (one per hole), after the threat of frost has passed.
Further care consists in regular loosening, weeding, watering and feeding. With regular collection of fruits, the plants bear fruit until the first frost.
1 gram = 11-14 seeds.
