Efficient and Ecological Cultivation Techniques of Bitter Gourd

Abstract

Construction of environment-friendly and resource-saving cultivation techniques is the key to sustainable development of agriculture and the ecological environment. In order to explore the efficient and ecological Hainan bitter gourd cultivation patterns, our laboratory had conducted production comparative study for two consecutive years (2010-2011) using Reyan No. 1 dark green bitter gourd. The results show that drip irrigation, balanced fertilization at different growth stages, bagging and the physical control of pest and disease are efficient and ecological cultivation measures of bitter gourd in Hainan.
