- Cucurbits are short term but vigorous growing crops. They tend to be shallow rooted, requiring careful management of nutrition and soil moisture for optimum yield of good quality fruit.
- Consider cucurbit species, soil type, water, soil health, irrigation method, fertiliser form, efficiency and growth structure practices. General rule all phosphorus and a third to half of nitogen and potassium requirements are supplied at planting.
- Most cucurbits are irrigated and often fertigation is used as an effective method of applying major and minor nutrients.
- Foliar sprays are another useful application method for biostimulant and trace elements can be address at peak demand when root uptake can be inefficient.
- In all circumstances the use of soil and leaf testing is imperative for analysing the status of nutrient level.
