Recommended Planting Regions & Seasons

• Suitable for cultivation in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing, the Yangtze River Basin, and Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai regions.
• In the Yangtze River Basin, sow in seedbeds from January 21 to February 20, transplant in greenhouses in late February or under plastic mulch in early to mid-March.
• For other regions with similar climate and ecological conditions, trial planting is advised before large-scale cultivation.

Key Cultivation Practices
Recommended planting density is 2,000 plants per mu (approx. 30,000 per hectare), with 66 × 50 cm spacing. Train vines onto trellises promptly. When 3–4 young fruits appear, perform successive pinching, remove lateral branches, and retain the main stem to promote fruit setting. During low temperatures, hormone treatment or manual pollination with male flowers can improve early fruit set.

Adaptability
This variety is highly adaptable and demonstrates high yield, stability, and strong resistance to stress under proper cultivation and management.

First female flower node position:

• Spring planting: at nodes 9–12.
• Autumn planting: at nodes 18–19.

Fruit Characteristics:

Cylindrical and straight fruit with green skin and horizontal ridges.

Spring crop:

• Fruit length: approx. 36 cm.
• Diameter: approx. 5.8 cm.
• Average weight: 450–500 g per fruit.

Autumn crop:

• Fewer deformed fruits.
• Fruit length: approx. 30 cm.
• Diameter: approx. 6.5 cm.
• Average weight: 460–530 g per fruit.

The fruits are firm with excellent marketability, suitable for both fresh market and transport. Ideal for spring and autumn cultivation in open fields and protected environments.

Cultivation Guidelines:

• Recommended planting density: 1,400 plants per mu (approx. 21,000 plants/ha).
• Spacing: 100 cm between rows × 50 cm between plants; single-plant transplanting.
• Timely trellising and vine training are essential.
• Remove 2–3 immature fruits consecutively to promote fruit set and enhance fruit-bearing continuity.
• During early low-temperature periods, apply plant growth regulators or manually pollinate using male flowers; remove lateral branches and retain the main stem to improve early fruit set.

Adaptation Areas:

• Well-suited for cultivation in Chongqing and the middle to lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
• Spring sowing: January 21 to February 20 in heated seedbeds; transplant to greenhouse in late February or to mulched fields in early to mid-March.
• Autumn sowing: Use shade nets for seedling production; sow from June 20 to 30.
• For other regions with similar climate and ecological conditions, trial planting is recommended before large-scale cultivation.
