The grade of Titanium pumpkin is considered one of the most large-fruited in the world, without application of special agrotechnology the fruits reach 30-50 kg, and at good leaving it is possible to grow up pumpkin to 500 kg. It is necessary to consider that this grade demands a lot of place, in clean landings it is placed according to the scheme 2 by 2 m.
Cultivation of seedling
Before landing the seeds of pumpkin ret for 2-3 hours in warm water, its temperature has to be +50-55os. It is the most convenient to do it in thermos. Then seeds need to be couched in sawdust or damp rag. It is important not to overdo sprouts, they have to open cotyledonous peel only.
Germinated seeds land on one in separate glasses. It is necessary to remember that seedling of pumpkin cannot be pererashchivat as soon as the earth left cotyledons, she should be put in soil. Otherwise she will get used to hothouse conditions and at disembarkation to the open ground will burn down in the sun.
It is possible to plant germinated seeds to the open ground at once. For this purpose do holes by depth on one and a half bayonets of shovel, put wood ashes and humus on bottom. Powder them with the soil and plant seeds or seedling of pumpkin on depth of 5-7 cm then it is abundant water.
Leaving and fertilizing
The big area is necessary for cultivation of Titanium pumpkin therefore recommend to combine its landing with potatoes, peas, corn or haricot. In hole it is necessary to leave no more than two shoots. If you land pumpkin seedling or want to receive very large fruits, it is necessary to leave only one seedling. In process of its growth make regular waterings and also introduce organic fertilizers. The soil begins to be prepared even in the fall — bring horse or cow manure. It will be possible to add compost or well rerotting manure in the spring. It is desirable to seed previously on the site of siderata — white mustard, winter rye or fatseliya. To accelerate formation of fruit, after emergence of 4-5 real leaves prishchipyvat stalk top. After that the plant begins is abundant to branch. Escapes should be powdered at distance 50-60 cm from stalk, so at pumpkin many additional roots are formed that will increase its power supply. Pumpkin 1-2 times a week feed up water solution of mineral fertilizers. The first fertilizing is done in 2 weeks after planting of seedling. If you grow up "Titanium" for the sake of record, it is necessary to leave no more than 1-2 fruits on plant. All remained ovaries delete, and for prevention of rotting under fruits enclose plates. For receiving record fruits select seeds of the largest copies of pumpkin. At the same time it is worth to remember that pumpkin can pereopylyatsya squash and bush pumpkins. At hybrids, as a rule, it is worse tastes, they it is less by the size. For maintaining high-quality purity the buds of pumpkin need to be isolated, and to carry out pollination artificially, it will help to receive ovary earlier therefore pumpkin will have more time until the end of season to gain weight.
