The vegetables are large, turban-shaped with a protruding top. By weight, one pumpkin reaches from 1.2 to 1.9 kg. According to the originators, the weight of the fruit can increase to 10 kg, but for this it is necessary that the bush is not too thickened by developing pumpkins.

Growing regions

According to the originators, pumpkin grows best in the following regions:

  • Central;

  • East Siberian;

  • Volgo-Vyatsky;

  • Far Eastern.

But the variety is grown in the northwest, and in Siberia, and even in the Urals.

Growing and caring

Pumpkin Russian woman is grown in two well-known ways: seedling or sowing. The seedling method is suitable for regions with cold or late spring and very short summer.

Sowing depends on the climatic conditions of a particular region.

Since the seeds have a very thick shell, the material is pre-soaked. To do this, wrap all good seeds in damp gauze and leave in a dark place. The fabric is re-moistened periodically.

After the grains have hatched, they need to be removed to the refrigerator. This is necessary for subsequent hardening, especially if the crop will be grown in cold climates.

Young pumpkin seedlings have a very weak root system, so it is best to germinate crops in peat pots. The diameter should be chosen from 10 cm.

A small amount of earth is poured into a container and 2 seeds are planted. The depth of the hole should be 2 cm. All pots are covered with foil until the first shoots.

After a while, when the first leaves are formed, it is necessary to choose the strongest seedling out of the two, and remove the second.

Watering young seedlings is necessary as the soil dries up.

Pumpkin loves loose and fertile soil. Therefore, if the soil is too clayey, then it is better to dilute it with sand.

In the fall, it is necessary to dig up the garden bed, adding useful minerals to it. In the spring, the ridge is dug up again, and pits are formed. Their depth is 8-10 cm, and the distance is 60x60 cm.

Planting a pumpkin is best in the evening, when the sun is inactive.

The culture is undemanding to care, but some aspects still need to be observed.

  • Watering is considered the basis of all agricultural technology. A correctly performed event will allow the plant to develop and grow. For 1 m2, you need to pour 4 liters of water. When the growing season begins, the rate will increase to 7 liters, and subsequently to 11 liters. If there is no precipitation, then the procedure is carried out twice a week.

  • After watering, the soil is immediately loosened to a depth of 7-8 cm. This will ensure good penetration of not only water, but also fertilizers.

  • Top dressing. Its frequency directly depends on the condition of the soil. If the site is fertile, then during the season you can feed the pumpkin 2-3 times.

  • Harvesting is also considered proper care. When collecting, it is necessary to inspect all pumpkins, especially those that are put away for storage. They should be free of dents or spots and should have a whole stem. All other vegetables must be eaten immediately. Pumpkins are stored in the cellar. The air temperature should be up to + 10 ° С, and the average humidity should be 75%. It is best to lay out the fruits on shelves, not close to each other. The stalk should always point upwards.

Disease and pest resistance

The pumpkin Russian woman has good immunity indicators, but with improper care, the culture can be attacked by aphids, powdery mildew, and also become infected with anthracnose, root rot, bacteriosis.

To prevent root rot, when rotting of the roots begins, and then the stem, it is best to spray the bushes with a solution of ash or copper sulfate.

If spots appear on the foliage, then this is a tobacco mosaic. You can get rid of it by applying Bordeaux liquid or Fundazol.

With bacteriosis, small spots appear on the leaves, and the fruits begin to lose their elasticity. It is necessary to spray the bushes with copper chloride.

With powdery mildew, a whitish bloom appears. For the fight, the drug "Topaz" is used.

For the prevention of pests, it is necessary to regularly remove weeds in the beds and in the furrows.

Seed material and soil are processed before planting.

Pumpkin does not like large amounts of nitrogen in the soil, but insects do.
