In the loofah village of Wang Jianwei, located in Wangjiao Village, Kangjiabang Village, Luocheng Subdistrict, Shouguang City, some loofah plants have shown signs of burnout symptoms. As seen in the image, the flowers are the most vulnerable part of the plant. The disease starts from the edges of the petals, and under high humidity, it turns white with a moldy appearance, but there is no noticeable odor.
This type of burnout is often caused by flower rot or *Mucor* blight, especially under conditions of high temperature and high humidity. To manage this issue, local vegetable farmers can use foliar sprays such as Kelu, Anke, or Lei Duomier. Additionally, they may consider applying some pesticides directly to the anthers to prevent the spread of disease.
Furthermore, you might want to try using a traditional herbal remedy for loofah cultivation. For example, when preparing a solution, take 4 pounds of water as a base. In winter, add 3 packets of guarana, 2 pieces of acetic acid, 10 ml of 2,4-D, 1 bud protection agent, and 12 ml of loofah extract. Also include 15 ml of green source and 1 bottle of rot inhibitor. This mixture is believed to help strengthen the plants and reduce the risk of disease.
Farmers are encouraged to monitor their crops regularly and adjust their practices based on weather conditions. Proper ventilation and drainage in the fields can also play a significant role in preventing such issues. By combining chemical treatments with natural remedies, growers can achieve better results and maintain healthy loofah production.
