Pumpkin "Atlantic Giant"
Pumpkin "Atlantic Giant".
Medium late variety (110-130 days). Gaining weight up to 50 kg. Well kept. The best predecessors for pumpkins are perennial grasses, virgin soil, fallow, annual grasses, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, onions. In order to avoid diseases, it is better to return the pumpkin to its original place after 3-4 years. Pumpkin does not require direct liming of soils, responds well to organic fertilizers (dose of manure or compost 60–80 kg/10 m2), as well as to fertilizing with nitrogen-potassium fertilizers during flowering and the beginning of fruit formation (potassium nitrate 100 g/10 m2) with watering. With a lack of nutrition, the pumpkin ovaries crumble. Pumpkin responds well to spraying with sodium humate (0.02% solution).
