Overview

• A combination of five core practices—site selection, watering, manual pollination, frequent harvesting, and nutrient management—can significantly boost zucchini yields.
• Key cultivation tips include planting in sunny, wind-protected areas with humus-rich soil and ensuring consistent watering directly at the roots to prevent fungal diseases.
• Sustainable fertilization methods using kitchen scraps like coffee grounds, banana peels, and finely ground eggshells provide essential nutrients while reducing waste.
• Coffee grounds improve soil structure and deter pests, banana peels enhance potassium levels for strong roots and fruiting, and eggshells supply calcium to prevent blossom end rot.
• Frequent harvesting every one to three days encourages continuous flowering and fruit production, sustaining higher yields throughout the growing season.
