What about watermelon poisoning?

When growing watermelons, because many melon farmers apply medicine blindly, and watermelons are very sensitive to many pesticides, they are prone to drug damage. After the occurrence of drug damage, it is necessary to take some remedial measures in time, so as to reduce the harm of watermelons.

1. Rinse with clean water

Most chemicals are not resistant to water scouring. If the pesticide concentration is too high, you can wash the stems and leaves repeatedly with a sprayer filled with water (preferably within 6 hours after application) to flush away the chemicals left on the surface of the plant and reduce the damage; when flushing, the air pressure of the sprayer should be sufficient and the amount of water sprayed should be large.

2. Suspension of medication

Before the drug damage is completely eliminated, the use of chemical pesticides, especially similar pesticides, should be reduced as far as possible, and should be stopped so as not to aggravate the drug damage.

3. Gibberellin plus sugar detoxification

For the symptoms that have caused drug damage, such as yellow leaves and atrophy of crops, we farmers should detoxify multiple damaged crops in time. For example, corn, peanuts due to high concentration of paclobutrazol spray caused excessive inhibition, growth stagnation, we can timely spray gibberellin plus sugar solution, can quickly restore the normal growth of crops. Grape, apple due to copper preparation, Bordeaux solution caused by drug damage, we can spray 0.5% lime water to alleviate the damage to crops.
