Melon management method

Pruning and hanging vines: the main vine retains the plants with good growth, and then the lateral branches on the cotyledon nodes are cut off. Temperature management: keep the temperature at about 25 ℃ during the day and not lower than 15 ℃ and higher than 18 ℃ at night. Fruit setting and leafing: hormone treatment and artificial pollination of muskmelon. Leave melons to choose melons: when young melons grow to the size of walnuts, keep 1-2 melons with better shape, and cut off the rest. Water and fertilizer management: watering and fertilizing according to the situation and growth of the soil.

First, pruning and hanging vines

1. It is necessary to use the method of single vine pruning to grow muskmelon, that is, to keep the strong and well-growing plants of the main vine, and then cut off all the lateral branches on the cotyledon node, and the lateral vine should not exceed 4.

2. If the growth is relatively weak, the lateral vine on the cotyledon node can be properly increased to about 6, and then all the rest will be cut off, and the 2-3 leaves of the lateral vine will be pinched, which is helpful to promote the plant to absorb nutrients and enhance its growth.

Second, temperature management

Muskmelon is a kind of temperature-loving fruit, the suitable temperature is about 25 ℃ during the day, the temperature at night should not be lower than 15 ℃, and higher than 18 ℃. If the temperature is higher than 35 ℃, or 10 ℃ lower, it will affect the fruit setting and expansion of muskmelon, so it is necessary to control the temperature. Because of the large temperature difference between day and night, it can increase the accumulation of sugar in the fruit.

Third, setting fruit and beating leaves

At 4-10:00 every day, melons can be treated with high-yield agents mixed with water, hormone treatment, and artificial pollination. After fruit setting, with the growth and development of melons, the lower leaves have gradually aged, and the intensity of photosynthesis began to weaken. And it will also affect the permeability between plants, so it is necessary to cut off the lower aging leaves in time, but pay attention to the time and quantity.

Fourth, leave melons and choose melons

1. If the node position of sitting melon is low, it will make the small yield of melon fruit low, while if the node position of sitting melon is high, it will make the yield of melon fruit large and high, but the sugar content will decrease, so the node position of sitting melon is generally in the middle position, that is, between 10-15 leaves of the plant.

2. When the young melon grows to the size of walnut, one or two melons with better melon type should be selected, and then all the others should be cut off, which is beneficial to increase the nutritional area of the fruit and promote the substances produced by photosynthesis to be transported to the fruit nearby.

V. Water and fertilizer management

1. Muskmelon needs a lot of fertilizer and water in the process of growth. about 7 days after the slow seedling of muskmelon, we can begin to water the seedling, and then we can water it according to the condition and growth of soil. about 10 jin of urea can be applied per mu of muskmelon.

2. However, when muskmelon blossoms, pollinates and sets fruit, watering should not be carried out, because watering will cause excessive growth of stems and leaves, and then result in bad fruit setting. When fertilizing, it is necessary to reasonably match the amount of nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, which can spray more foliar fertilizer, which is beneficial to improve quality and yield.
