How to plant muskmelon seedlings

Cantaloupe seedlings should be released and trained after they are unearthed, and the best temperature should be controlled at about 20-25 ℃ in daytime and 10 ℃ at night; more fertilizer and water should be applied at seedling stage to prevent melon seedlings from being harmed by root rot disease; cantaloupe seedlings should be coring and tending in time to promote melon fruit; grass should be laid under vines and melons should be turned in time to prevent injury from Huangshou melon larvae; timely topdressing, reasonable watering and timely harvest.

Cantaloupe is cantaloupe, which is rich in vitamins and amino acids, which is distributed in many areas of our country, especially in the rural areas of our country, almost every household will plant cantaloupe in summer.

Cantaloupe seedling management

1, ventilation training seedlings: the growth rate of muskmelon seedlings is very fast, in order to prevent it from overgrowing, the moisture and temperature should be strictly controlled in the planting process, and the temperature should be controlled at about 20-25 ℃ in daytime and 10 ℃ at night.

2. Seedling management: more fertilizer and water should be applied at the seedling stage. In order to prevent muskmelon seedlings from being harmed by root rot disease, muskmelon seedlings should be watered with compound fertilizer once a week or so, together with metalaxyl or metalaxyl aluminum and copper. After the muskmelon seedlings grow 4-5 true leaves, Bordeaux solution can be sprayed to prevent powdery mildew and white rust.

3. Coring and pruning: the fruit of cantaloupe grows on the son vine and grandson vine, so in the process of planting, it is necessary to timely pick the heart and trim the vine in order to promote the fruit of cantaloupe, generally using 6 vines. When the melon vine grows 5-6 leaves, leave 4 leaves to pick the heart, 2 vines, and then leave 3 grandvines under each vine.

4. Spreading grass and turning melon: in order to prevent melon fruit from being harmed by Huangshou melon larvae and reduce its quality and yield, grass should be laid under the vine when the vine is introduced, and the fruit should be turned in time when the melon is half-big, which can avoid insect peels. it can also make the peel of muskmelon consistent with the taste.

5, timely topdressing: in order to promote the growth of cantaloupe, after coring the cantaloupe, it is necessary to apply 500kg human manure and 50-100kg cake fertilizer per mu in the plantation, usually around the 10cm outside the root, cover the soil and then apply 100-200kg plant ash, and sprinkle 200-300kg dilute manure and 5kg superphosphate per mu after each melon harvest.

6. Rational irrigation: cantaloupe seedlings should be mainly controlled in the seedling stage, squatting seedlings can be properly squatted, and the combination of promotion and control should be carried out in the early flowering stage and fruit-setting stage. in order to prevent melon seedlings from growing and turning melon, irrigation should be strengthened in the middle and later stages of planting to promote melon to adapt to high temperature. to meet the water demand of melons and seedlings in the period of vigorous growth, and to improve their quality in the mature period, watering should be stopped.

7, timely harvest: early-maturing muskmelon can be harvested around June 2, if the grafted varieties, the harvest time can also be one week in advance, generally in June 20, the first stubble fruit will bear fruit, muskmelon should be harvested in time.

Planting time and points for attention of cantaloupe

Generally sowing in August-October, no later than mid-November, if you choose to sow in spring, the time is generally controlled in 2-3 months, it is best to ensure that Qingming Festival, Grain Rain can be harvested.

18-25 ℃ is suitable for cantaloupe growth and development, 22-25 ℃ is suitable for cantaloupe to blossom and bear fruit. Cantaloupe has strong adaptability to the environment and strong temperature resistance, but it requires higher light. For better growth and development of cantaloupe, it is necessary to keep sunshine time above 10-12 hours. If it can be kept at 14-15 hours per day for a long time, their growth will be better.
