What is the cause of melon fruit cracking?

Variety problems, too dry soil, imbalance of water supply, too strong harvest vibration, too much irrigation, too much organic fertilizer and so on may cause melon fruit cracking.

What is the cause of melon fruit cracking

1. Variety reason: the varieties with thin and brittle skin are easy to crack.

2. Soil drought: excessive nitrogen fertilizer caused the obstacle of plant absorption of boron and calcium.

3. At the initial stage of fruit expansion, the development stopped due to continuous low temperature, and then continued expansion caused cracking melon; or fruit soil was dry, fruit development was blocked, late watering was too much or heavy rain, and water supply was out of balance, resulting in cracking melon.

4. The peel of the fruit is thin and the vibration causes cracking during harvest.

5. Too much irrigation in the near mature stage.

6. it is overcast and sunny for a long time, or the temperature control is too large, because the temperature rises too fast and too high.

2. Prevention and control of fruit cracking

The main results are as follows: 1. Select the varieties with thick peel and high toughness.

2. Heavy application of organic fertilizer to increase soil temperature and promote root development to absorb water and nutrients in the plough layer.

3. Increase the application of potassium fertilizer and fulvic acid fertilizer to improve the pericarp toughness. During the fruit expansion period, the foliar fertilizer containing calcium and boron was sprayed for 2 times.

4. watering reasonably, adhering to the principle of applying fertilizer and water at the same time with a small amount of water.
