Planting techniques of muskmelon in Japan

First of all, it is necessary to choose a suitable plot, and the loose sandy loam or sandy soil is the best. Apply sufficient base fertilizer to prepare the land to make beds. Live on land. Before sowing, water was poured into the bottom of the soil and seeds were germinated. Pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases in the middle and later stage of growth.

1. Select suitable plots

It is best to choose loose sandy loam or sandy soil to grow muskmelon.

The previous crop is the winter fallow field, the ground temperature of such land is easy to rise in spring, the plant grows quickly, and the quality of melon is good.

2. Apply sufficient base fertilizer to prepare the land and make beds.

Muskmelon mainly applied base fertilizer, and applied rotten chicken manure or circle fertilizer 7000kg, diammonium phosphate 50kg, potassium sulfate 50kg, urea 10kg per mu to meet the nutrient demand of the whole growth period. Then ploughing and ploughing the land, waiting for the land to be leveled and then digging the bed.

3. Sowing seeds

Live on land. Before sowing, water was poured at the bottom of the soil, and seeds were germinated. After the seeds were exposed, the seeds were sown in trenches on the high border, with two rows per row, 60cm, 30cm, 2-3 seeds per hole, 3-4cm covered with soil, and plastic film after sowing.

4. Management

Japanese muskmelon is a variety that depends on the sun vine, breaking the membrane and releasing the seedlings in time after emergence, supporting a small arch shed at the same time, planting in 3-4 leaves, leaving 2000-2200 seedlings per mu, gradually releasing the film with the temperature rising, 5-6 leaves removed from the arch shed to retain the plastic film and topping the main vine, promoting the growth of the vine, each plant is selected to leave 2 strong vines and 15 leaves to top, and the grandson vine is selected at the 3-8 section. There are 2-3 melons per plant, and Sun Meng leaves 2 leaves to beat the top after the melon is seated. In order to ensure the quality of melon, no watering is arranged during the whole growth period, but in case of special drought, it should also be watered to cool down.

In the middle and later stage of growth, attention was paid to the prevention and control of diseases. It was found that the diseased leaves were sprayed with fungicides and 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution every 7-10 days for 2-3 times, so as to control the disease, help expand melons and increase sugar content. Manage the vine and smooth melon in time after setting the melon, often turn the melon during the fruit development period, so that the melon coloring is good, close to the maturity of the melon, covered with grass or sandy soil under the melon, prevent rotten melons or suffer insect pests.
