Cantaloupe planting: 5 key points of field management!

A large number of melons have been planted artificially, and the planting area is getting wider and wider, but the quality of melons is proportional to their maturity. Many friends do not know how to manage and improve the quality of melons better. Here is the cantaloupe planting: an introduction to 5 key points of field management!

First, pruning and hanging vines

The method of single vine pruning is needed to grow muskmelon in spring, that is, the main vine is left to grow and develop. If the plant is growing well, all the lateral branches on the cotyledon node need to be cut off, and the lateral vine shall not exceed 4. If the growth is relatively weak, you can appropriately increase the lateral vine on the cotyledon node to about 6, and then remove all the rest, and pinch off the 2-3 leaves of the lateral vine, which can promote the nutrient absorption of the plant. Enhance the growth.

Second, temperature management

Melon is a kind of temperature-loving fruit, the suitable temperature is about 25 degrees during the day, and not less than 15 degrees above 18 degrees at night. If the temperature is higher than 35 degrees or less than 10 degrees, it will have a great impact on the fruit setting and expansion of melons. Therefore, it is necessary to control its surrounding temperature, the lowest temperature at night can be about 10-12 degrees, the temperature difference between day and night can increase the accumulation of sugar in the fruit.

Third, setting fruit and beating leaves

From 4 to 10:00 every morning, melons can be treated with high-yield agents mixed with water for hormone treatment and artificial pollination. With the growth and development of melons after fruit setting, the lower leaves of melons have gradually aged, the intensity of photosynthesis has little effect or can not carry out photosynthesis, and will also affect the permeability between plants, so the lower aged leaves should be removed in time. But you need to pay attention to the time and quantity.

Fourth, leave melons and choose melons

Low node position of sitting melon will eventually lead to low yield of small melon, while high node position of sitting melon will lead to high yield of melon, but lower sugar content, so the node position of sitting melon should be in the middle, usually between 10-15 leaves of the plant. when young melons grow to the size of walnuts, choose one or two melons with better shape, remove the rest, and increase the nutritional area of the fruit. Substances produced by photosynthesis are transported to the fruit nearby.

V. Water and fertilizer management

Melons generally need a lot of fertilizer and water. After a week or so of slow seedling watering, melons begin to water according to soil conditions and growth. If the growth is weak, you can apply 10 jin of urea per mu. But it is not suitable to water when flowering, pollination and fruit setting, because it may cause excessive growth of stems and leaves and then lead to poor fruit setting. When fertilizing, we should pay attention to the mixing and matching of all kinds of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers and apply more foliar fertilizer. Improve yield and quality.

The above is the introduction of the field management methods of muskmelon in spring by Tuliu. in order to achieve high yield of muskmelon, we must first control water, fertilizer and temperature, and pay close attention to the diseases and insect pests of melons. All fruits are the same. Diseases and insect pests will seriously harm their growth, it is necessary to regularly disinfect the orchard and clean up the disease and residual branches.
