The planting method of bergamot melon (harvest melon)

Bergamot melon, also known as cantaloupe, harvest melon, cantaloupe, Turkish melon, golden melon and so on, originated in Mexico, can be used as both vegetables and fruits, very popular. Then, the editor will introduce to you the planting method of bergamot melon.

1. Land selection and preparation

The resistance of bergamot melon is not particularly strong, so it is more suitable for planting in relatively warm areas, so it also has certain requirements for the choice of soil. it is best to choose sandy land with sufficient light, good soil permeability, moderate drainage and water storage capacity and sufficient soil fertility, or neutral land with weak soil viscosity. When preparing the land, we need to spread farm manure evenly on the land, and then turn the soil deeply, so that the nutrients can go deep into the soil, increase the fertility of the soil, make the soil as fine as possible, and the land is as smooth as possible. The second is the need for a small ditch every 1.5 meters in the field to facilitate drainage and irrigation.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings

Because the growth cycle of bergamot melon is relatively long, and the seedling period of the seeds is also relatively long, we need to soak the seeds in warm water for one night before sowing, then take them out and put them into the medicament and stir them evenly, rinse them with water and drain the water. You can sow seeds. There are two ways of sowing. The first is hole sowing, which is 40 to 50 centimeters apart in each row in the field. Each plant is planted in holes at an interval of 30 to 40 centimeters, and the seeds can be covered with sow. the second is to first cultivate bergamot seedlings on the seedbed, and then wait until the right time, usually around May. The interval of transplanting is the same as that of hole sowing, and at the same time, whether it is hole sowing or transplanting, we need to wet the land before planting.

3. Field management

The correct field management of bergamot melon also determines its yield and quality. It is generally necessary to apply fertilizer at least three times during the whole growing period of bergamot melon, and many crops need to be fertilized after planting. Bergamot melon cannot be fertilized during this period of time, as long as it is watered, otherwise the bergamot seedlings will wither, and the first topdressing will be needed when the plant enters the rapid growth period. It is mainly urea, and the second fertilization is in the peak season of bergamot flowering, when we need to spray a certain amount of foliar fertilizer and some farm rotten fertilizer to promote flowers and protect fruits, and finally wait until the fruit is placed successfully. in order to promote the growth and ripening of bergamot, we can spray an appropriate amount of boron fertilizer on it.

4. Branch and leaf management

When the bergamot melon grows to 40 centimeters long, we need to set it up, although it can crawl and grow directly on the ground, it can not only improve the yield and quality of bergamot melon, but also avoid a lot of diseases and insect pests. Secondly, in the process of its growth, we need to cut off some of the branches and leaves, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients and improve the success rate of melon.
