What are the planting methods and field management points of bergamot melon?

1. Areas suitable for planting bergamot melon

There are still many areas suitable for growing bergamot in China, such as Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Taiwan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, Hebei and Liaoning, and most of them grow well in mountainous areas with high yield per plant.

2. The growth habit of bergamot.

Cantaloupe is warm in nature and can tolerate higher temperatures. It takes more than 20 ℃ to grow normally. The fruit development period requires a slightly lower temperature, and when the ground temperature is below 5 ℃, the root system will die. Bergamot melon is suitable for fertile and water-retaining soil. It is more tolerant to fertilizer and has strong resistance to diseases and insect pests.

3. Planting of bergamot melon

When the son vine grows to 150 cm, the heart is removed again, leaving 3 sun vines each. Pay attention to adjust the shelf surface, remove the tendrils in time and restrain the strong and help the weak according to the growth of the main vine, so that the shelf surface is evenly distributed.

3. Fertilization management

Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium ternary compound fertilizer or farm manure was applied before watering. In order to improve the fertilizer efficiency of farm manure, 5-7 kg calcium superphosphate was added to every 100 kg of human feces and urine, stirred evenly, stored for 5-10 days and fermented for 5-10 days. Apply appropriate amount in each pit.
