The growth period of the latest watermelon

Watermelon is widely planted in our country, and it is basically planted in all parts of our country. Watermelon is very high in nutritional value, high in sugar content and sweet in taste, so it is also welcomed by many people. When planting watermelons, we should fully understand the various growth stages of watermelons in order to better plant management. So what are the growth periods of watermelons? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Germination period

In the whole growth period of watermelon, the first growth period is the germination period of watermelon. The germination period of watermelon usually refers to the time when the seeds begin to germinate and then until the cotyledons unfold after sowing. During this period, it is called the germination period of watermelon. during the germination period of watermelon, we should pay attention to the growth of watermelon seedlings to avoid excessive growth of watermelon seedlings, resulting in the formation of tall seedlings. The growth of tall seedlings is very weak, and it is prone to yellow leaves, and its disease resistance is also very poor. In general, the time of germination is about 10 days, which will not be very long.

2. Seedling stage

After the watermelon experienced the germination stage, the seeds successfully germinated and grew out of the seedlings and entered the seedling stage of the watermelon. The seedling stage of watermelon is usually during the period of 5-6 leaves after the true leaves grow. The growth rate of watermelon plants in seedling stage is relatively slow, during this period, we should focus on management and pay attention to the differentiation of seedling roots and various growth organs. If poor management, then it is easy to have a variety of problems, affecting the late growth of watermelon, yield and quality will be greatly affected, the seedling stage of watermelon is usually about one month.

3. Trailing period

After the seedling stage, the growth period of watermelon entered the trailing stage. Usually after the watermelon grows 5-6 leaves, the plant will begin to grow vines. From this time on, the watermelon is in the period of trailing until the end of the melon and the time when the female flower is blooming. The growth rate of watermelon plants in vine stage is faster than that in seedling stage, and its time will be shorter than that in seedling stage, usually only about three weeks. At this time, we should pay attention to do a good job in water and fertilizer management, supplement sufficient nutrition and water for watermelon, and promote the growth of watermelon.

4. Result period

The fruiting period is the growth stage after the watermelon has gone through the ripening period. This is the most important growth stage of watermelon, usually from the end of the remaining melon to the time when the female flower opens and the fruit expands, which is the fruiting period of watermelon. During the fruiting period of watermelon, the demand for nutrient water is relatively large, so we should also pay attention to watering and fertilization to ensure the nutritional supply of watermelon. At the same time, we should also pay attention to field management and weeding, so as to ensure the growth of watermelon fruit. The fruiting period of watermelons is usually about one month.

The above is a brief introduction to the growth period of watermelons. This is the end of today's introduction, this article is for reference only, friends who want to know more relevant information, please continue to follow us!
