Field management of the latest cantaloupe planting

Cantaloupe is a specialty of Xinjiang. When you talk about cantaloupe, you may think of Xinjiang. Although it is a specialty fruit of Xinjiang, it is very popular in all parts of our country. So now relying on greenhouse planting technology is also planted in most places, but after all, it is not the fruit that we often grow, and we do not know how to manage it after planting. So how to carry out the daily management of planting cantaloupe? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Seedling stage management

The seedling stage is a critical period of cantaloupe, because the quality of management has a direct impact on the survival rate in the later stage. When the seedlings are unearthed, it is necessary to observe the emergence of seedlings, if there is a failure of emergence or the phenomenon of dead seedlings should be replenished in time, when the seedlings grow certain leaves, we need to start to fix the seedlings, and remove the seedlings that are poor in growth and short and weak. And pull out the excess weeds in the field to prevent the growth of seedlings from being affected.

2. Temperature

Except for Xinjiang, the large-scale planting in most parts of our country is by the method of greenhouse. Temperature has a great effect on the growth of Hami melon, controlling the temperature to promote the growth of Hami melon. In particular, the temperature difference between day and night is the most important. Cantaloupe has different temperature requirements at each growth stage. It should be noted that the temperature at night should not be too high, which will have an impact on the growth and development of the fruit.

3. Topdressing

According to the appropriate topdressing according to the growth of the plant, the first topdressing should be the application of diamine or urea when the seedlings reach about 5cm. The purpose of topdressing is to promote the nutrient absorption of the plant, accelerate the growth rate of the plant, protect flowers and fruits and so on. In the growth to a certain stage, such as flowering, expansion period, etc., should be fertilized in time. Attention should be paid to the balance of fertilizer, and single fertilizer should not be applied to fruits.

4. Watering

Water is one of the essential substances in the growth of Hami melon. Proper watering can effectively promote the growth of Hami melon, improve the fruit setting rate and ensure the yield. It should be noted that the peak of water demand is in the flowering period, fruiting period and vine growth period of cantaloupe. The specific amount of irrigation is determined according to the changes of moisture in the field and the weather. It should be noted that it should not be watered after expansion, as it will affect the sugar absorption of the fruit.

5. Pruning

There are two methods of pruning cantaloupe, according to the actual situation of the soil, double-vine pruning can be used if the soil fertility is good. Pruning is mainly to prevent and control the growth of Hami melon, such as diseased branches, overgrown branches and over-dense branches. And it can also improve the orchard permeability, enhance the photosynthesis of plants, increase the nutrient accumulation of fruit and increase the sugar content of fruit.

The above five points are the field management methods for planting cantaloupe, which is actually the environment needed for the growth of cantaloupe. By controlling these conditions, we can basically achieve half of our planting goals. Only by doing a good job in orchard management and promoting plant growth can we maximize our economic benefits. This is the end of the introduction of cantaloupe field management methods. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and attention.
