It is widely cultivated in various parts of our country. Hami is the most famous in Xinjiang, and is rich in variety resources. According to the maturity period, it can be divided into early-maturing, medium-maturing and late-maturing varieties. Let's take a look at the seed price and planting methods of Hami melon.

Sowing method of cantaloupe

1. Trench: cantaloupe seeds should be ditched more than 10 days before sowing in order to have sufficient time to dry the ditch. Open the north-south ditch, the distance between the two ditches is 3.8 to 4 meters, the width of the trench is 1.2 meters, the width at the bottom is 0.5 meters, and the depth is 35 to 40 centimeters.

2. Film laying: cantaloupe should be covered before sowing. The width of the film is 60cm to 70cm. Before the film is laid, the sowing belt is 30cm, and the film is laid on the same horizontal line. Ensure that there is a daylighting surface of 30cm to 40cm at the top.

3. Sowing: Hami melon is generally sown on demand on the film, and the sowing points should be placed 15 cm from the ditch with a depth of 3 cm. Each hole should sow 2-3 seeds. After sowing, water should be poured in time to preserve soil moisture, and soil moisture should be checked and replenished at any time for sandy plots.

Seedling raising methods of Hami Melon

1. Water management: the moisture of Hami melon should be strictly controlled at the seedling stage, and appropriate watering should be carried out according to the degree of dryness and wetness of the seedling bed before noon on a sunny day. After watering, the water on the plant surface and soil surface is evaporated, and then covered with plastic film.

2. Temperature management: Hami melon seedlings in spring emphasize heat preservation and disease prevention, the seedling bed is covered with multi-film, and the ground is covered with electric heating line, which is usually managed by the method of "two high and two low".

3. Ventilation and humidity reduction: within the permitted range of bed temperature, the plastic film in the small ring shed should be opened as far as possible to increase ventilation and reduce the air humidity of the seedling bed. Cloudy and rainy weather should also be ventilated for a short time before and after noon to reduce humidity and increase light.

4. Check seedling and replant: check seedling and replant Hami melon in time after sowing, set seedling when 2 true leaves, go small and stay big, go weak and stay strong. At the same time, to cultivate the soil at the seedling stage, the clods can also be placed in the upwind to block the seedlings and prevent the wind from pressing the soil.

5. timely determination of seedlings: Hami melon seedlings should be determined according to the characteristics of varieties and soil fertility, usually the plant spacing is 35cm to 45cm, and the number of seedlings per mu is 750,850.

Planting methods of cantaloupe

1. Field selection: no melon stubble and continuous cropping plots should be selected in Hami melon cultivation. Rice stubble fields with no melons in 3 years, high topography and good drainage should be selected. Sandy soil with rich organic matter and good permeability is the first choice for planting Hami melon.

2. Apply sufficient base fertilizer: ploughing cantaloupe should be ploughed one month before planting, and the ploughing depth should be 25 to 30 centimeters, and the matching ditch should be opened and sufficient base fertilizer should be applied at one time, 1000 kg of commercial organic fertilizer per mu, 30 kg of potassium sulfate ternary compound fertilizer and 50 kg of calcium superphosphate.

3. Land preparation and border preparation: when making a border, cantaloupe must be high and ridged. generally, it should be planted on a shelf for four and crawling for two. The border should be in the shape of a tortoise and covered with plastic film (transparent plastic film in spring), which is beneficial to preserving soil moisture, reducing humidity and preventing grass.

4. Timely planting: Hami melon is generally planted from late February to mid-March, with a distance of about 45 cm, 2 rows per shed and about 500 plants per mu. The distance between vertical cultivation plants is about 40 cm, with 4-5 rows per shed, and about 1100 plants are planted per mu.

5. Reasonable pruning: Hami melon should adopt different pruning methods according to the level of soil fertility, double-vine pruning is used for those with good soil fertility, and single-vine pruning is used for those with poor soil fertility. The middle tillage was carried out 2 or 3 times in front of the irrigation head water, with a depth of 15 cm, to do a good job of weeding.

6. Reasonable topdressing: Hami melon was topdressing once or twice during the melon and fruit expansion period, which could be applied at a hole 30 cm away from the root, 10 kg / mu of compound fertilizer, combined with foliar spraying of potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Stop irrigating 15 days before ripening to prevent fruit cracking.

7. Auxiliary pollination: Hami melon is generally assisted by artificial pollination, which should be carried out at 7: 10 a.m. in spring, select the male flowers blooming on the same plant of the same variety, break off the petals, and apply the stamens evenly and gently on the female flower stigma.

8. Topping and retaining melons: when cantaloupes grow to egg size, one of the correct and robust young melons will be selected according to the growth and development of each fruit, and the rest will be removed, usually topping at 28-30 nodes. Generally, one melon is left in a single vine and two melons are left in two vines.

9, turn melon cushion melon: cantaloupe should be turned every 7 days, turn to 1 direction, turn 1/3 of the surface each time, to prevent spots, it is best to use a small stick to lift the melon in a triangular shape.

10. disease control: the main diseases of Hami melon are bacterial angular spot, downy mildew, Phytophthora, powdery mildew, sunburn, vine blight, etc., and the common diseases are bacterial angular spot and Phytophthora.
