The temperature is low in winter, so the first thing to do in planting balsam pear in winter is to control the temperature. Balsam pear likes temperature and light. During the fruit-setting period, balsam pear is more sensitive to temperature changes. During the day, the temperature should be controlled at about 28 degrees, which should not be too high. At night, it should be kept at about 12 degrees. If it is lower than 12 degrees, it will hinder the flower bud differentiation of balsam pear, resulting in a decrease in the rate of blooming and fruiting of balsam pear and uneven growth of balsam pear. So in winter, while ensuring the temperature, there is timely ventilation to ensure the normal growth of balsam pear.

Drip irrigation is the main method of watering, about once every three weeks, and a small amount of compound fertilizer is applied when watering. At this time, fertilization is for the purpose of promoting the rooting of balsam pear. Increase the soil temperature and promote the growth of new roots, but we should pay attention to the amount of fertilizer, not too much, because the temperature of compound fertilizer is too low, excessive application can easily lead to freezing injury of balsam pear.

4. Disease control

If the temperature is low in winter, the pests basically survive the winter and will not cause any harm to the plants, but if they are not managed properly, they will still suffer from diseases. The diseases promoted in winter are spot disease and powdery mildew, which are mainly used in prevention and control, and then do a good job in clearing the garden. the melon garden should be observed frequently, and corresponding measures should be taken in time to detect and treat them as soon as possible.
