The latest propagation method of bergamot melon

Bergamot melon is a plant of Cucurbitaceae, which is widely distributed in the south of China. The nutritional value of bergamot melon is relatively high, which is rich in protein, fat and other nutrients. Now the planting area of bergamot melon is also getting larger and larger. So how do we breed when we plant bergamot melon? The following editor brings you the breeding method of bergamot melon, let's have a look!

1. Whole melon propagation

Whole melon propagation is the main propagation method of bergamot melon. First of all, we need to choose a high-quality melon, to ensure that there are no obvious wounds, no frostbite and no diseases and insect pests. Keep the weight at about 250g, then put the melon in the wet sand to maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity. The temperature is controlled at about 16 degrees, and after about two weeks, the top of the melon will begin to sprout. When most melons sprout, they can be properly transplanted into the soil. When transplanting, put the sprouting part upward, maintain a certain inclination, and do a good job of management.

2. Seed propagation

Seed reproduction begins with the extraction of complete seeds from melons. After the seed is taken, the outer coat of the seed is separated and the seed nucleus is retained. If the seed is relatively dry, then it should be eliminated as soon as possible, not only the germination rate is low, but also the growth ability of the plant is also very weak. Then soak the high-quality seeds in warm water for about 1-2 hours and do the work of sprouting. Then sow seeds at the right time according to the environment, budding and so on. After sowing, the soil should be covered with plastic film to improve the heat preservation and moisture retention capacity of the soil, and the temperature should be controlled at about 20 degrees. After proper watering, seedlings can emerge in about an hour or so.

3. Cuttage propagation

Cutting propagation is suitable for the reproduction of many plants, of course, bergamot melon is no exception. First of all, a plant with strong growth and free of diseases and insect pests should be selected as the mother plant. Then cut the branches on the plant as cuttings, and smear appropriate amount of rooting powder in the cutting incision to improve the rooting rate of cuttings. Then insert the cuttings into the cutting substrate, the substrate should ensure sufficient fertility, normal drainage and irrigation and thick and soft. Control the cutting density, then pour enough water, and the temperature is kept at about 22 degrees. In this way, the rooting rate can reach 80%, and it can take root in about 7 days.

The above is a brief introduction to the breeding methods of bergamot melon. There are many breeding methods of bergamot melon, mainly according to their own planting habits, environment and other reasonable selection of breeding methods. This is the end of today's introduction, this article is for reference only, I hope it can be helpful to everyone!
