How to choose perfume melon seeds?

Before raising seedlings, the first choice is to select good seeds, and it is recommended to choose seed varieties suitable for local planting.

What are the methods of raising seedlings?

1. Allocation of nutrient soil

Nutrient soil requires fertile and loose, generally can be prepared with field soil, paddy field soil, river bay soil, fully mature livestock, poultry manure, etc. The proportion is generally soil: farm fertilizer = 6:4 or 7:3. During preparation, the soil block was broken and screened, and 500g urea, 1000g calcium superphosphate and 1000g potassium sulfate were mixed evenly per m3 of soil.

2. Sowing time

After selecting the seeds and preparing the seedling soil, it is necessary to prepare for sowing. Seeds must undergo seed selection, seed drying, disinfection, seed soaking and germination treatment. Before sowing, pour enough bottom water into the nutrition bowl, sow 1-2 seeds in each nutrition bowl, and put the seeds flat in the bowl. The sowing time can generally be chosen to sow in late February and early March.

3. Temperature and humidity management

From seed sowing to unearthing, the bed temperature is required to be higher, generally about 30 ℃, in order to promote the emergence of buds. After emergence, the temperature was decreased and the overgrowth was controlled, 22-25 ℃ in daytime and 18-20 ℃ at night, and then slightly increased after the appearance of true leaves to promote seedling growth, 26-28 ℃ in daytime and 20-22 ℃ at night. In addition, when raising seedlings in a nutrition bowl, the seedlings are generally not watered after pouring enough bottom water when sowing, until before emergence. In the cotyledon flattening stage, the ground was controlled to see dry and wet, mainly to preserve soil moisture, and the air relative humidity was maintained at about 80%.

4. Lighting management

Use the new film as much as possible to maintain the cleanliness of the film and increase the light transmittance. The curtain should also be opened on a cloudy day to make the seedlings receive as much scattered light as possible and slit to drain moisture. Once the weather clears up, it should be avoided and there should be a stage of adaptation.

5. Timely planting

5-7 days before planting, we began to refine the seedlings, stop spraying water and fertilize, increase the amount of air release, gradually make the melon seedlings adapt to the open environment and improve the survival rate.
