What happened to the dead seedlings of cantaloupe?

Hami melon is a variety belonging to the gourd family. Its taste is special compared to other fruits. The flesh is sweet and has more moisture. Hami melon is also rich in nutritional value, hami melon can also be used to extract essential oils, medicine, etc., in beauty medicine and other aspects have a high value. However, in planting Hami melon, there are often cases of dead seedlings. Today, Xiaobian will tell you the reasons for the dead seedlings of Hami melon.

1, humidity is too high

In the process of management of Hami melon, many friends will water a lot of water in the early stage to produce a lot of water in the field. However, Hami melon is a specialty fruit, is a relatively drought-resistant fruit, if too much water will generally rot roots dead seedlings, so in the early stage should not be watered a lot.

2, the temperature is too high

Hami melon is a very sensitive to water fruit, too much water will be rotten roots, resulting in dead seedlings. However, in the case of too high temperature, Hami melon water shortage, roots do not have enough water supply stems and leaves, resulting in no water leaves can not grow normally, and finally the entire seedling withered. Therefore, in the case of insufficient moisture, it should be immediately supplemented to avoid this kind of thing.

3. Excessive fertilizer

Many friends who cultivate Hami melon for the first time do not understand the degree of fertilizer demand of Hami melon, so they often fertilize Hami melon. Cause excessive fertilizer, the substance inside the fertilizer will burn the roots, cause disease, and indirectly lead to the phenomenon of dead seedlings. Hami melon should not apply too much fertilizer, moderate can be.

4. Insufficient light

Due to insufficient light duration during seedling growth, resulting in insufficient temperature. The main symptoms are small rhizomes and thin leaves. Because the roots are small and cannot absorb enough nutrients, the uneven surface of the stem leads to accelerated water loss, and the seedlings lack water and shrivel. In addition, excessive nitrogen content in seedlings and low dicarbohydrate content can also cause disease.

5. Disease hazard

Seedling damping-off is the most devastating disease of Hami melon, which invades the roots of seedlings. Make seedling rootstock rot soft, stem will produce yellow water-stained small spots, in the leaves or green when a large area of death, this pathogen adaptability is strong, usually in the seedling stage invasion, and then make a large area of seedlings lodging. Gray mold invades young leaves when seedlings emerge, causing irregular brown patches on young leaves, similar to damping-off disease.

These are the reasons why Hami melon will die seedlings, most of the reasons are caused by improper management of Hami melon itself. As long as careful maintenance, proper watering and fertilization, the probability of dead seedlings is still very small.
