Field management methods of muskmelon in spring

Melon is also known as cantaloupe, apple melon, etc., there was a large area of wild quantity before, but with the taste and value of melon discovered by people after the market demand is increasing, there is a phenomenon of short supply. Therefore, a large number of artificial planting began, and the planting area became wider and wider. However, the quality of melon is directly proportional to maturity, and many friends do not know how to manage it to better improve the quality of melon. The following is a brief introduction to the field management methods of spring melon.

1, pruning hanging vine

Spring planting melon needs to use a single vine pruning method, that is, the main vine will remain for growth and development, well-growing plants need to remove all the lateral branches on the cotyledon node, the side vine shall not exceed 4. If the growth is weak, you can increase the lateral vines on the cotyledon nodes to about 6, then remove all the rest, and pinch 2-3 leaves of the lateral vines, which can promote the nutrient absorption of the plants and enhance the growth.

2. Temperature management

Melon is a kind of thermophilic fruit, the appropriate temperature during the day at about 25 degrees, at night can not be lower than 15 higher than 18. If the temperature is higher than 35 degrees or lower than 10 degrees, it will have a great impact on the fruit setting and swelling of melon. So be sure to control its ambient temperature. The lowest temperature at night can be around 10-12 degrees, and the large temperature difference between day and night can increase the sugar accumulation of fruits.

3. Fruit setting and leaf beating

Hormone treatment and artificial pollination can be carried out on muskmelon with high-yield agent mixed with water at 4-10 o 'clock in the morning every day. With the fruit setting of muskmelon, the growth and development of muskmelon have gradually aged the leaves at the lower part of muskmelon, and the intensity of photosynthesis has little effect or can not carry out photosynthesis. And it will also affect the permeability between plants, so the lower aged leaves should be removed in time, but it is necessary to pay attention to the time and quantity.

4. Keep melon and choose melon

Low node position of sitting melon will eventually lead to low yield of small melon, while high node position of sitting melon will lead to high yield of large melon, but low sugar content. Therefore, the node of sitting melon should be in the middle position, usually between 10-15 leaves of the plant. When the young melon grows to the size of a walnut, choose one or two melons with better melons, remove the rest, increase the nutritional area of the fruit, and use the substances produced by photosynthesis to transport them nearby.

5. Water and fertilizer management

Melons generally need a lot of fertilizer and water, in melon after about a week to start watering seedlings, and then according to the soil conditions and growth began watering. If the growth is weak, you can apply 10 jin of urea per mu, but it is not advisable to water when flowering, pollination and fruit setting, because it may cause excessive growth of stems and leaves and then lead to poor fruit setting. When applying fertilizer, we should pay attention to the mixture of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and apply more foliar fertilizer to improve yield and quality.

These are the management methods of melon. To obtain high-yield melon, we must first control water, fertilizer and temperature. These conditions must not be careless. Because they all determine the fruit setting and pollination of melon, but also pay close attention to melon diseases and insect pests, all fruits are the same, diseases and insect pests will seriously harm their growth. Orchards are disinfected regularly and sick branches are cleaned up. I hope I can help everyone.
