Matters needing attention in planting bergamot

Bergamot melon originated in Mexico and was introduced into China in the early 19th century. Bergamot melon is the most widely cultivated in the south of China. You may not have heard of bergamot melon, but most of them have eaten it. The meat of bergamot melon is very fresh and tender, contains high nutritional value, and has a good effect on enhancing the resistance of the human body. So what should we pay attention to when planting bergamot melon? Today, the editor brought some precautions for planting bergamot melons. Let's have a look!

1. Temperature

Bergamot is more resistant to high temperature, the temperature for normal growth and development can not be lower than 20 degrees, the most suitable temperature for bergamot growth is about 25 degrees, if the ground temperature is less than 5 degrees, bergamot will not be able to grow and lead to death. However, the temperature should not be too high, beyond the suitable temperature range of bergamot melon, its growth rate will obviously slow down and affect its growth.

2. Lighting

Bergamot melon does not have a great demand for light, it is a vegetable with short sunshine, but it still needs a certain amount of light, if several hours of light time is not satisfied. Then its growth rate will gradually slow down, and photosynthesis will also decrease, unable to produce enough nutrients to hinder its growth and development.

3. Moisture

The growth of bergamot melon needs a lot of water, especially in summer every year, if there is no higher water content, then its growth and development will also be affected. To ensure the relative humidity in the air and enough moisture in the soil, if not satisfied, the stems of bergamot will stop growing, the leaves will change color, and if in the flowering and fruiting stage, not enough moisture will also affect the rate of flowering and fruiting.

4. Soil

The cultivation of bergamot melon has no strict requirements on the soil, but the fertile soil, deep and loose soil is more suitable for its growth. Therefore, when choosing soil to build a garden, we should try to meet the requirements mentioned above, the nitrogen element in the soil should not be too much, avoid the phenomenon of overgrowth of plants, and it is the same when fertilizing, we should pay attention to the balance of nutrition.

5. Raising seedlings

There is only one seed in each fruit of bergamot, and the germination rate is not high, because it is difficult to separate the seed coat from the pulp, so we have to germinate and sow with multiple seeds at the same time. Before sowing seeds, we should do a good job of soaking seeds and raising seedlings, and slightly open the seed coat with a knife, which is conducive to germination. Put it into the planting hole, cover about 3 cm of soil, bury the melon in the soil about 1 to 3, and accelerate its germination.

6. Water and fertilizer

Bergamot melon before June to control the amount of water, after June, is the rapid growth stage of bergamot melon, at this time to ensure that the soil is always in a wet state. Generally speaking, it is necessary to fertilize once after planting. Bergamot melon needs a large amount of fertilizer, and topdressing work is carried out almost once a month. General topdressing in 50-70cm away from the plant to dig trenches to fertilize, can be used farm manure or compound fertilizer. The distance needs to be lengthened with the time of growth.

Well, these are the things we need to pay attention to when planting bergamot melons, although the current market demand for bergamot melons is not very clear. But after all, China is a "gourmet country" bergamot market will gradually increase, the editor believes that it is still very promising, so we can consider it conditionally! That's all for today's introduction. I hope this article can help you all.
