Open-field muskmelon sowing method: open-field muskmelon is cultivated in dry ponds covered with plastic film. Generally, the pond is 0.5 meters wide, 1.5-1.8 meters deep and 20 centimeters deep to the north and south. Before ridging, small ploughing and trenching (8-10 centimeters) is applied on both sides of the dry pond, which is 30 centimeters away from the edge of the ridge. The upper mouth of the ditch is 50 centimeters wide and 50 centimeters deep. Fertilization is mainly based on organic fertilizer and appropriate amount of chemical fertilizer is applied to implement balanced fertilization to control the amount of nitrogen fertilizer. The ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 1:2:1, and 4000-6000 kg of organic fertilizer is applied per mu before sowing. 20-30 kg of diammonium phosphate, 10 kg of urea and 10-15 kg of potassium sulfate are applied. The direct broadcast method is adopted. First dig holes in the sowing position, hole depth 6-8 cm, each hole 2-3 seeds, plant distance 0.5-0.4 m cover soil 1-1.5 cm, then cover 90 cm wide plastic film, or mulch first and then sow.
