A good way to prevent small fruits and cracking of melons

With the rise of temperature, muskmelon grows rapidly and has reached a critical period of field management. Recently, some farmers reflected that melons appear in the growth process and fruit cracking phenomenon, how to solve it? Prevent the early stage of small fruit to strengthen fertilizer and water management and promote vegetative growth. According to the characteristics of varieties and cultivation methods, pruning reasonably and controlling the fruiting position. Generally, there are 1-2 fruits per plant. When the growth potential of the plant is weak, the young fruit can be removed, the vegetative growth can be promoted and the fruit can be delayed. For plants with exuberant growth, artificial pollination should be used to promote fruit setting. At 6: 00-8: 00 every morning, use the male flowers blooming on the same day to order the female flowers on the same day, gently touch them twice, and carry out artificial pollination. Reasonable irrigation to prevent fruit cracking, pay attention to irrigation period and amount of irrigation. On the one hand, it is necessary to timely water the expanded melon to promote the expansion of the melon fruit; on the other hand, after pouring the expanded melon water, do not pour heavy water, especially about 10 days before picking, try not to water the melon to prevent cracking. Scientific fertilization. Timely topdressing in the late growth stage of muskmelon can meet the fertilizer requirements of muskmelon growth in the later stage. Protect the leaves. Pay attention to protect the leaves near the fruit and use them to block the sun for the fruit to avoid cracking due to the aging of the pericarp caused by direct sunlight. Can cover grass and leaves on the fruit to avoid early hardening of the pericarp. Spray trace elements. After sitting melon, combined with watering, foliar spraying was carried out with 0.3% calcium chloride and 0.12% murine 0.25% boric acid solution, once every 7 days, 2-3 times in succession, to supplement the deficiency of trace elements.
