How to prevent pumpkins from turning into melons

Pumpkin is a common melon vegetable in our life, whether it is stir-frying or processed into pumpkin pie, it is very popular. China's pumpkin planting technology is also relatively mature, forming an industrial chain, but although the technology is mature, many people will still encounter a lot of problems when planting. Hua melon is a kind of melon, which means that the pumpkin dies when it is still young, which has a great impact on the yield. So how can we prevent pumpkins from turning into melons? Details are as follows:

1. Fertilizer and water management

Good fertilizer and water management is the key. Generally speaking, pumpkins do not need to be fertilized and watered during the flowering and fruiting period to prevent the phenomenon of overgrowing vines. If there is still the phenomenon of overgrowth of vines, then we can use dwarf solution to irrigate the roots of pumpkins to inhibit the growth of vines. Then, when 1 or 2 young melons are grown, in order to improve the survival rate and fruit setting rate, fertilizer should be applied in time, and the specific amount of fertilizer application depends on the growth process and the fertility of the soil. And in the later stage of growth, it was found that the color of pumpkin leaves gradually faded, and when they began to turn yellow, they should also be fertilized in time.

2. Artificial pollination

Pumpkins are cross-pollinated crops, usually pollinated by a variety of insects. But sometimes the success rate of insect pollination is not high, and sometimes there are no insects. So at this time we need to carry out artificial pollination, artificial pollination should be carried out in the morning, try to choose before 8 o'clock, the weather is the most suitable. If the number of pumpkin male flowers is small or not, pumpkin pollen can be used appropriately. After pollination is successful, wait until the pumpkin grows true leaves, spray it with ethephon and other agents, and spray it again half a month later. It can promote growth and increase the rate of melon setting.

3. Pruning and pressing vine

The pumpkin plant should be pruned properly, but pay attention to the operation when pruning to prevent the plant from unnecessary injury, produce wounds, and affect the growth of pumpkin. Wait until the main vine extends to 60 cm, to start the first pressure vine work, and then according to the growth length of the vine timely pressure vine, generally press 3-4 times. Try to keep one melon for each vine. If there are two or more young melons, choose the melon with the best growth and the largest size, and then remove all the excess melons, remove the side vines, and carry out the work of topping and heart-picking.

4. Pest control

Suffering from diseases and insect pests will also do great harm to the survival of young melons, often inspect the melon garden, regularly disinfect the melon garden, and deal with abnormal situations in a timely manner. Special attention should be paid to the prevention and control of aphids, which can be controlled by drugs such as rehabilitation, because aphids not only eat pumpkin plants, but also infect disease germs, resulting in multi-disease complications. It is necessary to make preparations for all kinds of diseases and insect pests and treat them in time after the occurrence of diseases and insect pests. Strengthen the management of melon garden, ensure the surrounding environment, in order to effectively prevent melon.

The above four points are the main ways to prevent pumpkins from turning into melons, which can lead to death in the period of young melons, which have a serious impact on pumpkin production and may even lead to extinction. Therefore, we should do a good job in the management of the melon garden, improve the resistance of the plant, and ensure the melon sitting rate of the pumpkin. In order to reduce the occurrence of melon phenomenon. That's all for today's introduction. Thank you for your reading and support.
