Causes and control methods of cracked Hami melon

Cantaloupe is a kind of fruit that people like very much, especially the cantaloupe in the area. However, the phenomenon of cracking melon often occurs in the growth process of cantaloupe, which will seriously affect the yield of cantaloupe, thus causing the price of cantaloupe to be sky-high in the market. so today we are going to learn what causes the cantaloupe to produce cracked melon? How can we prevent this kind of cracked melon phenomenon?

Cracked melon symptom

The cracking period of cantaloupe can be said to have started from the time when the melon grew and lasted until the cantaloupe matured, which greatly reduced the yield of cantaloupe. The initial symptoms of cracked melons are that there are many small and fine cracked lines, then slowly become more obvious, and finally slowly split along the lines, which may only be the peel at first, and finally may be as deep as the flesh, or even split into several parts.

Cause of cracking melon

When planting cantaloupe, some seedlings are already very long and some are relatively shallow, coupled with a late fertilization and other reasons, some have already blossomed and some are still growing seedlings, but because they are in the same field, they are managed in the same way, resulting in cracking due to excess water or fertility of the first melon. The second is that it has not rained for a long time, and suddenly there is heavy rain one day, which will also lead to cracked melons. Finally, both temperature and light will cause melon cracking, and the temperature difference varies greatly. for example, melon cracks will occur when the original temperature is 37 or 8 degrees and only about ten degrees drop in the evening. The light time should not be too long. The light should not be too strong.

Prevention and cure method

In order to avoid cracking caused by sudden excessive moisture, we should water cantaloupe scientifically. When watering cantaloupe, we should pay attention to watering cantaloupe several times to replenish the moisture in the soil and slowly reach a balance. In order to avoid excessive moisture caused by the weather, we should pay more attention to the field management and dredge the drainage ditch in the field every time, so as to avoid melon cracking caused by too late treatment when the heavy rain comes. When we find that the two cracked melons appear in the field, it is necessary to break the basic parts of the melons in time, and they will return to normal in a few days, or dig out some roots and retain only a small part of the roots that can provide nutrients and moisture for the growth of melons. We all know that the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, so we need to adjust the temperature manually to keep the temperature in a balanced state. When the cantaloupe is ripe, it is generally caused by improper picking, so be careful not to encounter those immature melons, otherwise they will also cause melons to crack.

Cantaloupe should be planted with special care, so it is doomed to its price in the market, because its price should be equal to its labor, ah, of course, as long as we are more careful, basically there will be no melon split. Does everyone know why cantaloupe cracked and how to control it? I hope it can help you, at the same time, we have more interesting things on the pro-farm network.
