Field management of muskmelon and control of diseases and insect pests

Cantaloupe, also known as cantaloupe, tastes very sweet and tastes great. I remember that when I was a child, I also ate cantaloupe every day and planted cantaloupe in the yard of my hometown. It tastes very sweet and delicious in summer, so how should the field management of cantaloupe planting be done? What are the prevention and control methods of diseases and insect pests? Next Shuai Shuai will tell you about it!

I. Field management

1. Seedling stage management

The emergence period of cantaloupe is before the late frost. Generally speaking, it is necessary to do a good job of anti-scalding seedlings after seconds. Ten centimeters of branches can be used to prop up the membrane, which can not only prevent scalding seedlings, but also prevent frost injury and kill two birds with one stone. If the cultivation method of double-layer covering in the arch shed is used, the bamboo bracket can be removed after the evening.

2. Colonization

When the seedlings grow to 1-2 true leaves, you can carry out the first seedling, pick out 2 strong seedlings in each hole, then loosen the soil when waiting for the seedlings, and then distribute soil in the lower part of the seedlings to prevent damage to the seedlings. leave a healthy seedling in each hole when three true leaves are grown.

3. Irrigation and topdressing

Topdressing can be carried out when the seedlings grow to 4-5 true leaves, and the methods of topdressing can be divided into two methods: hole application and furrow application. Hole application is to top fertilizer under each melon seedling, and the other is to top fertilizer in the inclined trench at the wall of the furrow. Topdressing can also be carried out in the ridge and furrow, covering soil and water after topdressing, muskmelon does not need to be irrigated during the seedling period and irrigated for the first time after picking shoots. When it grows to the size of an egg, it can be irrigated for the second time, irrigated for the third time during the expansion period, and not irrigated until it is mature, otherwise it will lead to a decrease in sugar content and make it not sweet to eat.

4. Pruning

When the melon seedling grows to four to five true leaves, it is beneficial to the growth of lateral buds, provides more nutrients to the fruit, and makes the fruit develop better. The three vines at the base are removed to promote the growth of the sun vine. At the same time, we should also wait for the sun vine to produce buds. In order not to damage its stems and leaves, it is no longer necessary to prune it after this pruning and let it grow freely.

II. Disease and pest control

1. Powdery mildew

Powdery mildew can be controlled by spraying with nifezole solution and baking soda.

2. Downy mildew

For the prevention and control of downy mildew, dew wettable powder or enylmorpholine solution can be used to control downy mildew.

3. Fusarium wilt

It can be sprayed with Kangkuling solution, carbendazim and complex ammonia copper solution.

The above is the cantaloupe field management and pest control, cantaloupe planting is very simple, mainly in the seedling stage care and late field management work to do a good job, in order to make cantaloupe planting better.
