Cultivation techniques of discolored melon

Color-changing melon, also known as golden mango melon, is a kind of herb edible vegetable melon, color-changed melon has many different colors, and looks like a mouse in the distance, so it is also called mouse melon. Discolored melon has a certain nutritional value, is a relatively strange melons and vegetables, has a certain nutritional value, but also has a part of the cultivation area in our country. So how to cultivate discolored melons? The following editor brings you the cultivation techniques of discolored melons, let's have a look!

1. Land selection and preparation

The root of the color melon is very developed, so the requirement of the soil is low, and it can grow normally in most of the soil. But if you want to increase the yield, you should try to plant it on sandy soil and have a good drainage and irrigation system. And it is not suitable for continuous cropping, and the previous crops are suitable for wheat, corn and other food crops. After selecting the site, turn the soil deeply in autumn and winter, no less than 20 cm deep, mature the soil, increase water content, kill germs and eggs, and then apply sufficient base fertilizer to do a good job of ridging and suppression in early spring. Attention should be paid to whether there are residual herbicides in the soil, and if so, they should be removed in time to prevent drug damage caused by discolored melons in planting.

2. Accelerating germination and sowing

Before sowing, it is necessary to do a good job of seed soaking and germination, and first stir the seeds in warm water of about 50 degrees for about 12 minutes. When the temperature drops to about 35 degrees, soak the seeds for about 7 hours. Then take it out with a wet cloth and put it in an environment with a temperature of about 25 degrees to sprout. Need to wash with about 30 degrees warm water once a day, until the germination rate reaches 85%, grow small buds before sowing. Pay attention to the depth when sowing, not too deep, keep it at about 10 centimeters, and the temperature should not be lower than 8 degrees and higher than 10 degrees. Control the sowing density, dig the planting hole, put the seed flat, promote the root to take root, cover the fine soil after sowing, conserve water and fertilizer.

3. Set up a frame and tie a vine

Because the discolored melon is a kind of vine plant, it needs to build a frame to help the discolored melon grow, which begins when the discolored melon seedlings grow to about 24 cm. A ploughing and weeding work should be carried out before setting up the shelf, and together with watering, it is easy to stabilize the shelf. Pay attention to the distance between the pole and the seedlings, at least 8 cm together, using the "human" shape of the scaffolding method, is the most stable. After setting up the frame, do a good job of binding the vine, remove the tendrils of the melon when binding the vine, reduce the height of the plant, and prevent the phenomenon of excessive growth. Proper binding of vines can improve the growth of discolored melons and ensure yield.

4. Adjust the plant

The plant adjustment of discolored melon is a necessary work in the process of planting, because proper adjustment can change the leaf area and growth space of the plant. To improve the growth of discolored melon and reduce the consumption of nutrition, the nutrition is concentrated on the melon, which is beneficial to enhance the quality and yield of discolored melon. Timely thinning of flowers and fruits to ensure that the number of flowers and fruits does not exceed the bearing range of the plant, and when the leaves of discolored melons increase, the growing points of the main vines are removed in time to prevent reproductive growth and promote vegetative growth. There are many ways to adjust the plant, mainly according to the plant growth and tree shape.

The above is the editor's brief introduction to the cultivation techniques of discolored melon, which is actually not difficult. However, due to the small number of people and areas planted in our country, there is not a fully mature cultivation technology. And in the growth, management is also very important, which we need to pay attention to before planting. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
