White melon planting method

White melon is an annual trailing herb, which is cultivated all over our country, in which white melon seed is the product of white melon seed processing. White melon is rich in protein and carbohydrates, but also has the medicinal value of relieving annoyance and relieving thirst, diuresis and defecation. There are many friends who want to plant white melons but do not know how to grow them. Today, the editor has brought you the planting method of white melons. Let's take a look!

1. Select superior species

In order to ensure the purity of seeds and the yield and quality of white melons, we must first choose superior seeds. When setting the seedlings, choose the seedlings with little difference in growth, disease-free, harmless and deformed melons. Then, when the plant blossoms and bears fruit, the plant with good growth and moderate position of female flower is selected as the seed plant. And after the fruit, choose the fruit with similar size and good growth, and make a good mark to make it easy to distinguish. Then harvest according to the requirements of planting melons, and do a good job of seed treatment.

2. Sowing seeds at the right time

White melon is a kind of temperature-loving melon crop, which can not grow in cold environment. It is usually cultivated when the temperature rises to about 15 degrees after the frost in the planting land is broken. In the south, it is generally possible to be popular in May-July, and spring sowing before and after Ching Ming Festival, do not sow too early, otherwise the seeds are easy to freeze, the speed of germination is slow or even unable to germinate. The growth after germination will also be seriously hindered, uneven seedlings, which have a great impact on the middle and later development of the plant and the formation of fruit. When planting in areas with heavy rainfall, it is necessary to do a good job of drainage, and in order to increase yield, close planting can be appropriate.

3. Fertilizer and water management

When topdressing white melon, it is necessary to control the proportion and concentration of nutrients in fertilizer according to the nutrient demand of white melon. Use more organic fertilizers and try not to use chemical fertilizers. When preparing the soil, we should apply sufficient base fertilizer, which is mainly agricultural machinery fertilizer and compound fertilizer. The amount of fertilizer required for farming is relatively large, but the application of fertilizer and water should be controlled before the results to prevent overnutrition from causing overgrowth of plants and affecting fruit setting. After setting fruit, it began to increase the amount of fertilizer and water, promote the fruit expansion and maintain the growth of the plant. After expansion, the watering times were reduced to ensure the development of seeds.

4. Timely harvest

The growing period of white melon is not very long, and it usually ripens after a month of flowering. At this time, the fruit is of good quality, the pulp is soft, the stalk gradually collapses, and it is easy to pick, so it is the best time to harvest. However, we still have to harvest timely according to weather changes. For example, spring sowing white melons in the south can usually be harvested around June, but the weather in the south is hot and humid in June. Therefore, in the harvest, quality and quantity, to prevent rotten melons is the key. The waterlogging prevention of white melon is relatively poor, pay attention to drainage and waterlogging prevention before harvest, to prevent stagnant water from causing diseases and insect pests, serious white melon will all rot.

The above is a brief introduction of white melon planting methods, white melon in the growth process should also pay attention to the harm of diseases and insect pests. The common diseases and insect pests of white melon are cotton rot and leaf miner, no matter what diseases and insect pests are not dealt with in time, they all do great harm, resulting in a serious decline in output, or even no harvest, so we must pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests.
