Seedling raising techniques of muskmelon

Muskmelon has a wide range of distribution in various parts of our country, and it is a very common fruit. Wild numbers can be seen in rural areas and even on rural roads. Muskmelon is rich in carbohydrates and vitamin C, which is a kind of fruit with high nutritional value. Now the area of artificial planting is getting wider and wider, so how should we raise seedlings before planting? The following editor brings you the seedling technology of muskmelon, let's have a look!

1. Seed selection and drying

Take out seeds from pest-free and robust fruits. When selecting seeds, you should be careful not to get dirty, and choose full seeds with little difference in size. Then wash the seeds with clean water to wash the pulp and mucus from the seed coat. Then put the washed seeds evenly on the plastic film on a sunny day to dry the seeds. When drying the seeds, turn the seeds regularly to ensure that the seeds receive light evenly and improve the effect of drying the seeds. The main purpose of drying seeds is to improve the germination rate of seeds and promote the germination and emergence of seedlings.

2. Seed treatment

After drying the seeds, soak the seeds in warm water of about 58 degrees. In the process of seed soaking, the seeds should be stirred constantly to ensure that the seeds are heated evenly. After the water temperature becomes low in the process of seed soaking, it should be heated to the appropriate temperature in time, and the air-dried water should be removed in about 30 minutes. Then put the seeds in a prepared easy, pour into about 25 degrees warm water, soak it for about 7 hours. After soaking the seeds, remove the mucus left on the seed coat, wrap it in a wet cloth, put it in an environment of about 28 degrees to promote germination, and sow seeds in time when the radicle grows.

3. Sowing seeds at the right time

After finishing all the preparatory work, and then sowing seeds at the right time, we must first tidy up the seedling bed, prepare a good nutrition bowl, and apply sufficient base fertilizer. Then control the planting density and sow seeds at the right time, put 1-2 seeds in a nutrition bowl when sowing, cover fine soil after sowing, pour enough water, promote seed germination, and then cover with a layer of plastic film. To strengthen field management, except for not watering once after sowing, there is no need to water before seedling emergence. Keep the temperature at about 28 degrees, do a good job of warming up, and provide a sufficient condition for seed germination and emergence.

4. Seedling stage management

After the successful emergence of the seeds, the temperature should be controlled at about 24 degrees, not too high or too low, and the highest temperature should not exceed 31 degrees. Do a good job of heat preservation when the temperature is lower than 8 degrees at night, and observe the situation in the field after emergence and find that the soil should be properly watered when it is bleached. Then control the amount of water a week before planting. Do a good job of ventilation in the greenhouse to prevent the seedlings from growing and affect the growth of melons. When the seedlings grow to about 5 leaves, they can be transplanted and planted at the right time.

The above is a brief introduction of muskmelon seedling technology, muskmelon growth ability is relatively strong, and its high yield and good quality. However, after planting, we should also do a good job in field management to ensure the healthy growth of melons.
