Last Updated: 2024/11/22, Enlarging the diurnal temperature difference is beneficial to the accumulation of photosynthates (sugars). In the fruiting period of muskmelon, the diurnal temperature difference should be enlarged as much as possible. Generally, the temperature in the greenhouse is kept at 30 ℃-35 ℃ during the day, 13 ℃-14 ℃ at night, and the temperature difference between day and night is 16 ℃-18 ℃. Less application of chemical fertilizer, heavy application of organic fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer, no or less application of chemical fertilizer is another effective measure to improve the sweetness of muskmelon. Generally, chicken manure and bean cake are the main organic fertilizers, which can be applied per mu.

Less application of chemical fertilizer, heavy application of organic fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer, no or less application of chemical fertilizer is another effective measure to improve the sweetness of muskmelon. General organic fertilizer to chicken manure, bean cake-based, can be 15 cubic meters per mu of chicken manure, bean cake 100-150 kg.

Results the sweetness of muskmelon decreased significantly under the condition of high soil nitrogen and low potassium. Therefore, the amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be reduced and potassium fertilizer should be increased during the melon fruiting period. Potash fertilizer 8-10 kg per mu or high potassium compound fertilizer 20 kg per mu can be applied in the early stage of melon.

Excessive soil moisture before melon ripening will not only reduce the sweetness of muskmelon, but also prone to "rotten melon". In particular, melons must pay attention to water control within 10 days before ripening.

Keep sufficient light shed film to wipe frequently, muskmelon around the shaded leaves should pay attention to thinning, in order to enhance the light transmittance between plants.

In general, it takes 30-35 days for melon to fully mature, high sugar content and good flavor. However, at present, some melon farmers often harvest early in order to go on the market early, which seriously reduces the sweetness of melons. Therefore, timely harvest is the most basic measure to ensure the sweetness of muskmelon.
