The reasons and preventive methods of balsam pear not bearing melon

Balsam pear is a common vegetable in our life, it has the role of heat-clearing and detoxification, fire and vision, and is deeply loved by people. The economic benefit of balsam pear is also relatively high, and there are more growers, but there will be no melon when planting, which gives farmers a headache. Let's take a look at the specific reasons with Xiaobian.

1. Melons

Balsam pear is a common phenomenon, balsam pear blossoms a lot, but after the female flower, the young melon does not expand, but gradually shrinks, this is the phenomenon of balsam pear. The main cause of balsam pear is the lack of light in the flowering period, causing the leaves can not carry out normal photosynthesis, leading to melon, in addition, poor pollination or root melon is not picked in time, resulting in the normal growth and development of melon.

Prevention: in the flowering period of balsam pear to increase the light conditions, properly remove some leaves, increase the light transmittance between plants, can effectively reduce the phenomenon of melons. For the fields with poor pollination, artificial pollination can be used to improve the melon setting rate, and the melons that have grown and mature should be picked in time.

2. Flourish and grow

Vigorous growth is also one of the main reasons why balsam pear does not bear melon, the plant stem is stout, the leaves are thick, the growth is excellent, only male flowers, the number of female flowers is very small, resulting in very low or no melon sitting rate. The main reason is due to improper fertilization and high temperature, many farmers in order to promote plant growth, often partial application of nitrogen fertilizer, very easy to lead to plant growth, in addition, high temperature will also promote plant growth, if not controlled, it will lead to overgrowth.

Prevention method: pay attention to the balanced collocation of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium when fertilizing, and strengthen ventilation or spray to cool down at high temperature. when the plant is flourishing, some lateral vines can be removed to reduce nutrient consumption, and at the same time, the concentration of exuberant can be accurately matched. In the way of artificial pollination, the male flowers were removed and the female flowers were pollinated to improve the melon setting rate.
