II. Economic benefits of August melon

In August, the yield of melons can reach more than 2500 kg per mu. According to the current market price of 8 yuan per jin, the income per mu is more than 40, 000 yuan, the seeds and seedlings are calculated at 6 yuan per mu, and the land rent is 1980 yuan per mu. According to the first year labor, cultivated land by 1500 yuan, farm manure can go to the nearest farm to get very cheap, it is calculated by 400 yuan per mu of 2000 kilograms per mu, 1500 yuan per mu of cement column and 1000 yuan of iron wire. The total is 6580 yuan, 40000-6580 yuan = 33420 yuan. The benefit is several times or even tens of times that of conventional planting. Although there is no fruit income in the first year, fruit can be sold one after another from the second year, and the seedlings are only invested in the first year. After the third year, the output value will also be higher when it reaches its peak, and the economic potential of planting is quite huge.

Third, the propagation mode of August melon.

1. Seed propagation. When the fruits are ripe in August from September to October, pick the August fruits, eat the flesh, and leave the seeds to sow in autumn. The seeds are first scrubbed with boiling water, rinsed with clean water, drained, and sowed in the arranged seedbed in time. Seed propagation is simple and easy, and the seedlings bred bear fruit late, usually after 3 years. It is generally not used in production.

2. Reproduce by burying strips. The stem of melon vine has strong sprouting power in August. 1-2-year-old branches are selected and buried in the soil. They can take root after 1 month, and can be propagated all the year round. Generally, it can blossom and bear fruit in the second year after planting.

3. Root-splitting propagation. Root-splitting propagation takes place before sprouting in early spring. A bag of August melons are divided into several plants by hand from the roots. The current result of planting in the current year without pruning the branches.

4. Cuttings propagate. It can be inserted all the year round. Choose 1-2-year-old branches with strong growth and no diseases and insect pests, cut them into 10-meter-long branches, and insert them into the arranged seedbed. Pay attention to water stains, shading and drought prevention. If possible, ABT2 rooting powder can be used to soak the branches and vines, and the survival rate can be increased to 100%.
