Planting techniques of Bailan melon

Bailan melon, also known as Lanzhou melon, formerly known as Wallace, originated in the United States, is a kind of melon, its thick skin is sweet, juicy and tender, but also rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron and a variety of vitamins, resistant to storage, deeply loved by consumers. Now widely cultivated throughout the country, the following editor will introduce the planting techniques of Bailan melon.

1. Soil preparation and fertilization

The sandy land with open terrain and superior climate should be selected for low cultivation and intensive cultivation. 2000 kg of mature high-quality farm manure, 25 kg of diammonium phosphate and 100kg of oil or bean dregs should be applied as base fertilizer, and then be leveled and compacted. Spray enough water after covering sand and gravel. If the cultivation technology of small row shed and plastic greenhouse is adopted, it has the advantages of early listing and good quality, and can effectively avoid the peak period of disease and increase economic benefits. The span and length of the greenhouse depend on the plot, and generally buckle the shed 7-10 days before sowing to facilitate the rise of low temperature.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings

Sowing seeds at the beginning of March is appropriate, first of all, soak the seeds in 55 degrees warm water after being wrapped in gauze, then soak them in warm water for 12 hours, and then wash them with clean water. put it at a constant temperature of 25-30 degrees to accelerate germination and sow seeds after reaching the standard. Generally sowing two seeds per hole, the row spacing is controlled at 75 × 85 cm, and about 1300 plants per mu. Immediately after sowing, set up a small shed according to the sowing line in the greenhouse, and tighten and tighten the film. After emergence, with the growth of seedlings, ventilation should be carried out in time, and the temperature in the shed should be controlled at 30-32 degrees. Note that the shed can be gradually removed when the seedlings grow to 5 true leaves.

3. Field management

The cultivation in greenhouse adopts the pruning method of Sun Meng 3Mui 2Mel 1, and artificial pollination should be used at flowering stage to ensure normal melon setting and improve melon setting rate. Pollination time is generally carried out in the morning. At this time, the temperature should be controlled at 30-35 degrees during the day and not less than 15 degrees at night. The ventilation period should be determined according to the growth stage and weather of Bailan melon. With the growth of seedlings and the increase of temperature, the ventilation volume can be increased and the ventilation time can be prolonged. After sitting melon, in order to promote fruit expansion and sugar accumulation, it is necessary to increase ventilation during the day and close at night. In case of overcast and rainy days, attention should be paid to prolonging ventilation time to reduce humidity in the shed.

4. Pest control

The common diseases of Bailan melon are quenching disease, vine blight and powdery mildew. Targeted control measures should be taken. The main goal of quenching disease is to cultivate strong seedlings and do a good job of crop rotation in order to improve plant resistance. When diseased plants are found, mancozeb should be sprayed with mancozeb every 5-7 days, or 100 times formalin solution should be used to smear the diseased place. Powdery mildew is found by spraying carbendazim or methyl topiramate in a timely and comprehensive manner, and can also be sprayed to prevent and cure powdery mildew. The main pests are aphids, which can be controlled by aphids, or sprayed with 1000 times liquid dimethoate.
