Field management of bergamot melon

Bergamot melon is a kind of perennial vegetable of Cucurbitaceae, which can also be eaten as fruit. It is generally planted in the south, grows well and contains a variety of trace elements, so it is loved by many people. The cultivation of bergamot melon focuses on management, and general management is the premise of high yield, so today we write a special article to introduce the field management techniques of bergamot melon.

Temperature and light

The most suitable temperature for long leaves to grow on the ground is between 15 and 25 degrees, and the flowering temperature should be kept between 20 and 30 degrees during flowering, and then in the fruiting period, the lowest temperature is about 20 degrees and the highest is 32 degrees. No matter how low it is, it will stop growing and drop fruit. The growth of bergamot melon needs sufficient light intensity and hours, generally the open field growth can reach the normal growth in summer, but the greenhouse planting can adjust itself.

II. Fertilization and irrigation

The application of base fertilizer is about 2000 jin per mu, and the application of sufficient base fertilizer is beneficial to growth, which can avoid the phenomenon of fertilizer deficiency in the seedling stage. if there is no shortage of fertilizer in the seedling stage, there is no need to apply fertilizer, and it can be watered and irrigated once after the slow seedling stage. The main topdressing is used in the flowering and fruiting period, generally applying 100 jin of quick-acting compound fertilizer per mu at a time, and the whole fruiting period is about once a month, because there are many results in batches, which requires a lot of nutrients and water. So it is necessary to irrigate every other week during the fruiting period and keep it dry and wet consistently. But the flowering period should be watered less to avoid falling flowers.

III. Weeding on cultivated land

After planting and watering at the slow seedling stage, the weeds in the soil germinate, because they are too small to be pulled out manually, herbicides must be sprayed in time, low toxic pesticides will not hurt the seedlings, and the weeds will die thoroughly. In prosperous summer, weeds will quickly grow up and block up the rows and close the space. It is necessary to water and remove them in time to reduce humidity. Generally, weeds are exuberant after rain and the soil is hardened. When weeds are ploughed once, weeds can be turned into the ground to make green manure.

IV. Plant adjustment

The plant must be adjusted to grow vine vegetables, because the branches grow too well and branch well. In addition to the main vine to leave 5 to 6 strong side branches, the rest of the surplus branches, weak branches, over-dense branches should be thinned, and then the top growth point of the remaining branches should be removed before flowering, concentrated nutrition for flowering and fruiting. Then mainly press the vine, press the vine is in the vine length of 60 cm to dig a shallow trench within 10 cm, put the vine into the cover soil pressure, the top exposed more than 10 cm. After 40 centimeters or so, press once, press three times.
