How to prevent muskmelon from suffering

Melon is a fruit that is often eaten in summer, and its flesh is supposed to be sweet, but there is often a bitter phenomenon of melon, which will affect the taste and sales. Therefore, it is necessary to find the reasons in the planting process and do a good job of prevention, so as to ensure the taste of melons. Let's take a look at the reasons why melons suffer, and then solve this problem.

First, the cause of suffering

1. High temperature

When muskmelon is planted in spring, the flowering and fruiting period enters a high temperature period, and the root system can not adapt for a while. The absorption capacity weakens, the nutrient moisture decreases, and the accumulation of picrin in the melon is too high, it will be bitter.

two。 Lack of light

When there is no sunshine in cloudy and rainy days, the photosynthesis of leaves is weakened, the accumulation of nutrients is less, the water content is more, and the sugar content is reduced. And the absorption of the root system of accumulated rain decreases, so there is less sweetness and bitterness can not be transformed.

3. Other reasons

If too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied, it is easy to suffer when it is mature. If the transplanting seedling is too old, it will hurt the root more, and it will suffer if it is not absorbed well. Or for transportation and storage, picking immature fruit and ripening it with medicine will cause bitterness. Most melon pedicels become bitter because of cucurbitacin B.

II. Preventive measures

1. Early sowing to replenish water

Can be appropriate early sowing, through the small arch shed seedlings, or greenhouse seedlings, so that the flowering and fruiting period in advance of half a month or a month, can avoid high temperature and drought affecting root absorption. In the event of high temperature and drought, the root system should be watered at night to protect the root system and maintain the root activity. High quality varieties with strong root system and high temperature tolerance can be selected for planting.

two。 Land selection and drainage

Plant in sunny sandy slopes with enough direct sunlight, not in low-lying rice fields. Multiple drainage channels should be excavated in the rainy season to absolutely guarantee drainage. After rain, plant ash can be sprinkled on the wetland to absorb moisture, fatten and strengthen the roots, so that the roots can suffer less and maintain the ability of normal absorption and utilization. no, no, no.

3. Other methods

Fertilization can only be applied a little more in the early growth of vines, in the later stage, as long as the leaves are thick green without yellowing, they can not apply nitrogen fertilizer, or apply a little nitrogen fertilizer. Seedling transplanting can be transplanted as soon as possible when it grows to 8 centimeters, and the soil can be watered and loosened the day before transplanting, and the roots can be hurt less when the seedlings are raised. Transport picking should not be used to accelerate ripening, but should be picked when it is about to mature. The bitter taste of melon pedicel is normal, but if it is too bitter, it may be regulated by growth regulators.

The muskmelon will suffer because of these various reasons. To solve the problem of bitterness affecting the taste, we still need to find the inducement, and then make certain food adjustments. I believe that this phenomenon will be improved, or even disappear.
