Planting conditions of Hami melon

Cantaloupe originated in-region is-specialty, unique taste, many people like to eat, is now on sale all over the country. -the area is hot during the day and cool at night, and the temperature difference between day and night is suitable for cantaloupe to accumulate sugar and grow. What are the specific environmental requirements for cantaloupe growth, and whether cantaloupe can be planted in other areas? next, from the impact of environmental factors, introduce the requirements of various aspects one by one.

I. temperature

Like high temperature, high temperature is conducive to the growth of cantaloupe, seedling emergence requires a temperature of more than 30 degrees during the day, 18 to 20 degrees at night. After the seedlings grow leaves, the temperature should be reduced to between 25 and 28 degrees during the day and two degrees at night, about 15 to 16 degrees. When the plants grow up, they can return to the temperature required before budding.

Second, humidity

The requirement for water is very strict, except for a little more water in the fruiting period, it is necessary to control water at other times. Enough water, good growth, more water will hurt the root system. The soil is generally dry is normal, vegetative growth period, probably seepage irrigation, once a month. During the result period, it depends on the soil water content. As long as it is not dry, it can be watered more than half a month.

Third, lighting

Strict requirements for light, need enough light to blossom and bear fruit. Otherwise, it may not blossom and bear fruit. Sufficient light during the day, the longer the light, the better the growth. The sweeter the fruit is, the higher the nutrient content is. High quality and high yield can be obtained when the annual sunshine hours are more than 3000h. In addition, there are some differences in light demand among different varieties. Cannot grow and develop in short days.

IV. Soil nutrition

It is best for the soil to require fields that have not planted other crops before, but there is no way to do so. Don't plant melons and fruits after tracking. There are many diseases of eggplant fruit, so don't rotate with eggplant fruit. For the pH of the soil, it is best to plant it on acidic soil. Do not mix many kinds of fertilizers, it is easy to cause fertilizer damage. Some growth regulators need to be sprayed to increase sugar conversion. Mainly spray melon foliar fertilizer in the mature stage. Apply more compound fertilizer at flowering stage. Supplement after fruit setting, scale fertilizer, calcium fertilizer.

The growth conditions of cantaloupe are harsh, including high temperature during the day, low temperature at night, dry environment and moisture control. This climate may not be able to meet this growth conditions in other areas, but now artificial facility cultivation can also blossom and bear fruit, but the quality can not be compared.
