Causes and control methods of muskmelon

Muskmelon is a very popular fruit with high sugar content, sweet and delicious taste and rich nutrients. As a result, many fruit growers are planting melons on a large scale. However, there are often many problems in the process of melon planting, and the planting of melon is a kind of melon. So what is the reason why melons turn into melons? How to prevent and cure it? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Reasons for melons

Unstable temperature and humidity

Temperature and humidity are very important for the growth of melons. If in the planting, the temperature fluctuation in the field is too large, or the humidity is too large and too small. It will have a great impact on the development of muskmelon pollen. For example, in a long period of overcast, rainy and low temperature weather, plant photosynthesis is blocked and nutrition is urgently insufficient, which will naturally lead to the phenomenon of melons.

Improper management

Mismanagement is also one of the main reasons for melons. In planting, if water and fertilizer are not managed properly, the flowering of melons will be blocked. In particular, the poor growth of female flowers, poor resistance, affecting pollination. And if the planting is too dense, only applied nitrogen fertilizer, or did not do a good job of pruning and pruning, muskmelon is very easy to grow. It leads to the imbalance between vegetative growth and reproductive growth, and insufficient nutrition leads to melons.

Poor pollination

The female flowers of muskmelon are mainly bisexual flowers, although there are nectaries, which can attract bees to pollinate. However, if there is a long period of overcast and rainy weather, muskmelons planted in the greenhouse will not have bees and other insects to help pollinate, and in cloudy and rainy days, the activity of insects is relatively poor, coupled with female flower style injury and other reasons, so it is easy to lead to poor pollination of female flowers. Female flower pollination and fertilization is poor, the ovary can not be enlarged, naturally there is a melon phenomenon.

Set too much fruit

Part of the reason for melons is that melons set too much fruit. The melon plant has a load range in which the melon fruit grows well. However, if it goes beyond this range, and the fruit has not been thinned in time, then the fruit will lead to melons due to insufficient nutrition or uneven distribution of nutrients.

2. Prevention and control methods

Because there are many reasons leading to melons, so want to do a good job in the prevention and control of melons need to be targeted. First of all, we should do a good job in water and fertilizer work, apply more base fertilizer, increase the proportion of farm manure, and cooperate with an appropriate amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other fertilizers. Adjust the amount of fertilizer reasonably according to the growth period of muskmelon, do not fertilize too much, avoid prosperous growth, concentrate nutrition on young fruits, and reduce the phenomenon of melons. Then we should pay attention to control the temperature and humidity to ensure that the growth of muskmelon within the appropriate range. Doing a good job of fruit thinning and pollination to ensure the normal growth of muskmelon.

The above is a brief introduction of the causes and control methods of melons. Melons will have a great impact on the yield of melons, so we must pay more attention to them when planting. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
