Watermelon is one of our favorite fruits in summer. Do you know the varieties of watermelon and what are the characteristics of these varieties? Let's take a look at the red crown dragon variety watermelon first.

The original code of Hongguanlong variety is 1208, which is a hybrid bred in the vegetable and Flower Research Institute of Shaanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It passed the crop variety examination and approval of Shaanxi Province in 1997. Now there are also plants, and this kind of variety can often be seen on the market.

Characteristics: the appearance of the fruit is similar to "Admiralty Crown Dragon". The melon flesh is red, so it is called Red Crown Dragon. Its seeds are small and small, not hollow, crisp, juicy and refreshing. The whole growth period of this variety is about 100 days, good resistance, strong fruit setting ability, light green cortex with dark green stripes, good flavor, central sugar content 12.6%, skin thickness about 1 cm, resistant to storage and transportation, average fruit weight 9-10 kg, maximum 23 kg. High resistance to Fusarium wilt and anthracnose, not easy to infect virus disease, good drought resistance and moisture resistance. Late ripening, the growth period is about 100days, the fruit expands rapidly, and the yield per mu is about 5000 kg.

The cultivation site is suitable for cultivation in Shaanxi, Gansu, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Anhui, Guangxi and other places.

When planting this variety, we should pay attention to the re-application of base fertilizer and insect control; it is very easy to set fruit, so the root melon and the embryo close to the root should be removed in time, and the second or third female flower should be left about 1.5 meters away from the root. Stop watering the fruit 7-10 days before ripening, otherwise the sugar content is low and the melon taste is light.
