The reason of Momordica charantia split melon

When planting bitter melon, it is easy to crack the melon. The bitter melon crack may be caused by natural causes or diseases. At the same time, the environment will also cause this situation. What are the specific reasons? Here's why.

1. Large temperature difference between day and night

The growth of bitter melon flesh will be affected by temperature and the growth rate of epidermis will be different. When the temperature difference between day and night is large, the growth rate of bitter melon flesh will exceed the growth of epidermis. When the accumulation reaches a certain extent, bitter melon will appear cracked. Before this happens, careful observation of bitter gourd will find that its skin is getting tighter and tighter. When there is such a feeling, it means that the temperature control is not done well, and the growers pay attention to regulating the temperature.

2. stem blight

Disease caused by this situation is mainly caused by stem blight, stem blight will affect the internal growth structure of balsam pear. When humidity is too high, it is easy to appear such a situation, first the position of the branches will secrete some harmful substances, and then these things will infect the balsam pear, so that the balsam pear becomes more crisp. At this time, bitter melon will continue to grow naturally, but because the flesh becomes relatively simple, there is no viscoelasticity, and finally it will crack when it expands to a certain extent. The infectivity of this disease is relatively strong, so it should be treated in time.

3. Physiological fruit cracking

Physiological fruit cracking is caused by the imbalance of fertilizer and water in balsam pear. The root system of balsam pear absorbs water and does not supply the consumption of leaves. In addition, such a situation is most likely to occur when it is relatively dry. This mostly occurs in the rapid growth period of bitter gourd, this stage whether it is the highest demand for nutrients or water, the lack of both will lead to the expansion and cracking of bitter gourd, and it is very easy to appear in batches, so this period must be a good balance of fertilizer and water.

4. Natural cracking

Finally, it is natural cracking, which is caused by farmers not harvesting in time. The growth of bitter melon is limited, will not always grow, when it grows to a certain extent, it will automatically crack, this is the bitter melon is relatively old to lead to such a situation. If you find such a situation in the late growth stage, don't worry, timely harvest is, some places are said to be old to crack bitter melon seeds best, will deliberately leave some such seeds when.

The above is a few reasons for bitter melon cracking, we encounter such a situation do not worry, first find out why it will crack melon, and then to solve the problem. I hope this can help everyone and ensure everyone's planting benefits.
