What are the planting methods of August melon?
There are four propagation methods of August melon: seed propagation, burying propagation, rooting propagation and cutting propagation.
1. Seed propagation. September -65438+ 10, when the fruit of August melon is ripe, pick the fruit of August melon, eat the pulp, and leave the seeds for timely autumn sowing. First, the seeds are washed with alkaline water, rinsed with clear water, drained and dried.

Seed propagation is simple and easy, and the cultivated seedlings bear fruit late, usually after 3 years. Generally not used for production.
2. Buried strips are propagated. In August, the stems of zucchini have strong germination ability. Choose 1-2-year-old vines and bury them in human soil. 1 month later, they can take root and reproduce all year round. Generally, it can blossom and bear fruit in the second year after planting.

4. Cutting propagation. Cutting can be carried out all year round. Choose robust, pest-free 1-2-year-old vines, cut them into 10 cm long branches and cut them into arranged seedbeds, and pay attention to water damage, shading and drought prevention. If conditions permit, branches and vines can be soaked with ABT2 rooting powder for cutting, and the survival rate can be increased to 100%.
