Two, different growth habits

Square melon disease resistance, adaptability, where the planting of watermelon, melon areas can be planted.

Three, different uses

Field management of squash

1 Temperature management

In the early stage, in order to prevent the growth of futile, the need to do a good job of maintaining low temperature. In the stage of slowing down to the first hanging, the daytime temperature is generally 20 ℃, the night temperature is 10 ℃. Automatic melon seedling sitting, the daytime and nighttime temperatures need to be increased, can be increased by 2 ℃, and do a good job in the winter period of low-temperature refining course, can effectively reduce the winter temperature is too low caused by seedling damage.

In the coldest January, the need to do a good job of insulation, the gradual temperature of about 25 ℃, morning and evening to pull the greenhouse quilt. After the year, generally after February the temperature will rise, this time should be well ventilated. after April, in order to control the growth, can not use insulation, at the same time you can close the air vent, can effectively reduce the temperature at night.

2 Fertilizer management

In the early stage of the general do not need to fertilize, if there is a case of prolongation, you can spray amino acid liquid fertilizer. 2 months later, the main use of hot fertilizers, fertilizer about every week once, avoid rain and snow watering or fertilizer. 3 months later, the general use of nitrogen and potash fertilizers, and the number of times of watering to increase. 3 months later, the general use of nitrogen and potash fertilizer, and the number of times of watering to increase. 3 months later, the general use of nitrogen and potash, and the number of times of watering.

3 Disease and pest control

Since the melon is mainly produced in winter, there are relatively few diseases, there are mainly the following 2 kinds: one is gray mold, the prevention of this type of disease, need to control the temperature and humidity, through the ventilation, reduce humidity can be effectively improved. The drugs used are generally gray wolf fumigant.

Another is powdery mildew. After the temperature rises, the probability of powdery mildew is generally highest in April, can be effectively prevented and controlled through the morning and evening wind, or sprayed with Yihui, the drug can be used 1500 times the spray of doxycycline hyclate to ensure that the melon seedling grows strong, and continue to improve the output.

Pumpkin field management

1 seed disinfection selection of disease-free melon seeds, and seed disinfection. Available 55 ℃ warm water to soak the seeds for 15 minutes, or 40% formalin 150 times liquid soak the seeds for 1.5 hours, or 1 million units of agro-streptomycin 500 times liquid soak the seeds for 2 hours, wash the liquid with water and germinate the seeds. Dry seeds can also be placed in a 70 ℃ temperature box dry heat sterilization 72h.

2 clean soil with disease-free soil seedlings, and non-melon vegetables to implement more than 2 years of crop rotation. Remove diseased tissue during the growing period and after harvest.

3 Strengthen the cultivation management of cucumber cultivation in the greenhouse should pay attention to avoid the formation of high temperature and high humidity conditions, cover the film, watering under the film, small water, avoiding large water irrigation, reduce field humidity. In the morning, the water film on the cucumber leaves disappeared before carrying out a variety of agricultural operations to avoid causing wounds.
