1, planting density, before planting melon, we first have to excavate a two-meter border between the soil, the border can be planted about two rows of melon, each planting hole distance is generally in the 45cm. each hole planting can not be more than two plants, an acre of land can be planted up to about 3000 plants. After planting, the plants should be watered immediately, and then covered with a layer of plastic film, if the night temperature is too low, you can cover the plastic film with a layer of grass to keep warm. The planting area of the knapweed needs to be established in a place with a leeward wind and a sunny view, enough water, no diseases, and a good drainage and irrigation system.

2, fertilizer management, knucklehead melon planting, you need to water immediately after planting, and then do not need to water until the trailing, when the knucklehead melon began to draw the trailing, then you need to start watering and fertilization. At least 150 pounds of diammonium phosphate should be applied to each acre of land. When the first zucchini starts to grow to about 15 centimeters, you need to water the zucchini frequently, and always keep the soil moisture, because this stage is the time when the zucchini needs the most water. After the second melon grows out, you need to start chasing Wolye water-soluble fertilizer, because it is necessary to provide enough nutrients to supply the growth needs of the melon.

3, plant adjustment, in the process of planting the festival melon, we must always maintain the good growth of the plant, the shape of its certain trimming, when the festival melon appeared tendrils, the plant should be framed to lead the work of the vine. Generally, the knuckleheads are built into a "human" shape, which can not only accelerate the growth of the plant, but also effectively control some pests and diseases. In the fruiting period before the arrival of the main vine base to grow out of the side of the vine all removed, to prevent competition with the main vine for nutrients. In the late fruiting period, remove all the lateral vines in the lower part of the plant and keep the lateral vines in the middle and upper part of the plant, which can effectively improve the yield.

4, timely harvesting, festival melon harvesting time is also very delicate, harvesting time shall not be too late or too early, harvesting too late will make the festival melon over-maturity, easy to crack the melon, prone to pests and diseases, and may miss the market time. Early harvesting will lead to insufficient maturity, affecting the quality and reducing the commercial value. The general maturity of the melon is usually within 1-2 months after the first flower, and the specific harvest time needs to be weighed according to the degree of maturity, market demand, and consumer eating habits and other aspects. For example, people who like to eat delicate melon more, then in the festival melon 1 pound or so can start harvesting market.
