2. Planting method of golden melon.
(1) Select seeds to accelerate germination. Selecting golden melon seeds with full seeds and good glossiness, soaking the seeds with 10% trisodium phosphate, and then washing with clear water can remove the virus in the seeds and improve the disease resistance. The soaked seeds are wrapped with wet gauze or towel with good air permeability and put into a germination box at 28-30℃ to accelerate germination. After successful germination, sowing can be carried out.
(2) Seeding and seedling raising. Seeding and seedling raising should be carried out in mid-March. If the sowing amount is large, it must be carried out in batches to ensure that it will be listed in batches later. After sowing, the soles of the feet should be watered to ensure the smooth seedling raising of golden melon, and covered with transparent plastic film to improve the ground temperature and promote the emergence of seedlings. When the seedlings are unearthed, the plastic film should be removed in time, and the soil moisture should be appropriately reduced to prevent the formation of tall seedlings.
(3) Soil preparation, soil preparation. Deep ploughing, digging and planting, wide and high border cultivation and turtle back are beneficial to timely drainage and reduce soil moisture.
(4) timely planting. Planting Cucurbita melo seedlings in planting holes and applying rooting powder to roots can accelerate the growth of roots. After planting, soil should be used to seal the planting hole and the surrounding plastic film, keep the ground temperature, and pour enough planting water to promote the growth of seedlings.
(5) Fertilizer and water management. According to the growth situation of golden melon, reasonable water and fertilizer management is carried out to ensure the normal expansion of fruit and improve the commodity rate of fruit. After delayed emergence, compound fertilizer should be applied with water to promote the elongation of melon seedlings. When young melons enter the period of vigorous nutritional demand, it is necessary to apply quick-acting potassium sulfate and compound fertilizer with water to improve fruit quality.
(6) pest control. Golden melon is prone to powdery mildew and downy mildew. Powdery mildew can be controlled by ether phenol and lunasen, and downy mildew can be controlled by Yinfali, Amisi Da and propamocarb, with good results.
