In order to increase the melon-setting rate, the time is generally 6-8 am. Pick the female flowers that bloom on that day, remove the petals, and rub the stamen stigma a few times with the pedicel in hand. After the fruit swells, put grass under the melon to reduce rotten melons. After 20 days, turn the melons every 2-3 days to make the melons mature evenly. Cultivating strong seedlings is the beginning of success. When raising seedlings, choose to sow them on a sunny day. Sowing can only be carried out when the temperature of the seedbed is stable above 14-15 degrees. If the temperature is too low, it is easy to cause rotten seeds. After sowing, cover with mulch film because the germination temperature of cantaloupe It needs to be relatively high, usually around 30 degrees.

But it should be followed: 1. Good suitability. That is to say, the selected cantaloupe varieties should be suitable for the local growing environment. It must be suitable for the soil environment, climate environment, geographical environment, etc.; 2. The resistance must be good. It must be suitable for a variety of local external adversities and be able to withstand external and internal adverse factors; it is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cantaloupe has antitussive and expectorant properties, and also has digestive effects and is effective in treating constipation. Cantaloupes have multi-loculed varieties, similar to berries. It is native to the desert areas of Africa and was introduced to my country during the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is now cultivated throughout our country. Usually, nutrient bowls are used to raise seedlings, and the seeds must be germinated first and then sown.

From sowing to seedling emergence, the daytime temperature is controlled at 25-28 degrees, and the night temperature cannot be lower than 20 degrees. In the late emergence stage, the daytime temperature can drop to 20-25 degrees, while the night temperature remains above 15 degrees. After the cantaloupe seedlings are transplanted, water them once in the evening. Do not water in the morning and noon, because the temperature in the sun shed is higher at noon. If you water at noon, the temperature in the shed is high, which is not conducive. Survival of cantaloupe seedlings.

Don’t keep the melon seedlings too long. Under normal circumstances, the best time for seedlings is 35 to 40 days. The management of sowing time takes into account the local climate characteristics of Shandong. Seedlings are usually raised around March and transplanted in April. Flowers and fruits bloom from May to June. In areas where it is a bit cold, seedlings can be grown and transplanted around April, and they will bloom and bear fruit in June.

During the growth process of cantaloupe, you may encounter diseases and insect pests, which requires careful cultivation by melon farmers. They should strengthen cultivating, weeding, and cleaning the fields to reduce the initial infestation of diseases and insect pests!
