Pruning August melons can be pruned according to different seasons. In the process of spring growth, vines grow vigorously and disorderly, which will lead to the loss of plant nutrition, and improper prevention will also cause infection of diseases and pests. At this time, thinning treatment is needed to improve air permeability and illuminance.
In summer, plants can be treated with bud smearing, which can remove too many tender buds to prevent excessive loss of plant reserve nutrients. In addition, pruning in winter can help them survive the winter smoothly and have a good growth in the coming year. At this time, plants are generally pruned by short cutting and thinning.
Planting method of August melon:
1, Seed selection: When picking seeds, you should choose complete seeds to plant, and remove incomplete seeds. You can soak the seeds in water and plant them after sprouting, or you can plant them by cutting, grafting and root separation. When planting with seeds, it must be disinfected first to prevent it from affecting the whole period in the future.
2. Soil conditions: Fertilizers should be applied frequently. It is best to choose composite soil with loose air permeability and good drainage system, and it is best to plant it with humus soil with good drainage, which will provide convenience for future diversion channels.
3. Set up scaffolding: Since August melons are vines, it is necessary to set up scaffolding when planting. It should be noted that the scaffolding should be set up in a wide range, which can prevent vines from gathering. When vines grow, they can be fixed manually, which can prevent animals from eating.
