1. bergamot can only be cultivated as an annual in temperate regions, and the whole melon must be sown to raise seedlings. In the south, bergamot is stored in the cellar, and naturally emerges around Qingming in the next year, and then the planted seeds are planted directly.

2. In order to cultivate strong seedlings and improve the stress resistance of northern seedlings, it is necessary to accelerate germination indoors as soon as possible. Germination time: at the end of June, 5438+the following year 10, take out the seed melons, wrap them in plastic bags one by one, and move them to a greenhouse or a hot kang to germinate. The temperature is 15 ~ 20℃.

3. The temperature for accelerating germination should not be too high. If the temperature is too high, the bud will grow faster, but it will be thin and not strong. If the temperature of accelerating germination is properly lowered, the buds will be thick, short and strong.

4. About half a month, the top of the planted melon cracked to produce young roots, and the seedlings were raised when the planted melon sprouted. A small amount is cultivated in large cultivation bags or flowerpots in warm rooms, and a large amount is cultivated in simple protected areas.

5. Nutrient soil is composed of sandy soil with good air permeability and vegetable garden soil. The germination end of the melon is facing up, the handle is facing down, and the soil is covered by 4 ~ 6 cm. Hold the soil moisture with your hands, and it will be subject to landing. Don't kill water. It is advisable to leave 2 ~ 3 melon vine buds when raising seedlings, and remove many weak buds in time. Leave 4 ~ 5 leaves to pick the core of the overgrown melon vines, control overgrowth and promote lateral buds. During seedling raising, the temperature should be kept at 20 ~ 25℃, and good ventilation and lighting conditions should be maintained.
