There are more than 180 varieties of cantaloupe, and the shapes of cantaloupe are oval, oval, braided hammer, long rod and so on. Many people are curious about how cantaloupe is grown. Next, follow me to see how to grow cantaloupe.

Hami melon seed planting technology (1) sowing date: sowing is usually in July 10-20.

⑵ Plug sowing: Before sowing Hami melon seeds, soak them in clear water for 5 hours, and then soak them in carbendazim 700 times solution 1 hour. Select a tray with 50 holes, each hole 1 seed. After sowing, cover vermiculite, spray water, and then cover with plastic film to keep moisture. The temperature is maintained at 28-32℃ during the day and 22-25℃ at night. Shading nets can be used to shade the sun.

⑶ Seedling management: Generally, seedlings can grow in five days. Remove the seed coat with a cap in time and put a plug on the grid for seedling establishment. Water-soluble fertilizer was applied at seedling stage, and the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium was 2: 1:2 and 1.4:0: 1.4, and the fertilizer was applied alternately, with the concentration of 75 mg/kg, 1-2 times a week. When there are 3-4 true leaves 30 days after emergence, they should be planted as soon as possible when the root system is full of holes to avoid the influence of root aging on growth. Harden the seedlings for 2-3 days before planting.

Seedbed management

In spring, heat preservation and disease prevention are emphasized, the seedbed is covered with multi-layer films, and electric hot wires are laid on the ground.

Temperature management: adopt the method of "two highs and two lows" for temperature change management, that is, before seedling emergence, the temperature of seedbed should be kept at 30 ~ 32℃ during the day and at 18 ~ 20℃ at night to promote seedling emergence; Before the first true leaf is unfolded, the bed temperature should be appropriately reduced to 25 ~ 28℃ during the day and to 15 ~ 16℃ at night to prevent high seedlings; When the third true leaf appears, the bed temperature should be properly increased, which should be kept between 30 ~ 32℃ during the day and between 18 ~ 20℃ at night to promote the early appearance of true leaf. One week before sowing, the seedlings gradually adapted to the field environmental conditions after low temperature exercise.

water management

Water should be strictly controlled at seedling stage, and appropriate amount of water should be poured according to the degree of dryness and wetness of seedbed bowl before noon on sunny days. After watering, cover with plastic film after the water on the plant surface and soil surface evaporates and the water stains are dried.

Humidity lighting

Ventilation and humidity reduction is the key to prevent seedling diseases. Therefore, after sufficient sowing, the plastic film in the shed should be uncovered as far as possible within the scope of bed temperature to increase ventilation and reduce the air humidity of the seedbed. In rainy weather, short-term ventilation should be carried out around noon to reduce humidity and increase light.

25% Amisi SC can be sprayed once during seedling raising to prevent diseases and improve resistance.

The common pruning methods in Hami melon production mainly include single vine pruning and double vine pruning.

Hami melon is characterized by annual creeping or climbing herbs; Stems and branches are angular, with yellow-brown or white bristles and warty protrusions.

Flowers are unisexual and hermaphroditic. Male flowers: several flowers are clustered in the axils of leaves; Pedicel slender, 0.5-2 cm long, pilose; Calyx tube narrowly bell-shaped, densely white villous, 6-8 mm long, lobes nearly half shrubby, erect or spreading, shorter than tube; Corolla yellow, 2 cm long, lobes elliptic, acute; Stamens 3, filaments very short, anther chambers curved, connective ends elongated; The degenerated pistil is about 65438 0 mm long. Female flowers: solitary, with rough pedicels and pilose; Ovary oblong, densely villous, with coarse hair, style length 1-2 mm, stigma connivent, about 2 mm long. The shape and color of fruit vary with varieties, usually spherical or rectangular, with smooth skin, longitudinal grooves or stripes, no prickly protrusions, white, yellow or green pulp and sweet smell; Seeds are grayish white or yellowish white, ovoid or oblong, with sharp apex, blunt base, smooth surface and no edges. Summer flower and fruit period.

The value of cantaloupe cantaloupe is not only sweet, but also has high nutritional value. According to the analysis, the dry matter of Hami melon contains 4.6%- 15.8% sugar and 2.6%-6.7% cellulose, as well as malic acid, pectin, vitamins A, B, C, nicotinic acid, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other elements. The iron content is two or three times higher than that of chicken and 17 times higher than that of milk. Xinjiang people love to eat cantaloupes, and it is not unreasonable to think that eating more melons can cure diseases and prolong life. Hami melon can not only be eaten fresh, but also be made into dried wax gourd, preserved honeydew melon and fruit juice.

Melon seeds can be used as medicine to treat diseases, and feeding melon skin to sheep can promote fat gain. Hami melon seeds can be used as essential oil, which has rich medicinal, beauty, health care and physiological activities. They are refined by pure physics and cold pressing. Its color is golden, its taste is fragrant, and it has a pleasant fruity taste. The unique medicinal, cosmetic and health-care nutrients in Hami melon seeds are fully preserved and not destroyed. With super antioxidant capacity, it is a first-class pure natural essential oil for medicine, beauty, health care and nutrition, and can be widely used in the fields of medicine, beauty, health care and nutritious food.

Every100g of melon meat also contains 0.4g of protein, 0.3g of fat and 2g of ash. Among them, calcium 14 mg, phosphorus 10 mg and iron 1 mg. Please don't underestimate this 1 mg iron, which has a great relationship with the hematopoietic function and development of human body. Compared with meat, the iron content in cantaloupe is twice that of chicken, three times that of fish and 17 times that of milk.
