New technology of watermelon cultivation is divided into germination planting, transplant planting.

1, germination planting

Soak the seeds before soaking the seeds in the sun for 1 day, the sun-dried seeds with non-scalding warm water (about 30 degrees Celsius or so) soak the seeds for 6-8 hours, and then fished out with a towel or a coarse cloth will be wrapped in the seeds rubbing the mucous membrane on the skin of the seeds, in order to prevent blight, with 1,000 times the solution of metribuzin dip again 4 hours, the general soaking time Requirements to reach 12 hours, the seed coat can be taken out and rinsed with water to prepare for germination.

Sprouting will be soaked seeds flat on a wet towel, seeds covered with a layer of wet towel, placed in 30-35 degrees germination, 72 hours basic out of the Qi, germination 85-90% of the white can be sown.

Sprouting live on the melon ridge near the application of fertilizer at the opening of a shallow ditch or hole 8 cm ~ 10 cm deep, spacing 45-50 cm, each hole sown into the germination of seeds 1-2, (drought watering once after a thorough watering) mulch 2 cm ~ 3 cm, sprouting live after 2 ~ 3 days can be seedling; generally 150 grams of seed per acre ~ 200 grams.

2, transplanting planting

Nursery transplanting seedling age 30-35 days, melon seedling 3 leaves 1 heart began transplanting, spacing 45-50 cm, mu planted 450-500 or so, transplanted after pouring root water.

When planting watermelon, the seeds can not be spread too dense, it is best to plant the seeds one by one into the soil, and each seed should be kept 20 centimeters apart, the watermelon seedlings, in favor of the root system to breathe better.

Planting watermelon notes

Watermelon breeding, we should be diligent in the application of organic fertilizer, to promote the rapid growth of the plant, and should be applied every month, pay attention to the fertilizer can not be fertilizer drops in the leaves, otherwise the watermelon seedling will be withered and rotted.

Watermelon in the growth process of the greater need for light, the stronger the light, the higher the sweetness of the fruit, so in the breeding of watermelon to provide it with a full-light environment, and when the light is too strong, to use the shade net shade, to prevent dehydration and drying of watermelon seedlings.
