1, select the seed method

Because there are many varieties of melon, you can pick and choose to plant, melon has the United States zucchini, early green zucchini and black Xiuli, etc., this according to the needs of everyone to choose their own.

2, sowing period selection

Spring sowing is the best choice in February-March for sowing, to ensure that the timing of the harvest in the Qingming and rainy season is the best.

3, seed disinfection

Perfumed melon planting before the seeds should be disinfected, most of the treatment is the use of copper sulfate solution or polymyxin to kill the poison, and then again when sowing the seeds should be used to use TiMic for seed mixing, so as to prevent the invasion of pests and diseases in the soil.

4, reasonable dense planting

Cantaloupe planting density should be appropriate, and according to the type of cantaloupe to determine its planting density, the general standard: row spacing of 0.6-0.5 meters, spacing 0.5 meters, planting seven to eight hundred ponds per acre can be planted, the grower in the planting of the time must first figure out the variety is which type of.

5, seedling management

Because the melon seedlings grow and develop very fast, in order to prevent the melon's futility, we have to control the amount of fertilizer and watering time, can not be too much or too little, will be controlled in the daytime temperature between 20-25 degrees, the night control can be about 10 degrees, fertilization should be applied every other week, in order to prevent root rot but also in the fertilization of the In order to prevent root rot, you should also apply fertilizer with a solution of mefenamic acid, and you can also spray some Bordeaux liquid to prevent powdery mildew.

6, late management

In the first harvest of melon, we can harvest a fertilizer once, fertilizer to compound fertilizer-based, fertilizer at the same time to the melon field timely watering to supplement the water into the harvest period not only to do a good job in the management of fertilizers, but also to do a good job in the prevention and control of pests and diseases, melon pests and diseases are also quite a lot, the main for the four diseases and three bugs, respectively, is powdery mildew, Leaf disease, mildew and root rot, three insects are leaf fly, thrips, aphids.

The growing conditions of melons

1, temperature-loving: the optimal temperature for reproduction is 25-30 ℃. Even at temperatures as high as 40 ℃, other crops photosynthesis has been disorganized, the photosynthetic efficiency of the melon is still maintained at a high level; at this time the leaf photosynthetic products than the heat-resistant crop watermelon, but also three times more. Hami melon special production area of Turpan (ancient name of fire state), the average temperature in July reached 33.3 ℃, the highest ground temperature is often nearly 50 ℃.

2, light-loving: require strong and sufficient sunshine. Light saturation point of 5.5-6.0 million lx. 13-14 hours of sunshine per day can accelerate growth and promote early maturity; less than 10 hours of sunshine, on the thick-skinned melons have been adversely affected by late-maturing varieties of the entire growth period requires 1700-1800 hours of sunshine.

China's northwest annual average sunshine rate (actual sunshine hours/possible sunshine hours) is as high as 70% -80%, rarely cloudy and rainy, often clear skies, the sun, so that the region has sufficient heat and light.
