1. Selection and preparation of sowing soil: The soil for planting cantaloupe is sandy loam with rich organic matter and loose soil. Deep tillage before planting and irrigation in winter are helpful to improve soil system and eliminate weeds and overwintering pests in soil. After the treatment is completed, an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer can be applied as base fertilizer.

2. Seed selection: select seeds of excellent varieties with strong disease resistance and complete and full appearance. In areas with high incidence of viral diseases, it is necessary to soak and disinfect with appropriate drugs (available in the market) first. Then sow seeds at the right time, usually digging holes.

3. Seedling management: seedling management of Hami melon is very important. If there is no good management at this time, the later yield and even the survival rate of seedlings will not be ideal. If dead or missing seedlings are found, they must be replenished in time, and weeds in the field should be removed regularly, so as not to affect the growth and development of seedlings.

4. Build a windproof and thermal insulation shed. The material of cantaloupe shed is generally bamboo. Trim both ends of bamboo pieces to be sharp enough to be easily inserted into the soil, then fix each bamboo arch with hemp rope or other strong rope and cover it with plastic film. After covering, the redundant parts on both sides must be fixed with clods or other heavy objects to avoid being blown away or damaged by the wind.

5. Wait for the seedlings to appear. Generally, seedlings can emerge in 3-5 days after sowing. At this time, it is necessary to uncover the film in time and check the lack of seedlings. When the seedlings grow to 1-2 true leaves, it is necessary to start thinning. Leave only two seedlings in each pit, remove the diseased seedlings, plant when 4-5 real leaves grow, leave/kloc-0 healthy seedlings in each pit, and weed.

6. Water and fertilizer management. The growth and development of cantaloupe need not only light and temperature, but also water. Proper watering can ensure its normal growth. Hami melon needs a lot of water when it blooms, so it should be watered reasonably to avoid the soil being too dry or wet. Hami melon will consume a lot of nutrients in the growth process, so it needs to be properly fertilized according to the growth situation of Hami melon.

The above is about the cultivation of cantaloupe, I hope I can help you.
