1. Hanging vine: The main vine begins to grow after the cantaloupe is planted. After the main vine grows 7-8 leaves, it will hang up. 2. Squeeze vines: In the cultivation process, you can pinch the top from the top of cantaloupe to the third section, but you can't cut it off. 3. Keep melons: After the cantaloupe grows 10- 12 leaves, keep two young melons on the vine and remove the rest.

First, the pruning and melon preservation techniques of Hami melon

1, hanging vine

(1) After the cantaloupe is planted, the main vine will start to grow. After the main vine grows 7-8 leaves, it will hang up.

(2) You can cut off the buds at the top of the main vine of Hami melon and hang them on the bracket, which can avoid the excessive growth of Hami melon and promote the growth of the vine.

Step 2 squeeze the vines

(1) Hami melon grows faster and is easy to grow white, which affects flower bud differentiation, thus producing deformed melons and weak melons, reducing yield and fruit quality.

(2) In the process of cultivation, it should be noted that the top can be pinched from the position of the third section of the top of cantaloupe, and it must not be pinched, so that the top advantage is reduced.

Step 3 raise melons

(1) After the cantaloupe grows to 10- 12 leaves, it is necessary to leave two young melons to grow on the vine, and then remove the other young melons, which can reduce the nutrient consumption.

(2) Be sure to remove the two leaves at the top of the vine to prevent the plant from growing in vain, and cut off the vine that does not bear melons.

Step 4 choose melons

(1) When the cantaloupe grows to the size of an egg, the young cantaloupe should be left at the lower part of the vine, and the young cantaloupe with higher growth should be removed to reduce the probability of fruit dropping.

(2) Young melons can be picked at noon or afternoon in sunny weather. Be sure to keep the pile head near the base of 1cm, and then pinch off the young melon.

Second, the planting method of cantaloupe

1, sowing preparation

(1) Hami melon cannot be continuously cropped, but it can be rotated with other crops for more than 5 years. Crops of Cucurbitaceae, Leguminosae and Solanaceae cannot be planted around the planting area.

(2) The soil in the planting area must be loose, and sandy loam with general fertility and rich organic matter can be selected. Before planting, it is necessary to plough in the ground and turn over in autumn, plough deeply for 25-30cm, and irrigate in winter, which is beneficial to pressing alkali to solidify the soil and eliminate weeds and overwintering pests in the soil.

(3) When ploughing for the last time, 2,000-3,000 kilograms of decomposed organic fertilizer and an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer can be applied per mu, and then mixed with the soil and evenly stirred, and then raked to prepare the drainage ditch.

(4) Before sowing 1 week, the plot must be irrigated, which is the key to ensure good irrigation for all seedlings, and the ground must be covered.

Step 2 sow seeds

(1) Before sowing, you can choose good varieties and do a good job in seed treatment. After selecting the seeds, you can soak them in 200 times formalin for 2 hours, and then rinse them with clear water for 2-3 times.

(2) In areas with high incidence of viral diseases, drugs can be used for disinfection first, and then 40? C dry heat and constant temperature treatment for 24 hours, and finally accelerating germination and sowing.

(3) The sowing time must be appropriate, and the underground soil temperature should be 14? C can be sown, and the method of hole sowing can be adopted.

(4) The plant spacing of holes must be determined according to the variety, generally the plant spacing is between 45 and 60 cm, and the sowing depth should also be determined according to the soil conditions. Generally, deep sowing can be done when the soil is sandy, and shallow sowing can be done when the soil layer is deep and sticky, with 2-3 grains per hole and 3-4cm of soil cover.

3, buckle shed

(1) The material of the buckle shed can be bamboo, bamboo pole, cold-drawn wire, etc. , but generally choose bamboo, arch shed height 100cm, convenient for workers to operate inside.

(2) When making the tent, both ends of bamboo pieces should be sharpened and inserted into the ground, then each arch frame should be connected with hemp rope and plastic rope, and finally covered with plastic.

(3) The plastic must be tiled to keep light transmittance, and then compacted with clods to avoid wind damage.

4. Tian Tuan management

(1) Generally, seedlings can emerge after 3-5 days of sowing. At this time, we must break the membrane in time and replant the seedlings in time. When the seedlings grow to 1-2 true leaves, it is necessary to start thinning.

(2) Leave 2 plants in each hole, and remove the sick and weak seedlings when thinning seedlings, so as to ensure that 4-5 true leaves will be used as fixed seedlings, and each hole will leave 1 healthy seedlings.

(3) We must do a good job of intertillage weeding at seedling stage, intertillage can loosen soil, increase soil permeability and promote root growth, weeding can prevent weeds from robbing seedlings of nutrients and make seedlings grow normally.
