1. Soaking seeds to accelerate germination: direct seeding is generally used for planting melons in the open field, but in order to go on the market early, seedlings can also be transplanted. 2. Soil preparation and planting: Before cutting melons and planting, soil preparation should be done well, and all base fertilizers should be applied to the border. 4000 kg of decomposed organic fertilizer can be used per mu, and 50 kg of ternary compound fertilizer and 30 kg of potassium sulfate need to be added. 3, scaffolding: if you use crawling cultivation to cut melons, the melon shape is bent, which is not convenient for harvesting. If you want high yield and high quality, you need scaffolding planting. 4. Planting time: If you choose to plant in the open field, the planting time is generally from early April to late July, and the planting time in protected land is from late October to late March of/kloc-0.

I. Planting techniques

1, soaking seeds to accelerate germination

(1) Cut melons can be directly planted in the open field, but if they want to go on the market early, they can be cultivated by transplanting seedlings.

(2) Before soaking the seeds, the seeds must be dried for about 2-3 hours, and then scalded with hot water of about 55℃ for 2 minutes. When scalding seeds, the seeds must be continuously stirred and then soaked in clear water for about 8- 10 hour.

(3) In the process of seed soaking, be sure to pick it up and wash it 1 time, then soak it in clear water, and then put it in a constant temperature box at 28℃ for germination and sowing.

2. Land preparation and colonization

(1) Before planting cut melons, the land must be leveled, and then the base fertilizer can be fully applied. The base fertilizer can be applied in furrows, with 4000 kg of decomposed organic fertilizer, 50 kg of ternary compound fertilizer and 30 kg of potassium sulfate per mu.

(2) When the planting amount is small, you can dig a big pit for planting, and you must apply base fertilizer before planting. The field planting density is 100- 120cm, the width is 60-80cm, and about 600- 1000 plants can be planted per mu.

3, scaffolding on the scaffolding

(1) If crawling planting is adopted, the melon shape will bend, which is not convenient for harvesting. If you want high yield and high quality, you need scaffolding planting.

(2) When plants begin to grow, they must stand upright in time. When the vines grow to 0.5-0.8 meters, scaffolding can be set up.

(3) The height of the scaffold is about 2m. Guide the melon and vine to the scaffold and fix it with packing tape to prevent it from falling down when it is windy.

(4) Generally, flat shed has high yield and good fruit shape, which can be used for sporadic planting.

(5) Pay attention to artificial pollination when planting, which can be carried out at 6:00-7:30 every morning to ensure the fruit setting rate.

Second, the planting time

1, sowing in open field from early April to late July, and planting in protected field1sowing in late October to late March.

2. 10 melons can be sown and cut in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan provinces from early March to late June. The suitable temperature for seed germination is about 20-28℃, and seeds can be planted after soaking in warm water for 2 hours.
