Management of Hami melon growth cycle
Under normal circumstances, the yield of cantaloupe per mu is between 3000 and 4000 Jin. If it is not well maintained, it can reach 1500-2000 kg.
Temperature management: The optimum temperature for the growth and development of Hami melon is 24-30 degrees, the optimum temperature for the growth and development of roots is 30-32 degrees, and the lowest temperature for the occurrence of root hairs is 14 degrees.
Fertilization management: appropriate topdressing should be carried out according to plant growth. When the seedlings grow to about 5 cm, the first topdressing should be diamine or March seed fertilizer.
