Yellow watermelon is also known as yellow-fleshed watermelon, which is commonly known as "black bandage".
Yellow scoop watermelon is a good melon, oval, yellow with green skin, there is a clear dark green mesh, flesh golden yellow, sandy crisp sweet, melon aroma, unique flavor, mature single fruit 15 kg or so, adapted to the planting of coarse sand, excellent drainage of the semi-sandy soil, June-August maturity.
Melon identification
First, the size of the fruit is mainly determined by the size of the ovary and the development of the fruit about 20 days after flowering. In the female flowers just open 4 to 5 days, is the fruit can sit in the key period; in the subsequent 15 to 20 days, is the main period of fruit volume increase, the growth of the whole melon weight of about 90%; fruit ripening before the 10 days, the volume increases slowly, mainly the internal composition of the fruit changes. Therefore, before and after flowering should be timely pruning fork, strengthen the fertilizer, artificial pollination, to improve the rate of sitting melon.
Secondly, the watermelon fruit shape varies, there are spherical, high round, short oval and long oval. Usually the early stage of growth is dominated by longitudinal growth, and in the middle and late stages of growth is dominated by lateral growth. Fruit development in the early stages of low temperature, dry, insufficient light, nutrient growth is too strong, often produce deformed fruit.
Third, the thickness of the skin is also an important indicator to reflect the merits of varieties. In addition to the different varieties, but also and stay melon node related, stay melon node low fruit small, flat in, thick skin, hollow, fiber. This is related to the number of leaves in the early stages of fruit development, nutrient accumulation and low temperature caused by plant growth is weak. In this regard, the production of more than remove the first melon, choose to retain the 2nd to 3rd melon. In particular, the third melon is better, melon big skin thin. However, taking into account the early maturity and insurance, it is still appropriate to leave the second melon.
