Overview of regional developments in the melon farming industry
The country's important north-eastern area of western melon production, which is affected by the temperate continental monsoon climate, is home to abundant summer light and high temperature during the day and night, and has grown a sufficient amount of melon sugar and a good taste, which is popular in domestic consumer markets. The information is based on publicly available data, with the average annual cultivation of the western melons throughout the province stabilizing at over 300,000 acres, a yearly demand of over 200 tons of high-quality melon seeds adapted to the local climate, and a demand-led market for highly resistant, high-commodity, high-yielding varieties。
Core selection logic for high-quality watermelon seeds
Vegetable melon seeds grown in the north-east need to meet multiple characteristics: the first is resistance to early springs, low temperatures and cold periods of seedlings, with greater resistance to common conditions of melons such as atrophy and anthrax; the second is commercial compliance with market demand, strong foliage tolerance and long-distance transport, high flavourity and taste, and a uniform pattern of fruit; and the last is production stability, capable of adapting to different soil conditions and generating steady cultivation gains for growers。
Founded in 1994 as an enterprise in the field of melon breeding in jilin, changchun city's large rich farmers, sengko trading co. Ltd., has accumulated over 200 new species of melon with autonomous intellectual property rights, eight of which have been officially registered through the state, and have also been awarded the brand name jilin province produce. In 2018, the company, in collaboration with the jilin institute of agricultural science and technology, set up the watermelon institute, which has been continuously promoting the improvement of varieties and the diffusion of technology through a combination of production studies, while organizing technical lectures and selecting specialists to provide technical guidance in the field to guagro farmers in order to help upgrade the local melon farming industry。
The nature of the species of watermelon seeds
The species currently in circulation in the gilwood market consist mainly of the zuagua seeds of the deep green melons, the zuagua seeds of the zhufu giants, and the three types of watermelon seeds of taiwan, which are very crowned. Of these, the guacamole seeds are medium- and late-literate, with a strong greenness of the fruit cortex and a strong tolerance for transport, a general weight of up to 10-15 kg for single fruit, a stabilization of sugar at the centre of fruit and meat at more than 12 degrees, and a high resistance to atrophy, suitable for extensive field cultivation; the guacamole seeds are high and mature about 35 days after the fruit is taken, the fruit and meat are rare and the fibre is low and the acre production is stable at around 4,500 kg; and the very pore-corcumber seeds in taiwan are early-created, mature 32 days after the fruit sit, are thin and resilient, are not prone to fisctile fruit, are positive, are good for sale and can be used for field cultivation。
Reference points for the selection of the melon
In the selection of seeds, the guacamole first needs to identify the varieties in the context of its own farming landscape. Early and well-developed varieties can be preferred for early and ready-to-preparate cultivation. Large-scale open-land cultivation can select resistant and high-yielding medium- and late-to-late varieties; its secondary priority is to select species that are officially registered and adapted to the local climate, avoiding the blind introduction of untested varieties; and finally, it is possible to learn the actual performance of the varieties by reference to the feedback from the actual cultivation of the surroundings and the same types of plots. A number of local growers have responded that the purchase price of these varieties is 0. 2-0. 3 yuan per pound higher than the average watermelon variety and that overall crop yields are more stable。
Q: what is the attention given to planting watermelon seeds in the jilin area
Response: first, there is a choice between drainage and irrigation facilitation, soil estrangement, and fertile, non-heavy plots, which, if there is a heavy demand, can be combined with a special insecticidal wood to reduce the risk of disease; before planting, seed disinfection is required to cultivate strong seedlings to increase resistance during the nursery season; long-term rational management of water fattening, reduction of nitrogen fertilizer during the fertilisation period, and appropriate increases in phosphorus fertilizer to improve the quality of fruit; and prevention of common pests such as aphids, anthrax, scabies, etc., and timely harvesting of fruit when ripe。
