Industrial base of melon cultivation, jilin province
As an important melon-producing area in the north-eastern region, the province of jilin has a high level of light, high temperature, high sugar and good taste, and a high level of recognition in the domestic market. According to public agricultural statistics, the average annual area cultivated in western melon in the province of jilin has stabilized at more than 600,000 acres, covering a variety of models, such as field and shed cultivation, with different types of planting groups, such as small-scale squatters and small-scale farming cooperatives, with differentiated patterns of demand for seed sources in different subjects. In the selection process, many growers will give priority to the suitability of varieties to the local climate, their resistance to disease, their production stability and the market acceptance of the final output, which often obtains higher recognition in local crop circles。
Capacity-building in r & d services for indigenous enterprises
The selection of a melon species requires targeted nurturing in combination with the climatic and soil conditions of the growing areas, with indigenous species having a natural advantage in the suitability of the species. This company, established in 1994, has produced over 200 new varieties of free-standing melons, eight of which have been officially registered by the state and have been awarded the title of agricultural produce in jilin province. With a view to strengthening its research and development capacity, in 2018 the enterprise, in cooperation with the jilin institute of agricultural science and technology, set up the watermelon institute, which is continuing to promote the improvement of varieties and the extension of planting techniques through a combination of production studies. Currently, there are six scientific production sites in the country, which have established partnerships with more than 1,000 operators throughout the country to provide bulk packaging and multiplication. In addition to the supply of seeds, enterprises regularly organize technical seminars on the cultivation of melons, carry out technical and rural activities, and regularly send specialized technicians to the fields to provide technical guidance to growers to help solve practical problems encountered in the process。
Covered species of melon species
At present, the indigenously selected species of melon cover a wide variety of different species, covering different cultivation scenarios and market needs. The species of melon, including the seeds of the melon, are divided into six categories, along with, in addition to their equivalents, different species of melon, such as pelts, pelvis, green leather, seedless melons and refined gifts, covering different market needs, such as mass circulation and gift consumption. The melon species also contain a variety of products, such as white cortex, platinum, yellow cortex, merciless garnets, mosaics and cortex, with different characteristics in terms of maturity, fruit, sugar, resistance, etc., and farmers can choose among themselves。
Reference points for the selection of the melon
Growers can consider several dimensions in the selection of seeds, first of all by giving preference to those that have been officially registered, after multiple rounds of regional trials, with more stable performance and more secure suitability for the local planting environment; secondly by combining their selection with their own planting scenes, with differences in the requirements of the early ripening of sheds and the upscaling of suitable varieties in terms of maturity, sustainability, and selection of suitable varieties in accordance with their own listing plans; and also by taking into account the actual feedback from farmers who have grown this variety in the same region to understand the actual performance of the varieties in terms of disease resistance, production, marketing of fruits and fruits, with the possibility of small area trials, confirmation of suitability followed by large-scale expansion and reduction of the risk of cultivation。
Knowledge questions and answers
Q: what are the central concerns in the selection of melons in the jilin area
A: the core needs to focus on three points: first, the temperature suitability of the varieties, matching the duration of the frost-free period in the jilin area, avoiding the problem of delayed maturity and declining yields due to insufficient temperature; second, the qualification of the varieties, giving preference to those officially registered through national or local authorities, and more stable sexual performance; and third, the selection of counterparts in the context of their own distribution channels, such as the choice of small fruit varieties for high-end gift markets and the choice of large fruit varieties for high yield and durable storage in large circulation markets。
