Technology and management of winter melon cultivation
Wintermelon is a common vegetable, and planting techniques and management are essential for improving yields and quality. Landing is the key, and the winter melon prefers lax, fertile and well-drained soils, and recommends the choice of a place with plenty of sunlight. Seeds need to be treated prior to planting, so that they can be immersed in warm water about 50°c for about 20 minutes and then dried up, which can increase the gestation rate. The planting time is generally chosen in spring and temperatures are stabilized at more than 15°c. Shrimp management should be careful to keep the soil wet, but avoid water accumulation, while periodically applying fertilization to promote the growth of seedlings. In winter melons are grown in a timely manner by setting up chickens to prevent them from entangling each other to influence ventilation and light. Pest and pest control is also the focus of management, with common diseases such as frosted and powdered diseases that can be combated using biological or low-toxic chemical pesticides。
Cultivation methods and techniques
Cultivation methods and techniques for winter melons include, inter alia, seeding, shifting cultivation and field management. In the case of seedlings, the option is to sow the seeding in a nursery or on a nursery, at a depth of approximately 1-2 cm, then sow the seeding with a thin layer of soil and keep it wet. The planting is usually carried out when the seedlings grow to 3-4 leafs, before the planting takes place, with deep tillage and the application of base fattening, usually from 2000 to 3,000 kg of organic fertilizer per acre. Plantation should be carried out at a distance of 50 cm and approximately 1. 5 m. In terms of field management, there is a need for adequate moisture during the growth of winter melons, especially during flowering seasons, but also to avoid water accumulation in the fields. It is also an important link in the pursuit of nitrogen fertilizer, which can be applied approximately 10 days after planting, and potassium phosphorus fertilizer during flowering. Timely triming of side branches and leaves and increased ventilation contribute to improved productivity and quality。
Cultivation techniques
The techniques used to plant winter melons cover all the stages from crop selection to harvest. In the selection of seeds, highly pathogenic and productive varieties, such as black or green melons, should be chosen. Soil disinfection before seeding can reduce the occurrence of pests by using lime or ff solution. When seeding takes place, attention is paid to temperature control, with a suitable growth temperature of 20-30°c for winter melons, which affects growth at low or high temperatures. In winter melon growth, pollination is a key component, enabling artificially assisted pollination and increasing sit-in rates. During periods of fruit expansion, attention is paid to water management and soil is humid, but water cannot be accumulated. When harvesting, it is generally chosen to take place in the middle of the sun and avoid rain-dicking, so as not to affect storage and transport. The storage of winter melons also requires attention to maintain a dry and ventilated environment that can extend the shelf life. Scientific planting techniques can improve the production and quality of winter melons and bring greater economic benefits to growers。
