When will the watermelon plant the best? Discover the secret timetable of the farmers
On the summer of inflammation, an ice-cold watermelon is in hand as if the whole world had become cooler. However, have you ever wondered when this sweet fruit will be sowed that it will be on the market in the summer? Today, we come to reveal the best time to sow watermelons and to walk together into the secret timetable of the melons。
I. Climate conditions are key: when is it best to sow watermelon
Watermelon, as a warm crop, is demanding climate conditions. In general, when soil temperatures are stable above 15°c and the average daily temperature is around 20°c, it is the best time to sow watermelon. This condition usually occurs between april and may of the spring and may vary slightly from region to region。
The question arises: why wait until now? Can't we plant early
In fact, early seeding, while theoretically feasible, is more risky. Early seeding and low soil temperatures are detrimental to seed growth and root growth and can easily lead to rotten and weak seedlings. Delays in seeding may miss the best growing season, affecting the quality and yield of the fruit。
Ii. Geographical differences: what is the difference between the time of sowing in the north and the south
The vastness of the country and the significant differences in climatic conditions between the north and the south also directly affect the planting time of watermelons。
In the north, the slower recovery of spring temperatures and the late thawing of soils usually delayed planting until mid-may or even late. In the southern region, due to the rapid recovery of spring temperatures and early defrosting of the soil, planting can be done well in advance of early april or even the end of march。
The question comes again: why does the planting time vary so much between north and south
This is mainly due to differences in climatic and soil conditions. In the northern spring, low temperatures and low rainfall, and dry soil, are detrimental to the growth of watermelons, while in the southern spring high temperatures, heavy rainfall and wet soil are more conducive to the growth and development of watermelons。
Iii. Varieties selection: what is the timing of the planting of different species of watermelons
Watermelon varieties are numerous and each has its own unique growth habits and adaptability. Therefore, the best seeding times will also need to be selected according to the characteristics of the species。
For example, pre-maturity varieties are usually sowed earlier than late-maturity varieties in order to be marketed earlier. Some of the more cold-resistant varieties, on the other hand, could be planted well in advance to take advantage of the warm climate of spring。
The question arises: how do we know which species fit the planting time in their own area
This usually involves consulting local agricultural extension sectors or experienced melon farmers. They can recommend the most suitable watermelon varieties and planting times for you, depending on the climatic conditions and soil conditions in your area。
Iv. Preparatory work before seeding: how can we ensure successful seeding
Once the best planting time has been set, pre-plant preparation is required to ensure successful planting。
1. Soil treatment: soils need to be fertilized, levelled, fertilized and disinfected before seeding. Deep runoff can deplete the soil and improve its permeability; levelling can ensure even seedling; fertilizer can provide sufficient nutrients for watermelons; and disinfection can reduce infestation in the soil。
Seed treatment: seed treatment is also required before seeding. This includes such steps as tan, immersion and seedling. Sunbreeding can increase seed sprouts; impregnation can expand the seed to the point where it can grow; and seedlings can pre-ember the seed and shorten the growth cycle。
3. Seeding methods: when seeding, clear weather is chosen and treated seeds are sowed into the soil at a certain range. The sowing depth is 2-3 cm and too deep or too shallow for seed growth and growth。
The question arises: what more needs to be noted after planting
The planting also requires good field management. These include water, fertilizer, weeding, pest control, etc. Only by doing so will it be possible to ensure the healthy growth of the watermelon and, ultimately, its harvest。
V. Case analysis: sharing of successful experiences of the guarantores
After learning of the best time to sow watermelons and of the preparation before sowing, we look at the sharing of successful experiences among some of the melon farmers。
Master zhang is a senior guano from some part of the north who has been growing watermelons for over 30 years. He told us that he would sow watermelon every year in mid-may, at a time when temperatures were right, the soil was wet and the watermelon was very good for growth. Before seeding, the soil is treated in depth and fertilized in advance, and he selects cold-resistant, pre-maturized varieties for seeding. After planting, he regularly waters, fertilizes and weeds to ensure healthy growth of the watermelon. In the end, his watermelon was always sold at a good price on the market。
Mrs. Lee is a representative of the guanon in the south. She told us she started planting watermelons in early april every year. Due to high spring temperatures and heavy rainfall in the south, she needed to pay special attention to drainage and pest prevention. Before seeding, she chooses to sow with more resistant varieties and perform soil disinfection earlier. After planting, she also regularly sprays pesticides and fertilizers to ensure the quality and yield of watermelons。
Through the above analysis and sharing, one conclusion can be drawn: the optimal planting time for watermelons is not static, but needs to be considered in the light of climatic conditions, geographical differences and variety characteristics. Only with these key factors in mind can the watermelon be healthyly grown and successfully marketed during the best growing season。
In practice, however, there are still some errors and confusion in many of the guarans. For example, some gourds are blindly seeking to be marketed early and seeded early; others ignore the importance of soil and seed treatment; and others are poorly managed and in place. These can lead to a decline in the quality and production of watermelons and even economic losses。
It is therefore important that, as a guaranty or as a friend who wants to plant a watermelon, the best timing and preparation for the planting of a watermelon be carefully studied and mastered. At the same time, there is a need to continuously learn lessons and continuously improve and improve their own cultivation techniques and management. Only in this way will it be possible to realize its dream of growing wealth in a dynamic market where competition is neutral and undefeating。
