What is the method of scaffolding cultivation of watermelon?

Speaking of watermelons, are many people drooling? Watermelon, as one of the fruits in great demand, becomes an essential fruit for every family when the weather is hot. In recent years, the profit of watermelon is still considerable, and there are many melon farmers who grow watermelon. The common planting method of watermelon is crawling cultivation. With the continuous development of science and technology and the improvement of cultivation techniques in recent years, scaffolding cultivation has been adopted in some areas, which can increase the rational utilization of fields, increase planting density, improve space utilization, reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases during planting, and farmers can also obtain good economic benefits. The following small series will explain in detail how to grow watermelons with brackets.

Watermelon is a light-loving crop. The way and height of scaffolding should be considered separately from the growth of the whole plant, provided that it does not affect the ventilation and light transmission in the field. The support can be made of plastic rope hanger, herringbone frame and fence frame. The fence frame is made of vertical bars with a specified distance, tied into a fence shape, and let the vines of watermelon grow along. The result is. This one-way mode is easy to manage, and the ventilation and light transmission effect in the field is good, but the fixity is poor, and it is easy to tilt in windy weather without wind resistance. The herringbone frame is simple in structure and can ensure herringbone. Double-row farmers can choose this way, but the ventilation and light transmission effect is not very good, and it is a bit troublesome to operate and manage. Plastic rope cranes are mostly used for greenhouse cultivation, with low cost and good ventilation, and are only suitable for protected cultivation.

In scaffolding cultivation, the most important job of watermelon is to tie vines on the shelf. When the vines grow to about 65 cm, they begin to be bound one after another, which needs to be determined according to the number of brackets and seedlings. When there are few melons and vines and the bracket is relatively high, the S-shaped method can be used. Generally, the distance is 30 to 40 cm, and the result is partially tied to the crossbar. If there are many melons, the bracket is lower. The fonts that can be used are fixed. When the weight of young fruit reaches 0.5 kg, prepare the required grass circle and hang it up. It is very simple to fix it evenly on the bracket with three slings.

Watermelon is a fertilizer-loving crop. To increase the yield, it is necessary to apply fertilizer scientifically and master the law of fertilization when planting. Pay attention to the use of organic fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer is the premise of watermelon quality, and the use of nitrogen fertilizer should be appropriate. These processes mainly use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Phosphate fertilizer can promote plant growth and development, and can blossom and set fruit quickly. Potassium fertilizer can increase the sugar accumulation in the later stage of watermelon expansion, improve the taste and greatly increase the commodity value. Bian Xiao reminds growers here that watermelon regularly absorbs nutrients under the condition that many people neglect planting and fertilization, with less demand in the early stage, the largest absorption in the middle stage and gradually decreasing in the later stage. Therefore, he used nitrogen fertilizer properly in the early stage to promote the vigorous growth of plants, and needed to supplement phosphorus fertilizer in the middle stage of plant growth, which could effectively promote flowering, and potassium fertilizer could be added in the later stage to improve sugar accumulation and fruit quality.

Watermelon mainly absorbs water from two aspects, one is from the soil, and the other is from the transpiration of leaves to keep the air humidity in the air that emits water in the body. Of course, each variety needs different water. Watermelon varieties can appropriately reduce the amount of watering. At present, it is necessary to ensure sufficient water sources for planting fruit varieties, slightly reduce the watering amount for early-maturing varieties, and appropriately increase the middle and late-maturing varieties. Before watering, according to the local weather conditions, but when the air humidity is high and the seedbed is full of water, it can be reduced appropriately and watered artificially. Watermelon seedlings, if the soil is slightly dry, seedlings wilting, drooping, lack of water, you can properly spray water to transplant seedlings for 2 ~ 4 days, watering. Promote the growth of seedlings and increase the amount of watering during the plant growth period.

Watermelon cultivation has various diseases. Although shed cultivation can relatively reduce the occurrence of diseases, when diseases occur, it will also seriously affect the income of growers. In order to grow better watermelons, we should also know the types of diseases. Mainly divided into bacterial diseases, fungal diseases or viral diseases. Fusarium wilt and Fusarium wilt are common, which are similar to symptoms of water shortage at the beginning of the disease, and obviously return to normal at noon in the morning and evening. Once they fail to recover after illness, growers need to observe carefully. Physical control can be combined with chemical control, and safe and effective chemical agents can be used to minimize the harm in drug use, so as to achieve the purposes of high quality and high yield, reduce pesticide pollution and reduce costs.

Bian Xiao would like to remind you that chemical control should also be used rationally, as soon as possible, and pesticides with high efficiency and low toxicity should be used. Disinfection before use can effectively reduce pests and diseases in the later period and improve the chemical control effect. The above contents are explained by Bian Xiao today, and the management methods of watermelon cultivation are matched. Fruit farmers who eat watermelon in our family can refer to the above points and try to use this method, which can effectively use land resources and achieve high yield and bumper harvest. I'll share it here today, hoping to help you.
