How to plant pumpkins to get melons?

In order to destroy the top advantage of the main vine of pumpkin, that is, topping, removing the main vine and removing the growing point, so as to promote its lateral buds to grow long branches, thus controlling the growth of the main vine, promoting the reproductive growth of the lateral vine, and thus bearing melons.

Pumpkins produce the most melons in autumn, which is mainly related to the temperature. Pumpkin is a kind of heat-resistant and cold-resistant vegetable, which grows rapidly in hot and rainy weather, that is, pumpkin seedlings grow wildly, which is what growers say. Pumpkin seedlings will absorb a lot of nutrients, and the nutritional growth is greater than the reproductive growth.

In hot and rainy weather, there are fewer female flowers in pumpkins. Without female flowers, melons will naturally not bear fruit. Under normal circumstances, there are many high-temperature male flowers and many low-temperature female flowers, which can now belong to summer and summer. The temperature difference between day and night is small, which is not conducive to the opening of female flowers and less natural melons.

Matters needing attention in pumpkin planting

1. Pumpkins can pollinate themselves in sunny weather after flowering. If it is raining continuously, it needs artificial pollination, otherwise it will only blossom without fruit. When pollinating, it is necessary to choose the time when male flowers and female flowers bloom at the same time. A female flower with a melon is a male flower without a melon.

2. When the pumpkin seedlings grow big enough, remember to set up the whole vine, let the melon vines climb along the scaffolding, and remember to pinch off the head of the pumpkin seedlings and let the side branches grow smoothly, so that more pumpkins will be produced.
