Planting method of cantaloupe

Pumpkins are propagated by sowing, mainly in spring or autumn. Cultivation methods are divided into open field, simple ground cover and protected field cultivation (also divided into small arch shed and greenhouse cultivation), each with its own characteristics.

General planting method:

When the bud length is about 1.5cm, choose a place with plenty of sunshine and warm weather. If you can't sow in rainy days, you can put the seeds in a cool place to control the growth of buds.

Sowing nutrient soil should be prepared 20-30 days before sowing. Selecting disease-free soil and farmyard manure without planting melons and vegetables for preparation. Usually, 6 parts of garden soil are mixed with 4 parts of rotten horse manure or manure.

Remove impurities, select clean and plump seeds with a thousand-grain weight of about 200g, put them into a clay pot or other oil-free container, soak them in cold water first, then blanch them with warm water at 50-55℃, keep stirring constantly, keep 15-20 minutes, naturally cool them to 20-30℃, soak them for 4-6 hours, and take them out and use 65438.

Then air-dry, and when it is half dry, it can be heated to accelerate germination, and the appropriate temperature is 25℃. If the seed quantity is large, it can be turned over during germination to promote orderly germination, but it will not be turned over after germination.

Extended data:

Life habits of cantaloupe;

1, temperature

Cold-resistant but not high-temperature-resistant. The optimum temperature for the growth period is 20-25℃, and the growth is slow when it is lower than 65438 05℃, and stops when it is lower than 8℃. It grows slowly above 30℃ and is easy to get sick. The suitable temperature for seed germination is 25-30℃, and it can germinate at 65438 03℃, but it is very slow. Germination at 30-35℃ is the fastest, but it is easy to cause overgrowth.

2. Lighting equipment

The light intensity is moderate, and it is resistant to weak light, but insufficient light is easy to cause virtual length. Plants with short photoperiod are beneficial to the growth of stems and leaves under long-day conditions, and bear fruit earlier under short-day conditions.

3. Humidity

Love wet, not drought-tolerant, especially in the melon-bearing period, the soil should be kept wet in order to obtain high yield. Viral diseases are easy to occur under high temperature and drought conditions; But high temperature and high humidity are also easy to cause powdery mildew.
