Off-season Pollution-free Cultivation Techniques for Muskmelon
1. Variety Selection Choose early-to-mid-maturing varieties, such as Elizabeth and Western Shipping and other excellent muskmelon varieties. These varieties have good flavor, wide adaptability, and strong stress resistance, and generally can achieve a yield of 1500-2000 kg per mu. 2. Seedling Raising Choose a field with higher terrain and loose, fertile soil as the seedbed.

High-yield Cultivation Measures and Technical Points for Melons
I. Sowing Period For spring protected cultivation, the temperature inside the greenhouse should be stable above 10°C at transplanting time; counting back 30-35 days from this point is the optimal sowing period. II. Raising Strong Seedlings 1. Preparation of nutrient soil: decomposed barnyard manure, horse manure (or chicken manure), and sieved field topsoil, in a ratio of 3:2:

Key Technical Points for Greenhouse Management of Muskmelon After Transplanting
1. Greenhouse temperature regulation After transplanting, in the early stage, in order to raise the greenhouse temperature and promote seedling recovery, the greenhouse film should be fastened tightly, and the straw mats should be uncovered and covered in a timely manner; before flowering and fruit setting, the daytime greenhouse temperature should be maintained at 25-28°C, and at night at 16-18°C. When the greenhouse temperature exceeds 28°C, the greenhouse film should be opened for ventilation. As the plants grow

Methods and Technical Key Points for Controlling Powdery Mildew in Melons
1. Select disease-resistant varieties. There are obvious differences in disease resistance among different melon varieties, so selecting disease-resistant varieties is the key to controlling the degree of disease occurrence. 2. Clean the field. After the crop is harvested, weeds and residues should be removed promptly. During the melon growing period, weed promptly, remove ⟦4 <p>1. Select disease-resistant varieties.

Scientific management to enhance plant disease resistance. Apply sufficient basal fertilizer, especially heavily apply decomposed organic fertilizer, and plow deeply and harrow finely; prevent excessive vegetative growth and premature senescence of plants, organize branches and vines promptly, and strengthen ventilation and light penetration; during the mid-growth stage, pay attention to topdressing phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and use foliar fertilizer well to cultivate strong branches and vines and enhance the disease resistance of the population.</p><p>4. Scientific irrigation. Create environmental conditions suitable for melon growth but unfavorable for the occurrence and development of powdery mildew. Irrigation should follow 4 principles: do not water on cloudy days but water on sunny days, do not water in the afternoon but water in the morning, do not water heavily but water lightly, do not water on the surface but water under the surface (that is, subsurface irrigation under film).</p><p>5.

Methods for preventing and treating Fusarium wilt in melons, a must-read for growers
Symptoms This disease can occur throughout the entire growth period of melons. When seedlings are infected, the leaves of the diseased seedlings become lighter in color, gradually wilt, and finally die. When the stem is cut open, the vascular bundles can be seen to have discolored. When the disease occurs during the mature plant stage, the leaves of the plant wilt and droop from bottom to top, some leaf edges turn brown or produce brown necrotic

What are the reasons for poor coloration and low sweetness in muskmelons
Muskmelons grown in plastic greenhouses are about to hit the market in large quantities. Every buyer hopes to buy muskmelons that are good in color, sweet and crisp, and farmers who grow muskmelons especially hope that their muskmelons will be liked by buyers and fetch a good price. Currently on the market

Key Techniques for Cultivating Muskmelon in Low Tunnels
Variety selection: Choose varieties with a growing period of within 100 days, early flowering, easy fruit setting, early maturity and strong disease resistance, such as Elizabeth and Zhongtian No. 1. Raising strong seedlings: Seedlings are generally raised in greenhouses or hotbeds, with the seedling raising time in mid-to-late February. Seeds

Control Methods for Anthracnose in Muskmelon Cultivation
It is a fungal disease. Muskmelon anthracnose occurs severely in the middle and late stages of plant growth, mainly damaging stems, leaves and fruits. After harvest, infected fruits will rot in storage and transport when exposed to a humid environment and become unfit to eat. On diseased seedlings, semicircular brown lesions appear on the edges of the cotyledons.

Preparatory Work and Transplanting Techniques for Greenhouse Cultivation of Muskmelon
① Transplanting at the right time plays an important role in the early ripening of muskmelon and in improving economic returns. The transplanting period is closely related to the ground temperature inside the greenhouse at the time, so the transplanting period differs from region to region. In the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River it is in early to mid-March, in North China in late March, and in cold regions such as the Northwest and Northeast in early to mid-April.

What are the common problems when transplanting muskmelons?
(1) Preparation of the planting site. After the previous crop is harvested, plowing should be done immediately. Because muskmelons require a loose and deep tilth layer, the plowing depth should be 25-30 cm, and should not be shallower than 20 cm. Deep plowing can thicken the loose soil layer, increase soil pores, activate the soil, and
