Key Techniques for High-Efficiency Cultivation of Soybean Intercropped with Melon
Soybean intercropped with melon at a 4:2 ratio, with Chinese cabbage replanted as the following crop after melon harvest, achieves three harvests from one field and an income of more than 15,000 yuan per hectare, making it a new high-yield and high-efficiency planting model. 1. Selecting new varieties 1.1 For the soybean variety, select Jinta soybean, which has strong branching and super-high yield. Jinta soybean has 6 outstanding characteristics: 1) Strong growth vigor. Jinta soybean has a plant height of 70-80 cm, thick and sturdy stems, and high resistance to lodging; 2) Strong branching ability. A single plant has 8-10 branches, with a maximum of 16 branches. The branches grow upward, and the plant takes on a fan shape without breaking branches, overcoming the tendency of strongly branching soybeans to break branches, resulting in an ideal plant type; 3) Dense pod setting. A single plant sets 200-250 pods, with a maximum of 400 pods. The pods are so dense that the stems are hidden, 2-3 times that of other soybeans. Most pods are 3-seeded, with a yield of 75-100 g per plant and a maximum of 400 g; 4) Excellent quality. The beans are golden yellow, large and uniform, with a 100-seed weight of 22-25 g and high oil and protein content; 5) Strong stress resistance. The growth period is 120 days and requires an effective accumulated temperature of 2450°C. It is drought-resistant, moisture-tolerant, and salt-alkali tolerant, and prefers fertilizer and water. It is suitable for planting in Jilin, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, and Inner Mongolia in areas with an effective accumulated temperature above 2450°C; 6) High and stable yield. The yield per hectare is 4000-5000 kg, making it a high-yielding, high-quality soybean variety.

Six management measures in the melon patch make melons sweeter
Widen the day-night temperature difference A larger day-night temperature difference helps the accumulation of photosynthetic products (sugars). During the fruiting stage of melons, the day-night temperature difference should be widened as much as possible. Generally, the daytime temperature inside the greenhouse should be kept at 30°C-35°C, the nighttime temperature at 13°C-14°C, and the day-night temperature difference at 16°C-18°C. Apply less chemical fertilizer and more organic fertilizer. Basing fertilization mainly on organic fertilizer and applying no or little chemical fertilizer is another effective measure to increase the sweetness of melons. Generally, organic fertilizer is mainly chicken manure and soybean cake, and per mu a base application of

How to make watermelon rind taste good? The method for making licorice watermelon rind strips
Watermelon rind is rich in carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins, and has effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying, and promoting urination. The following introduces the technique for making licorice watermelon rind strips: Cut into strips. Thoroughly wash fresh watermelon rind with clean water, drain off the water, remove the green outer skin and the red flesh, then use a stainless steel knife to cut the watermelon rind into strips 0.2 cm wide and 6 cm long. Salting. First mix sodium benzoate and table salt, in amounts of 0.1% and 10% of the weight of the watermelon rind strips respectively. Then, in a container, salt in the order of one layer of watermelon rind and one layer of mixed salt, with a somewhat larger amount of mixed salt on the topmost layer. The salting time is generally 24 to 48 hours. Rinsing. Put the salted watermelon rind strips into a container holding clean water, changing the water once every 1 hour, until the salt content in the watermelon rind strips drops to 1% (the salt content is tested with a handheld salinity refractometer). Sugar processing. Put the rinsed watermelon rind strips into a bamboo basket and drain off the water. Then, in a container, process with sugar in the order of one layer of watermelon rind strips and one layer of sucrose. The amount of sucrose used is 20% of the fresh watermelon rind strips, and the sugar processing time is 24 to 48 hours. Baking. Take out the sugar-processed watermelon rind, drain off the sugar liquid thoroughly, arrange it evenly on a baking tray, send it into the drying room, and bake at 65 to 70 degrees C until the moisture content of the watermelon rind is 25%. Auxiliary ingredient formula. Calculated per 100 kg of fresh watermelon rind strips, prepare the auxiliary ingredients: sodium saccharin 0.05 kg, monosodium glutamate 0.2 kg, citric acid 0.05 kg, table salt 0.5 kg, potassium sorbate 0.01 kg. Soaking the auxiliary ingredients. Place the dried watermelon rind strips in a container. Dissolve the auxiliary ingredients according to the formula in licorice water, pour into the container, and mix the watermelon rind strips thoroughly from top to bottom. On the second day, mix from top to bottom another 1 to 2 times, leave for 2 days, take out the watermelon rind strips and bake them. The licorice aqueous solution is made by boiling 4 kg of licorice and 25 kg of water per 100 kg of fresh watermelon rind strips, and filtering it. Baking. Evenly arrange the watermelon rind strips that have been soaked with auxiliary ingredients on a baking tray, and send them into the drying room for baking. It is suitable to control the drying room temperature at 60 to 65 degrees C. During baking, turn them several times, and when the moisture content of the product drops to about 25%, the baking is finished. Mixing in licorice powder. Cool the watermelon rind strips at room temperature. Mix licorice powder (used in an amount of 0.1% of the fresh watermelon rind strips) into the watermelon strips, and mix evenly to obtain the finished product.
