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

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

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.

Clean the field. After the crop is harvested, weeds and residues should be removed promptly. During the melon growing period, weed promptly, remove diseased leaves, and take weeds, residues, and diseased leaves outside the field to be burned in a centralized manner.</p><p>3. 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. Chemical control. Use 15% triadimefon wettable powder at 1000-1500 times dilution, or 40% Daconil suspension concentrate at 800-1000 times dilution, or 40% Fuxing emulsifiable concentrate at 6000 times dilution, or 10% Shigao water-dispersible granules at 2000 times dilution, or 30% Tefuling wettable powder at 5000 times dilution, or 50% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder at 1000 times dilution, etc., alternating sprays for control, spraying once every 7-10 days, for 2-3 consecutive sprays. Medication is prohibited 7 days before melon harvest to allow safe harvesting.</p>

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

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:

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.

Detailed Guide to Greenhouse Cultivation Methods for Muskmelon
I. Variety Selection and Raising Strong Seedlings For variety selection, it is advisable to choose varieties such as Zhuangyuan, Honey World, Elizabeth, Luhoutian No. 1, Luhoutian No. 3, and Yinling. Raising Strong Seedlings 1. Sowing Period The suitable sowing period for solar greenhouses is from early December to late January, and the planting period is from mid-January to

What are the causes of melon fruit abortion and the control methods?
1. Causes of fruit abortion 1. Temperature too high or too low. When the temperature is too high, photosynthetic accumulation is low and respiration consumption is high, which easily causes the vines to grow excessively, leading to malnutrition and fruit abortion; when the temperature is too low, the root absorption capacity weakens, affecting photosynthesis and leading to nutrient deficiency and fruit abortion. 2. Soil too dry

Reasons for Low Fruit Set in Muskmelon and Methods to Improve It
I. Reasons Why Plants Are Prone to Poor Fruit Set 1. Excessive vegetative growth or weak, spindly plants. During the growing period of muskmelon, applying too much nitrogen fertilizer or cultivating in a protected environment with high temperature and high humidity and poor ventilation prevents vegetative growth and reproductive growth from being coordinated, often resulting in excessive vegetative growth or weak, spindly plants.
