What season is it planted in? Key points of high-yield cultivation techniques
AbstractSeedling raising: first soak the seeds to promote germination, the most suitable temperature is around 25 degrees; site selection: generally choose open-field planting, first loosen the soil, apply base fertilizer, then transplant the seedlings over, and after planting, water with settling water. Fertilizing: after transplanting and survival, apply one more seedling-promoting fertilizer; after picking the first batch of cutting melons, apply one more compound fertilizer. Watering: cutting melon leaves are very large and have vigorous transpiration, so more watering is needed to ensure the normal growth needs of cutting melons.
Cutting melon is a very magical vegetable. It can be cut and eaten freely while it is still growing. Cutting melon does not have high requirements for the growing environment, soil, climate, and so on, and its growth habits are also very similar to the pumpkins commonly seen every day. However, its nutritional value is very high, and it also contains certain medicinal value. Next, let us get to know it together.
What season is cutting melon planted in
Cutting melon can be planted in most areas of our country. Unlike other vegetables, it does not have such high requirements for the growing environment and soil, and it can generally be planted in both spring and autumn.
However, if it is grown by specialized growers, they will certainly still pay great attention to yield. Our country is very large in area and spans a wide range, and the climate changes every year, so the specific planting time in different regions is also different.
Cutting melon is generally planted twice a year. In the central region of our country, planting generally begins in March every year and July of that same year. In the southern region, planting begins in March every year and October of that same year.
High-yield cultivation techniques for cutting melon
Cutting melon has low planting requirements, but if you want to pursue high yield, there are still many techniques.
1. First soak the seeds to promote germination and raise seedlings. The most suitable temperature is around 25 degrees. If the temperature is too low, germination will be very slow. If the temperature is too high, germination will be fast, but the quality of the young sprouts will not be very good.
2. Cutting melon is generally planted in open fields. First loosen the soil well, apply base fertilizer, transplant strong-growing seedlings over, and after planting, water with settling water.
3. After the cutting melon seedlings are transplanted and survive, apply one more seedling-promoting fertilizer. After picking the first batch of cutting melons, it is also necessary to apply one more compound fertilizer to ensure that the later cutting melons grow long and grow abundantly.
4. The root system of cutting melon is relatively developed, but its leaves are very large and have vigorous transpiration, so during the period of growing cutting melon, more watering is needed to ensure the needs of cutting melon growth. However, it should not be watered excessively, as that will backfire and cause cutting melon to drop flowers and fruits during growth.
The planting conditions for cutting melon are not strict, and many friends can try growing it in pots on a balcony. It is just that cutting melon grows very long, so a trellis also needs to be set up on the balcony to allow cutting melon to grow better. However, in order to eat fresh and nutritious cutting melon, I believe nothing will be too difficult for everyone.
