Detailed Explanation of Key Points of Greenhouse Melon Cultivation Techniques

In summer, melons are no worry to sell, and sales are very high. So what are the greenhouse melon cultivation techniques? Let's take a look!

1. Greenhouse Melon Cultivation Techniques

When cultivating melons in a greenhouse, attention should be paid to the overall temperature. Keep the temperature between 28-32°C, and lower it appropriately at night, with 18-20°C being suitable. The base fertilizer is mainly superphosphate, ammonium bicarbonate, and cake fertilizer. During the fruit-setting period, artificial pollination should be carried out, which can ensure sweet melons with fewer deformities, and spraying growth regulators such as fruit-setting agents can speed up the expansion rate.

2. What Causes Melon Fruit Cracking

1. Variety reasons: Varieties with thin and brittle skin are prone to fruit cracking.

2. Soil drought: Excessive nitrogen fertilizer causes obstacles to the plant's absorption of boron and calcium.

3. If the fruit encounters continuous low temperatures in the early stage of expansion, development stops, and then continues to expand afterward, causing fruit cracking; or if the soil is dry, fruit development is hindered, and later excessive watering or heavy rain causes imbalanced water supply, resulting in fruit cracking.

4. During harvest, the fruit skin is thin, and vibration causes fruit cracking.

5. Excessive irrigation in the near-ripening period.

6. After long cloudy days suddenly turning clear or excessive temperature regulation, because the temperature rises too quickly and too high.
