When topdressing winter melon, attention should be paid to the rational combination of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. If the plants are growing vigorously, topdressing can be reduced or omitted. If the leaf color is pale or yellowing, topdressing should be applied promptly. In the early growth stage of winter melon, topdressing should be reduced. Around the opening of female flowers, water and fertilizer should be controlled. After 1 to 2 fruits have set, heavy fertilization should be applied, with 15 kg to 20 kg of urea and 15 kg of compound fertilizer per mu. After that, until about 10 days before harvest, topdress once every half a month, and the amount of topdressing can be appropriately reduced.
