Fertilization: After planting, apply fertilizer once every 7 to 10 days on sunny days (10% to 15% human feces and urine, or 0.5% to 1% urea), with light applications in the early stage and heavier applications in the later stage. The key topdressing for winter melon should be carried out from vine training onto the trellis until the young fruit reaches 4 to 5 kg. During this period, in addition to drenching with human feces and urine, apply decomposed... per mu
        1. Apply sufficient basal fertilizer: When preparing the beds and land, apply the basal fertilizer in a long furrow opened in the middle of the bed. Apply 2000-3000 kg of organic fertilizer and 50 kg of superphosphate per mu.
2. Skillfully apply seedling fertilizer: When the seedlings have grown 5-6 true leaves, apply 10-15 kg of three-element compound fertilizer (N, P, K content each 15%) and 8-10 kg of urea per mu. This promotes vine extension, increases the plant's nutrient accumulation, and helps female flower formation and fruit setting. Spraying New High Lipid Film on the plant surface can prevent pathogen infection, improve resistance to natural disasters, increase photosynthetic intensity, and protect the seedlings to grow vigorously. After the first female flower opens, control fertilizer and water to prevent excessive vegetative growth. Spraying Flower Promotion King No. 3 can convert the plant's vegetative growth into reproductive nutrition, inhibit excessive growth of the main shoot, promote flower bud differentiation, and produce more flowers.
3. Heavily apply fruit-strengthening fertilizer: Once the young fruit begins, start spraying Strong Melon Pedicel Spirit, which can thicken the pedicel, strengthen the targeted nutrient transport, and promote rapid fruit development. When the fruit grows to 3-4 kg, strengthen fertilizer and water management. Winter melon has a high water requirement during growth, so it should be irrigated in time, carried out in the morning, irrigating to half the height of the bed and draining after the whole bed is moistened, keeping the soil moist, and paying attention to draining accumulated water during the rainy period.
