Detailed Explanation of Common Pest and Disease Control Methods for Winter Melon
Cultivation Method of Ground-Trailing Winter Melon The cultivation method of ground-trailing winter melon is: the plants grow by trailing on the ground, with relatively wide spacing between plants and rows, generally about 300 plants per mu. Management is relatively extensive, and the stems and vines are basically left to grow freely or the side vines are removed before fruiting, then allowed to grow at will after fruiting. Its advantages are less labor required and relatively low cost. The disadvantages are poor melon shape, and...
Pest ControlUnderground pests such as wireworms, cutworms, root maggots, mole crickets, and white grubs: drench the roots with Jinsheng 1000x solution, 0.5 jin per plant (note: use with caution during the seedling stage of cucurbits and lettuce); Melon fruit fly: spray with Jinsheng 1000x solution (use with caution during the seedling stage of cucurbits and lettuce), once every 3-5 days, for 2-3 consecutive times. After spraying, cover with breathable bags or paper bags, and remove the damaged melons; Thrips: spray with Aimeile 30000x solution + Jinsheng 1000x solution, once every 3-5 days, for 2-3 consecutive times; Leafminer: spray with Jinsheng 1000x solution once every 3-5 days, for 2-3 consecutive times, then once every 7-10 days; Aphids: spray with Zhenya 1500x solution, once every 3-5 days, for 2-3 consecutive times; Red spider mites: spray with Pingman 1500x solution, once every 3-5 days, for 2-3 consecutive times.
Common Disease Treatment Formulas
Fusarium wilt (occurs from seedling stage to flowering stage, most prevalent during flowering stage): the formula is 50% carbendazim wettable powder 500x solution + Yunda-120 1500x solution for root drenching, once every 7-10 days, for 2-3 consecutive times, 0.4-0.5 jin per plant; Phytophthora blight (occurs from seedling stage to fruiting stage, most prevalent during fruiting stage): the formula is Anke 20g + 80% Daconil 75g + Yunda-120 30 ml mixed with 60-75 kg of water, or Baisite 600-800x solution + Yunda-120 1500x solution or Xinluling 600-800x solution + Yunda-120 1500x solution, once every 7 days, by spraying, for 3-4 consecutive sprays; Anthracnose: the formula is Haolike 4000x solution + Yunda-120 1500x solution or prochloraz 1500x solution + Yunda-120 1500x solution, spray once every 7-10 days, for 2-3 consecutive times; Gummy stem blight: the formula is Haolike 4000x solution + Yunda-120 1500x solution or 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder 600x solution + Yunda-120 1500x solution, spray once every 7-10 days, for 2-3 consecutive times; Viral disease: the formula is 1.5% plant disease emulsion 1000x solution + Yunda-120 1500x solution + Tiedaling 3000x solution + Zhenya 1500x solution or 20% virus A wettable powder 500x solution + Yunda-120 1500x solution + Tiedaling 3000x solution + Zhenya 1500x solution by spraying, once every 7-10 days, for 2-3 consecutive times.
In addition, for sunscald, the control method is to cover the fruit with melon leaves to avoid direct sunlight on the fruit.
