Hami melon planting precautions and field management key points

Hami melons are grown in many regions of China, but those from ** are the most famous. With social progress, greenhouse technology has been widely developed in the planting industry. Hami melons grown in greenhouses taste sweeter and bring more profit, but there are still many problems during planting that affect yield and profit. Follow the editor below to learn about the precautions for planting Hami melons.

1. Seedling stage management

Seedling stage management of Hami melons is a relatively critical matter. If management is improper during the seedling stage, the later yield will be extremely low. At the seedling stage, the most important thing to pay attention to is the survival rate. After emergence, be sure to prevent seedling death. If seedling death occurs, replant in time. In addition, if weeds appear and affect the seedlings, they should be understood and pulled out to avoid weak seedling growth.

2. Temperature

The reason Hami melons from ** in China are so famous is that the day-night temperature difference there is very large. Therefore, when planting Hami melons, be sure to pay attention to the temperature difference. Daytime temperatures should be higher, while nighttime temperatures should be lower. This is conducive to the accumulation of sugars in Hami melons, so the sweetness of the Hami melons grown this way will be higher. At each growth stage, Hami melons have relatively strict temperature requirements, so be sure to pay attention during planting.

3. Topdressing

During the growth process of Hami melons, a large amount of nutrients is consumed. When the base fertilizer is insufficient, appropriate topdressing is needed. When the seedlings grow to 5cm, some urea can be appropriately applied as topdressing to promote seedling growth. At this time, it is recommended to dissolve urea in water, dilute it, and then pour it on, which can both avoid root burn and speed up fertilizer absorption. Topdressing at the flowering stage must be carried out before the female flowers open, and can be applied by digging holes between the plants. Fertilization at the fruiting stage is generally carried out after the end of the first fruit harvest.

4. Water

For Hami melons, their growth and development require not only light and temperature, but also attention to water needs. Proper watering can ensure their normal growth. When Hami melons are flowering, their water demand at this stage is very large. Water reasonably according to climate changes and the dry and wet conditions of the soil, avoiding soil that is too dry or too wet. In addition, trellising and guiding the vines can also increase ventilation in the garden, allowing the plants to photosynthesize better, accumulate water, and increase yield.
