How to pick watermelons quickly and with quality to the ground

The right way to pick a watermelon:

1. Choose high-quality varieties: there are more watermelons on the market, small watermelons have Xiaolan, Black Beauty, medium-sized watermelons, etc., and large watermelons are generally less eaten along the coast. When buying a melon plot, specifying the variety may give you unexpected results.

2. Listen to the sound: The skin of the small watermelon is generally crispy, if you hear the crisp sound, it may not be ripe. And other skin color such as black beauty, because the skin is thicker, it sounds a little more covered, if it sounds like winter melon, it will definitely not be ripe.

3. Look at the skin color: Generally speaking, ripe watermelons are generally smoother and shiny, if you look like there are bristles, it means that the ripeness of this melon field may not be enough.

4. Look at the pattern: After the peel melon is ripe, the pattern can generally be scattered, if it is still tight, it will not work.

5. Look at the melon vines: Now sweet potato farmers generally leave melon vines for sale in order to show the beauty of the melon fields. If not, then it's almost done.

I wonder if that's okay?

If you want to be fast, the quality is not guaranteed, and the speed of melon selection is slow to ensure the quality. If you want to be fast and good, choose melons that melon farmers have marked when pollinating, as long as they are pollinated on the same day.

The ripeness of the melon. Please pay attention to three essentials: one is to look at the shape and identify the skin color of the melon and the melon and the navel. Van melon-shaped ends.

Positively, the melon skin is hard and full, the pattern is clear, the epidermis is slightly uneven and wavy, and the melon and melon navel are tightened.

dense, slightly indented, the color of the melon skin against the ground turns yellow, which is a sign that it is ripe enough; The second is to listen to the voice, which can be done with one hand.

Holding a melon, flicking with one hand with a finger, where the sound is rigid and crisp, such as the sound of hitting the wooden board "Dongdong" or "Dede", it is not for it.

Symbol of cooked; The sound is tired and turbid, similar to the sound of "Bubu" playing drums and there is a vibrating sound, which is a familiar standard.

Will; the third is the end weight, the raw melon has more water content, and the melon body is heavier; Ripe melon, because the flesh of the melon is thin and crispy, the tissue is relaxed, and the body.

It is lighter than raw melon. In addition, it should also be noted that if the skin of the melon is soft and black, the knocking sound is too heavy, and the melon body is too heavy.

light, and even shake the melon to smell, it will be a rotten melon, uneatable.

1 Visual inspection. Look at the appearance of the fruit and the bristle tendrils. The surface of the fruit exhibits morphological characteristics such as skin color, reticulation or stripes inherent to the variety.

The ripe melon has clear veins, distinct shades, the base of the fruit stalk is slightly contracted, the navel is concave inward, and the landing part turns yellow; Under normal plant growth, the fruit setting node and the tendrils before and after are withered, and the bristles of the fruit stalk are sparse and fall off, indicating that the fruit is ripe.

2 Hand test. Flick the melon with your fingers or pat or touch the melon with the palm of your hand. The dullness of the melon is a ripe melon.

It produces a crisp and crisp sound for raw melon. When you touch the skin of the melon with your hands, the one that has a slippery feeling is the cooked melon, and the one that is astringent is the raw melon. One hand to hold the melon, one hand on the top of the melon gently patting, such as the palm of the melon slightly trembling, the melon makes a loud sound is a ripe melon, such as the hand of the melon does not feel trembling, the sound of the sound is raw melon.

Squeeze both ends of the fruit with both hands at the same time, put it in your ear and listen, if there is a hissing melon cracking sound, it is a ripe melon. For watermelons of the same variety and volume, raw melons are heavier than ripe melons, and overripe melons are lighter than ripe melons. Experienced people can use the identification method of "hand-held melon", that is, the second-hand melon is slightly lightweight, and the watermelon with good maturity is the watermelon.

3 Marking. After the female watermelon flowers open or pollinate, a 50 cm tall branch or bamboo strip is inserted next to the flower to mark it, and the upper end is painted with different colors. Change the color every 2 days and mark the single melon.

The ripening period is estimated according to the accumulated temperature or number of days required for each variety to mature. By marking the date of fruit set and checking the cutting of melons, the harvest is carried out at the right time according to the marking.

4 Specific gravity method. Fruit specific gravity was determined. The specific gravity of ripe watermelon and water is not the same at room temperature.

The density of watermelon with suitable maturity is that the proportion of raw melon is greater than and less than that of overripe melon. The watermelon can be put into the water for observation, if the watermelon is completely sunk, it indicates that the raw melon, the surface part is very large; Indicates that it is overripe and does not surface much, indicating ripe melon.
