What is Gobi watermelon? Why is it harmful to the soil?

Gobi watermelon is also known as Zhongwei selenium sand melon. After continuous planting of selenium sand melon, the compacted sand soil will age, and accompanied by the decline of the comprehensive bearing capacity of the soil, that is, the continuous planting of selenium sand melon will have a serious impact on the original compacted sand soil, so it will be prohibited. The arid region of central Ningxia is extremely scarce in water resources, the urban economy is relatively backward, and some surrounding villages are barren.

The annual sunshine hours here are long, the average annual precipitation is small, the evaporation is large, and the ecological environment is very fragile.

One can imagine how poor the living conditions of the people in these areas are. Amazingly, the locals found that this high temperature, little rain, large temperature difference between day and night, more sunshine, and high altitude are the best conditions for the growth of selenium sand melons. Selenium sand melons are tenacious, and watermelons grow in the crevices of stones.

The sandy land where selenium sand melons are grown is known as the squeezed sandy land, which generates a considerable income for local farmers and is regarded as a treasure land of the desert.

After 5 years of planting selenium sand melon, the sand and gravel content increased, the soil water content, available phosphorus, available potassium and total salt content decreased to varying degrees, and the organic matter and total nitrogen content decreased significantly. Soil microbial community and soil moisture showed a decreasing trend, and urease activity, alkali hydrolyzable nitrogen and organic carbon content also showed a decreasing trend. The sugar content of selenium sand melon is particularly high, of which the glucose content can reach and the sucrose content can reach more than 4%.

After these sugars enter the human body, they can be quickly converted into energy, avoiding the occurrence of fatigue symptoms in the human body, and have a significant effect on enhancing physical fitness and replenishing energy.

Trace elements such as calcium, zinc, potassium and selenium are particularly high. Among them, the selenium content is the highest. It is a natural substance that promotes longevity and breaks down free radicals in the body.

People usually eat more selenium gourd, which plays an important role in delaying aging and prolonging life. It has a good relieving effect on human edema and urination, and then when eating selenium gourd in summer, it can also prevent heat stroke and human dehydration, because the water in this fruit can be quickly absorbed by various organs of the human body and play a good role in hydration.

This watermelon mainly needs a lot of nutrients and water to the soil will be harmful, watermelon will form a lot of bacteria in the process of growth, and will also form some pests and diseases, in this case it will cause a lot of bad conditions.

Gobi watermelon refers to the watermelon grown in the Gobi, which will bring great harm to the soil and degrade the soil.

It refers to the watermelon planted on the Gobi, using the special soil of the Gobi to plant, the watermelon is very fieldy, and the taste is very good, because this watermelon has a special technology, some people will not plant it on the Gobi casually, and then it affects the soil and brings harm.
