Muskmelon is widely grown, what are the best soil conditions for growing?

The root system of melon plants has a strong absorption capacity and has certain requirements for the soil. When planting, you should choose a deep soft sand soil rich in humus. The pH value of the soil should also be controlled, and the slight alkalinity can improve the sugar content and quality of the fruit.

Soil quality has a lot to do with the nutrient uptake of melons. Throughout the growth period of melons, the need for potassium is greater than the sum of nitrogen and phosphorus. Therefore, the nutrient degree of the soil is very important, so it is necessary to ensure sufficient soil fertility and do a good job of topdressing in planting.

Melon is a typical fruit with strong heat tolerance. Different varieties have different requirements for accumulated temperature, but the requirements for temperature are similar.

During the whole growth period, the temperature should be controlled at about 30, and the germination temperature should not be lower than 15. Otherwise, it will be difficult for melon seeds to germinate, or even fail to germinate. The seedling stage of melon should be kept at about 22, and frost damage will occur when it is lower than 8.

The temperature requirements of melons will change at different growth stages, and the right temperature is the key to ensure the healthy growth of melons. The juice of melons is very rich and requires a lot of water during growth. The water requirement of melons varies with the stage of growth.

For example, at the seedling stage of melon, the water requirement is not large, but it will gradually increase during important growth periods such as flowering and fruiting.

The plot is not suitable for growing melons, and the yield after planting does not meet the ideal requirements. Melon plants grow normally even when the soil pH is 7 8. Planting melons on slightly saline-alkali land will increase the sucrose content of melon fruits and improve their quality.

Melon has a well-developed root system, strong absorption capacity, and low requirements for soil conditions. It can be planted on sandy loam and clay soils, but sandy loam soils with loose, deep soils, fertile soils, good ventilation, and not easy to accumulate water are best.

Sandy loam soils with loose, deep soils, fertile soils, good ventilation, and not easy to accumulate water are best. Melon does not have strict requirements for soil pH, and the soil is suitable for growth, and it grows best at pH6. The fruit expansion period is the sensitive period for melons to water requirements.

The lack of water in the early stage of fruit expansion will affect fruit expansion, resulting in lower yield and abnormal cracking of melons and fruits.

The most suitable soil for the growth and development of muskmelon is loam or sandy loam with deep soil layer, strong drainage, rich organic matter, fertile soil and good aeration.

The soil is deep, the soil is very nutritious, the soil aeration must be very good, and then the humidity is also suitable, such soil is very suitable for growing melons.

The soil is very fertile, very loose and very breathable. The pH of the soil is around the same level, and there should be enough humidity.

For larger melon varieties, plant a little more sparsely, plant spacing 50 to 70 cm, and keep the row spacing at 100 to 120 cm. Also, it depends on the actual situation of the land, if the land is fertile, it should be appropriately denser. If the land is barren, it should be reasonably sparse.

At the same time, the row spacing of different varieties of melon is different, the density of planting in the southern region is small, the planting density in the northern region is large, and the cantaloupe in Xinjiang should be planted to ensure that the plant spacing is about 50 cm, and the row spacing is about 200 cm.

When planting melons, because the seeds have a certain dormancy, the seeds should be placed in the sun to dry for 1 2 days before sowing, and then the seeds should be soaked in water at a temperature of 50 for 60 minutes, and stirred frequently, after washing off the mucous membrane above, take it out and put it in the culture soil, the density of the south is smaller, the density of the north is larger, the density of the open field creeping cultivation method is smaller, the density of the protective frame method is larger, the density of the late-maturing thick skin is smaller, the density of the early-maturing thin skin is larger, and the density of the vigorous multi-vine growth is smaller. Weak growth is denser for single man.

PressLarge rows 80 cm, small rows 60 cmDitch watering, drying, and finishingWidth 30 cm；Ridges with a height of 15 cm are covered with film to raise ground temperature. After 5 days of mulching, seedlings with developed and robust root systems can be selected for planting. GeneralPlant spacing is 35 cmLeft and right, if you water too much during the ripening period of watered seedlings, the fruit will expand rapidly, and the fruit will dilute some of the accumulated sugar, resulting in insufficient sweetness of the melon.

Therefore, proper watering is very important, especially in the days leading up to the harvest.

Water and fertilizer management of muskmelon. During the growth period of muskmelon, it is necessary to pay attention to the rainy weather, strengthen field drainage, prevent water damage and flooding, and prevent diseases. When the moisture is poor when there is no rain for a long time, it is necessary to water immediately.

During the swelling period of young melons, adequate water and nutrients are needed. Variety selection, no matter how sweet and delicious melons you hear, see, and eat, you may not be able to grow melons with the same taste.

The density of melons depends on the variety. Generally, the row spacing of dwarf type is: row spacing meters, plant spacing is meters, 1600-2200 ponds per mu are planted, and 4000-4500 plants are appropriate; The row spacing of the creeping type is meters, and the plant spacing is meters, and it is appropriate to plant 700-800 ponds and 1400-1600 plants per mu.

The planting density of melons in the open air is best 2 meters between rows and meters, and 650 seedlings per acre.

Generally, it is 1500 to 1800 plants per mu. This planting density is very suitable and very conducive to the growth of melons.

1. The best melon planting is spring sowing, and it is more appropriate to sow in spring from February to March, and the germination rate is higher after sowing, which is conducive to growth and survival.

2. There are many varieties of melon, so it is necessary to determine the varieties you want to plant in advance and prepare the seeds. You can collect the seeds yourself, or you can go to the seed store to buy them, and be careful not to leave the seeds for too long.

3. In order to improve the germination rate of melon, melon seeds should be processed in advance. Prepare the diluted carbendazim solution, soak the melon seeds in the sterilization solution for a period of time, take them out and dry the seeds. Before sowing, it is necessary to dress the seeds to avoid being affected by pests and diseases.

4. Determine the planting location, tidy up the soil, evenly sow the melon seeds into the soil, the planting density should be appropriate, keep a certain distance between the seeds, and cover the seed surface with a thin layer of soil after sowing. After sowing, water thoroughly into the soil, keep the water in the soil, and then cover it with mulch, 5. After the melon seedlings grow, you can water it permeably, apply a thin compound fertilizer once a week, control the temperature, keep the temperature at about 10-25 degrees, and the surrounding environment is suitable to promote healthy growth. Do a good job in the prevention and control of pests and diseases at the seedling stage, and spray pesticides in advance to prevent them.

Melons should be planted in fertile land, and sufficient nutrients and water should be applied to ensure that melons can grow normally.

Some nutritious fertilizers should be used when planting, and they should be watered frequently, weeding should be taken care of, and pests and diseases should be taken care of, so that it is fine.

For some plots with poor soil fertility and insufficient base fertilizer, hidden growers should apply vine fertilizer. At this time, growers can apply cake fertilizer, plant ash, high-quality organic fertilizer, compound fertilizer, etc. When topdressing compound stove letter or fertilizer, generally 10-15 kg per mu can be topdressed.

The planting method of the melon is to first dig a ditch in the ground, and then sprinkle the dust skin of the melon seeds in the ditch with space, and then bury the ditch with soil, and then apply some fertilizer, so that the melon will be planted well.

Fertilizer and water management, control greenhouse humidity and keep dry throughout the growth period, when the fruit and eggs are large, timely application of puffed melon fertilizer, compound fertilizer kg, urea 3 5kg 667m2, fruiting period and puffing period phased application, the main fertilization and watering, compound fertilizer can choose instant imported ternary compound fertilizer, one week before harvest shall not be watered.

Base fertilizer sprinkling: planting melon, mainly sprinkled with rotted farm fertilizer, but also with the application of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizer, the general application ratio is 2500-3000kg mu of rotten farm fertilizer, 5-6kg mu of urea, 10-15kg mu of potassium sulfate, 10-15kh mu of diammonium, or 25-30kg mu of potato compound fertilizer.

When the melon vine grows to 2 meters, remove the main vine growth point to grow 3-4 branches. In order to create a good light transmission and ventilation conditions for the pumpkin, it is necessary to build a scaffolding, and the specific method is: when the branch vine grows to 2 meters, the vine is led to the scaffolding, and the vine is not broken.

The pumpkin after the scaffolding will reduce pests and diseases, so that the melon sitting rate will be greatly improved.
