Cultivation techniques of Xingtian 18

Melon has low requirements on soil, and sandy loam with deep soil layer, good air permeability and difficult water accumulation is the most suitable. Melon has premature senescence in the late growth stage, and sandy soil is suitable for early cultivation.

However, due to the slow recovery of soil temperature in early spring, cohesive soil is suitable for late-maturing cultivation. The suitable soil for melon is pH5.5-8.0, and the soil that is too acidic and alkaline needs to be improved before melon cultivation.

illuminate

Melon likes light, and needs 10- 12 hours of light every day to maintain normal growth and development. Therefore, melon planting sites should be far away from villages and Woods to avoid shading. Try to use plastic film and glass with high transparency and no dripping when cultivating in protected areas.

temperature

Melon likes warm and hot, and has strong cold tolerance. The germination temperature of seeds should be 15-37℃, and sowing in the open field in early spring should be stable above 15℃ to avoid seed rot. The suitable temperature for plant growth is 25-30℃, and it can grow at 14-45℃. The optimum temperature for flowering is 25℃, and the optimum temperature for fruit ripening is 30℃. The temperature difference between day and night has a great influence on the quality of melon. The large temperature difference between day and night is beneficial to the accumulation of sugar and the improvement of fruit quality.
