Xinjiang rain solar terms

Watermelon is a good summer product. Among the green peels, the red pulp makes people drool. Not only is the juice sweet, but it is also a fruit for girls to lose weight. If it is frozen in the refrigerator when eating, the sweetness will be more refreshing. I remember eating watermelon in summer when I was a child. Adults always put watermelon in a basket, put it in an old well in the village for half an hour, and then cut it open to eat. It was absolutely sweet and cold.

Watermelon is an annual vine, which originated in Africa. It was originally a wild plant of Cucurbitaceae. After several generations of cultivation, it has become today's edible watermelon. According to the maturity, it can be divided into early, middle and late maturity types, and the maturity days range from 90 days to 120 days, especially in Xinjiang and Lanzhou. Watermelon grows in a warm and dry environment, which is drought-resistant and moisture-resistant.

One is to plant watermelons on both sides of Grain Rain.

Watermelon was planted around the solar term in Grain Rain at the end of April. Grain Rain is one of the 24 solar terms. The temperature at this time is about 20-22℃. After that, the temperature rose rapidly and the rainfall increased. Therefore, the temperature and humidity around Grain Rain are suitable for watermelon seeds to germinate and seedlings can emerge quickly. The optimum temperature for watermelon growth is 25-30℃, and the optimum temperature for root growth is about 30℃. Watermelons are planted around Grain Rain.

Second, sand control in the field and planting watermelons.

Choose sandy loam to grow watermelon. Watermelon is a kind of creeping plant. Its vines are long, its leaves are big, and its watermelon is big and round. All nutrients needed for growth are mainly transported by roots, so it is very important to maintain the respiratory permeability of roots. In addition, watermelon is drought-resistant and waterlogging-resistant. Anyone who has planted watermelons knows that the roots of watermelons are soaked in water for a long time, and this watermelon seedling basically dies because the roots are submerged by water.

Watermelon is more than half a meter wide, and the two melons are half a foot apart.

When planting watermelons, the row spacing should be kept at about 160 cm, and the spacing between plants should be kept at about 50 cm, because watermelon seedlings will get longer and longer. If the plant spacing is too close, watermelon seedlings will cross, which will affect ventilation and light transmission and reduce photosynthesis. In addition, there are many rainy days in summer, and watermelon seedlings cross the ground, which leads to the closure of the ground and the increase of pests.

Fourth, if you want watermelon to lose its teeth, soybean-based fertilizer will be the master.

In order to grow watermelon with high sweetness, it is more suitable to use soybean as base fertilizer. Soybean is a rich crop, rich in amino acids and mineral trace elements, which can improve the taste and sweetness of watermelon. Of course, soybeans can't be directly applied, otherwise there will be some dead seedlings and rotten trees. After decomposition, it needs to be applied as base fertilizer in the hole, and the effect is very good.

In a word, watermelon is a good summer product, suitable for all ages, with delicious juice, which is very common in rural areas. As long as you think of the above four jingles when planting, watermelon will be round and sweet!
