Planting time and method of Hami melon

Planting time: Hami melon is usually planted around April 20th when the underground soil temperature is stable at around 14℃. Planting method: it is not suitable for continuous cropping. Leguminosae, Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae crops cannot be planted around the planting area. Deep tillage should be carried out first.

Then, an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer and decomposed organic fertilizer are applied to each mu, mixed evenly, and planted at a spacing of about 50cm. The height of the arch shed is about 100cm. Timely check the seedlings and replant them, and do a good job of intertillage and weeding at seedling stage.

Planting method of cantaloupe:

Determination of sowing date:

The best sowing date of Hami melon in greenhouse in spring is 65438+1from late October to early February.

Channel sand ridge:

Sand ridge: according to the width of the shed, dig an inclined (preferably flowing water) ditch in the shape of an inverted triangle. The upper bottom is about 30 cm wide and 40 cm deep, 20 cm and 25 cm away from the bottom of the ditch. Spread a layer of iron net on the iron net (the mesh size is subject to no sand leakage). The trench wall on the net is paved with a layer of linoleum and a layer of plastic cloth to separate it from the soil, and then the ground is leveled with sand, with a ridge spacing of 65438+. Change the sand every two years (crops that are afraid of repeated cropping).

Waterway: dig a drainage trough vertically at the end of the lower ridge to communicate with each ridge. Excess water and fertilizer in the ridge can be discharged into this tank for secondary utilization. Cement is used to clean the groove and prevent seepage, which is suitable for running water. A water storage tank is built on the ground side to communicate with the water tank.

A main pipe with a diameter of 1.5 or 2 inches is arranged on the high side of the ridge, which is connected with the water pump and knotted at the end. The branch pipes are connected along a ridge with a diameter of 0.5 or 0.8 inches, and the ends are pierced with two holes with large pinholes. In order to prevent water from splashing on the blades, the branch pipe is covered with a film, pumped and pressurized by a small pump, and watered by half-drop and half-spray.
