1、 Curing method

1. Temperature: cantaloupe needs relatively high temperature during its growth. The skin of the fruit grown under high temperature environment will be very thin and taste better. Generally, the temperature suitable for its growth is between 25 and 35 degrees. If the ambient temperature is higher than 40 degrees, it will face the risk of wilting. If it is lower than 13 degrees, it will also grow and stagnate

2. Watering: we should grasp the method of watering cantaloupe. We don't need too much during the growth of seedlings. We can apply more fertilizer during flowering and vine spreading, which can make the plant grow more vigorous and reduce it during fruit maturity, otherwise the sweetness of the fruit will be reduced

3. Light: cantaloupe has the highest demand for light. During the general breeding period, it needs to receive 12 hours of light every day. Strong light will make cantaloupe accumulate sugar and the fruit will be sweeter. If the light is not enough, the fruit will be dull and tasteless. Therefore, choose a sunny place before planting

4. Fertilization: muskmelon cannot be fertilized with more nitrogen fertilizer, which will reduce the sweetness and produce some harmful substances if overused. The application of potassium fertilizer can greatly increase the fruit yield during ripening

2、 Breeding skills

1. Reproduction: sowing is its main mode of reproduction. Sowing is divided into spring sowing and autumn sowing, which can be sown from August to October or from February to March. But we should pay attention to the distance between seeds. If it is too dense, we need to pull out part of the seeds when the plants grow out

2. Pruning: cantaloupe is highly contagious. Cut off its head from time to time during growth. When the vine stem of the plant grows to a certain length, remove its head, so as to ensure normal fruit making. If not pruned in time, the final size of cantaloupe will be affected

3、 Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: powdery mildew often occurs, especially in rainy seasons. It is recommended to use wettable powder as soon as possible to control it

2. Insect pests: Noctuidae appears most frequently and will bite the newly opened flowers, affecting the yield. It can be sprayed with trichlorfon solution for control

4、 Other issues

1. Toxicity: there is no poison. Cantaloupe has high nutritional value, delicious, sweet and delicious. It is highly recommended to grow

2. Whether it can be raised at home: No, cantaloupe is generally planted in a large area, and the conditions at home cannot meet its normal growth < a > < / a >
