1、 Basin soil preparation

To ensure the normal growth of melon seeds, preparing soil suitable for germination is the first step, that is, nutrient soil. Mix the rotten animal manure with furnace ash in a ratio of about 2:3. After mixing, mix evenly, and then remove large particles with a sieve. And use carbendazim to disinfect the nutrient soil to avoid bacterial infection of seeds

2、 Germination treatment

In order to ensure the germination rate of melon seeds, germination accelerating treatment is needed. Expose the seeds to the sun for 1-2 days, and then soak them in hot water at 50 ℃ for 15-20 minutes, during which they need to be stirred continuously. After taking out, disinfect with diluted potassium permanganate solution to avoid bacterial residue. After disinfection, wash the medicine on the seed, wrap it in a wet cloth and put it under the environment of 28-30 ℃ to promote germination

3、 Sowing

When the seeds sprout, they can be sown. Water the basin soil before sowing to ensure the wetting of the substrate. Put the seeds on the surface of the basin soil and cover it with a layer of soil after 1.5cm. And cover it with plastic film to keep it warm and moist. Seedlings can grow in about 5 days, and then the mulch should be lifted to let the seedlings receive certain light

4、 Seedling maintenance

In the early stage of seedling growth, temperature control is particularly important. The temperature is kept between 20-25 ℃ during the day and about 8-10 ℃ at night. In order to prevent it from being frozen at night, it can be covered with plastic film and opened during the day. You can also make the temperature higher, which can accelerate the emergence of seedlings, but it is not suitable to water at this time
