As the name suggests, snake melon is a kind of melon vegetable that looks like a snake body. Most of my friends may not have eaten it, but have never seen it. Snake melon is thick and has few fibers. It is generally used as one of the main varieties to regulate the supply of vegetables in the summer and autumn. Let's learn about the key points of planting technology of snakes and melons.
1. Site preparation
Snake melon does not require high soil. Many crops can be planted with snakes and melons. Of course, for the high yield of snakes and melons, we can try to choose fertile soil and plant the snake melon in the convenient irrigation and drainage. Before planting, it is necessary to carry out fine soil preparation, apply 5,000 kg of decomposed organic fertilizer, and 30 kg to 50 kg of ternary compound fertilizer, and then plough up and plow, and plant sorghum. When the snake melon seedlings grow three true leaves and one heart, they can be planted. One plant is planted at each hole. The row spacing is generally between sixty centimeters and eighty centimeters, and one thousand to one hundred and two hundred plants are planted per 667m2. The suitable temperature for the growth of snake melon is between 18 and 30 degrees. When planting, everyone should pay attention to the measures such as keeping warm and protecting the seedling according to the local climate.
2. Fertilizer management
The growth rate of snake melon is very fast, so the demand for water and fertilizer is extremely high. Generally, after planting, it can be topdressed for the first time. Once every one or two picks, it is necessary to apply a fertilizer. Topdressing is generally carried out by using dilute faecal water, ternary compound fertilizer, decomposed cake fertilizer, etc., and then spraying 0.4%--0.5% potassium dihydrogen phosphate with foliar surface. As mentioned earlier, the demand for water and fertilizer for snakes and melons is extremely high. Therefore, in the hot season, the premature senescence of plants should be strictly prevented, and watering should be done once a week to prevent soil drought.
3. Racking
The snake vine has a well-developed vine, strong growth, strong branching ability, and long melon strips. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a fence or a scaffold. When the vine grows more than 30cm, it is necessary to tie the vines and introduce the vines in time. Snake melon has strong ability to sit fruit continuously, and its main vine side is covered with melon, but generally the main vine is melon, the melon is large, the deformed melon is less vine on the side, the melon is small, the deformed melon is more, so it can be based on the cultivation method and Appropriate trimming of side vines in the morning and evening. The sooner the market is listed, the finer the cultivation mode is, the more thoroughly the side vines are trimmed. Generally, each plant can leave 2 to 3 side vines. The solar greenhouse can cut all the side vines, leaving only the main vines. The base of the snake melon plant has a male inflorescence, and the upper female flower nodes also have male inflorescences. These male inflorescences consume a large amount of nutrients, so it is necessary to remove the male inflorescences at the base and female flower nodes, remove some tendrils, and concentrate nutrient supply. Female flowers, promote the knot.
4. Pest control
The pests and diseases of snakes and melons occur less, and the insect pests are mainly to prevent aphids. Downy mildew can be controlled by metalaxyl and chlorothalonil; powdery mildew can be controlled by chlorothalonil, triadimefon, and mancozeb with high-efficiency carbendazim, methyl thiophanate, mancozeb and other pesticides.
5. Harvest at the right time
The harvesting standard of melon strips is moderate and tender, so that it does not affect the quality, but also helps to increase the yield. Snake melon has the characteristics of continuous knotting, and timely picking can make the post-knotted melon get sufficient nutrients, well developed and less deformed. Generally, when the corolla is withered and the melon strip is no longer elongated, it can be picked.
The above is the key point of planting snakes, interested farmers can try to plant, if you want to learn more about the cultivation of snakes, please continue to pay attention to Hui Nong!
