The management of winter melon should be in place

Fertilization: After planting, every 7 days to 10 days, fertilize once a day (10% to 15% of human excrement or 0.5% to 1% of urea), before the thin application, late concentrated application. The key top dressing of winter melon should be carried out from the time when the vines are put on the shelf until the melons are weighed 4 to 5 kg. During this period, in addition to drenching human waste, it can be used for 60-80 kg of mature gluten and 40-50 kg of compound fertilizer. In the whole period, a total of 7-8 times of topdressing is applied. The total fertilization amount is about 150 kg of urea, 40 kg of phosphate fertilizer and 40 kg of potassium fertilizer. The early period accounts for 30% to 40%, and the middle and late period accounts for 60% to 70%. In short, the fertilization of winter melon should master the principle of diligent application, thin application, light weight before weight, reasonable amino acid NPK.

Drainage and irrigation: The amount of water required during the seedling period is small. In the sunny weather, when the soil is dry, it will be drenched in the morning and evening. After the cucurbits are put on the shelves, the amount of water required is gradually increased, and the flowering result period reaches its peak. During this period, it is necessary to pay attention to frequent watering to keep the soil moist. At least once a day, water should be drenched once (not to be drenched in the afternoon), and the puddle should be kept at a water level of 7 to 10 cm. Pay attention to the elimination of stagnant water on rainy days. The water consumption should be reduced 10 to 15 days before harvesting, and the water in the puddle should be drained to improve the storage and transportation performance of winter melon.
