Cultivation method for intercropping watermelons in young economic orchard in hilly area

Abstract

The invention discloses a cultivation method for intercropping watermelons in a young economic orchard in a hilly area. The method comprises the following steps of (1) land selection and preparation: selecting a young economic orchard with a growing period of less than two years and the upper mellow soil thickness of no less than 35cm; (2) strong seedling cultivation: disinfecting watermelon seeds, soaking seeds, and sowing seeds into a 72-hole plate; (3) watermelon seedling transplanting: when the watermelon seedlings grow to be with four to five main leaves, transplanting the seedlings with soil into small high ridges between two fruit tree lines in the young economic orchard; (4.1) fertilizer spraying: spraying fertilizers three to five days after transplanting; (4.2) twig and vine pruning; and (4.3) pesticide spraying to control pests and diseases. Different height demands of high fruit trees in the young economic orchard and prostrate watermelons are combined delicately, the temperature, light, water, gas and fertilizer resources in land space are fully and reasonably utilized, and the land utilization rate is increased. The yield of watermelons intercropped in the economic orchard can reach 1500-2000kg/667m<2>, and the income of farmers can be effectively increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for cultivating melons and fruits, in particular to a method for interplanting watermelons in young forests with a growth period of less than two years in hilly areas, and belongs to the technical field of melons and fruits cultivation. Background technique [0002] In the hilly areas with a good production base for melons and fruits, the development of cultivation techniques for various fruits such as nurseries, grapes, peaches, and figs has been flourishing in recent years, but the simplification of land use has exacerbated the imbalance of soil nutrients and soil compaction. Weakened capacity is a limiting factor to increase agricultural production. At the same time, due to the slow effect of cultivated economic forests and long cost recovery period, the rich management cost is high, the land utilization rate is low, and the economic benefit is poor. The available land space is large and the exposed time is long. ...

[0002] In the hilly areas with a good production base for melons and fruits, the development of cultivation techniques for various fruits such as nurseries, grapes, peaches, and figs has been flourishing in recent years, but the simplification of land use has exacerbated the imbalance of soil nutrients and soil compaction. Weakened capacity as a constraint to increasing agricultural production

At the same time, due to the slow effect of cultivated economic forests and long cost recovery period, the rich management cost is high, the land utilization rate is low, the economic benefit is poor, the available land space is large, and the exposed time is long

It not only wastes a lot of heat and light resources and land resources, but also causes soil compaction and overgrown weeds to affect the environment, and is not conducive to drought resistance
