Method for pollinating muskmelons in greenhouse by bees

Abstract

A method for pollinating muskmelons in greenhouses by bees comprises the following steps: (1) muskmelon seeds are sown for seedling raising batch by batch, the flowering time of different batches of the muskmelons in a greenhouse differs by more than 4 days; (2) 3-5 days before pollination, the bees in a double-door beehive are fed by an inducer; (3) one day before the pollination, the double-doorbeehive is placed outside the greenhouse, and a convex connecting door of the double-door beehive are communicated with the greenhouse; (4) during the pollination, a nest door of the double-door beehive needs to be closed every day from 7:00 am to 11:00 am, so that the bees can enter the greenhouse from the convex connecting door to pollinate the muskmelons; and (5) after the pollination of the muskmelons in the first batch of greenhouse is completed, the double-door beehive can be moved outside the greenhouse of the next batch, and the convex connecting door is connected with the next batchof greenhouse to pollinate the muskmelons in the greenhouse. The method is simple in operation, not only improves the success rate of the pollination, but also greatly reduces high cost brought by artificial pollination.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of greenhouse cultivation of crops, in particular to a method for pollinating melons in greenhouses by using bees. Background technique [0002] Cantaloupe ( Cucumis melo ), also known as "melon", also known as "white pecking melon". Cucurbitaceae cucumber is an annual vine herb with heart-shaped leaves. Flowers unisexual, yellow, monoecious, or bisexual. The melon is in the shape of ball, egg, oval or oblate, and the skin color is yellow, white, green or mixed with various markings. The flesh is green, white, red or orange-yellow, crisp or soft, fragrant and sweet. It likes high temperature, dryness and sufficient sunshine. It is native to the tropics and is widely cultivated in various parts of my country. There are many varieties. The ones produced in North China and Northwest China have a strong sweet taste, while the ones produced in humid areas have a weaker watery taste. Melon stems and branches...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, due to the influence of the relatively closed high-temperature, high-humidity and other production environments in greenhouses, the activities of pollinators such as insects are less, so that the normal pollination and fruit setting of muskmelons in greenhouses are affected to varying degrees. In production, artificial assisted pollination or hormones are often used to promote fruit setting. Not only is it labor-intensive, labor-intensive, and low-efficiency, but also the hormones remaining in fruit setting affect the quality of agricultural products
