[0043] According to the demand and planting environment, the cultivation goals are determined, such as pursuing high sweetness, high yield, strong disease resistance, storage and transportation resistance, etc., so as to select parent materials in a targeted manner. Select excellent parents: Select melon varieties with target traits as parents, requiring the parents to have high purity, stable traits, and strong compatibility.
[0044] On the female plant, select well-developed female flowers that are about to bloom, which usually have full ovaries and thick pedicels. At the same time, on the male plant, select male flowers that are blooming on the same day and have strong pollen vitality.
[0045] S102. 1-2 days before the female flowers open, carefully remove the stamens of the female flowers with tweezers or scissors, making sure to remove them completely to prevent self-pollination. When removing the stamens, be careful to avoid damaging the ovary and style of the female flowers.
[0046] S103. On the day when the male flower of the male parent blooms, use a brush or cotton swab to gently dip the male flower pollen and collect the pollen in a clean petri dish or vial between 9 and 11 a.m. The collected pollen should be kept dry and clean to avoid moisture or contamination.
[0047] S104, evenly apply the collected pollen from the male parent to the stigma of the female parent's female flower, dip a brush or pollinator in the pollen, and gently touch the stigma to ensure that the pollen is fully attached to the stigma. To increase the success rate of pollination, pollination can be performed once in the morning and afternoon of the day after the female flower opens.
[0048] S105. After pollination is completed, the pollinated female flowers are marked with colored strings or labels, indicating the hybrid combination and pollination date information. At the same time, in order to prevent contamination by other pollens, the pollinated female flowers can be bagged and the bags can be removed after the ovary begins to swell.

During the germination period, the seeds should be turned over once every 6 hours, and the seeds can be sown when 70% to 80% of them are white; S304, sowing: put the prepared substrate into the plug tray, stack the plug tray vertically, put an empty tray on top, and put a wooden board of similar size on the empty tray; sow the rootstock first, and when the two cotyledons of the rootstock are flattened, sow the melon. When sowing, put the seeds into the holes, 1 seed per hole, and cover the seeds with 1cm of substrate. After the entire plug tray is sown, spray the plug tray with 750 times diluted 72.2% cymoxanil hydrochloride solution and cover it with a film; S305. Seedbed management: When the seed buds are above the soil, remove the film and spray water in time to keep the moisture content of the substrate at 80% to 85%; spray 750 times diluted 72.2% cymoxanil hydrochloride solution before the seedlings emerge and before grafting to prevent diseases; S306. Grafting: Grafting is done by inserting method. When the two cotyledons of the melon seedling are flat and the rootstock has one leaf and one heart, grafting is done. When grafting, the part above the cotyledons of the rootstock is cut off with a blade. At the base of the cotyledons, a bamboo stick is inserted obliquely downward into the hypocotyl on the other side until a slight crack is made in the epidermis of the rootstock. The depth of the insertion is 1 cm. Then the hypocotyl of the melon seedling is cut into a 1 cm long oblique surface. Pull out the bamboo stick, align the cut surface of the melon seedling with the large oblique insertion surface of the rootstock, and quickly insert it into the hole of the rootstock. After the whole tray is grafted, cover it with film.
5. The method for breeding high-yield and high-quality melon varieties according to claim 4, characterized in that: The step S4 specifically includes: S401. Land preparation and fertilization: Before planting, deep plow the greenhouse to 30-35 cm, and apply decomposed farmyard manure, formula fertilizer, superphosphate, potassium sulfate, magnesium, boron, zinc and iron fertilizer, and cake fertilizer per mu; S402, making ridges: dig straw reactor trenches with a width of 40 cm and a depth of 25-30 cm every 90 cm, put straw into the trenches, leave 10-15 cm space at the north and south ends of the trenches for ventilation, evenly spread the fungus on the straw, pat the straw with a shovel after spreading, let the fungus fall on the straw below, and then fill the trenches with soil to make the soil layer on the straw 25 cm thick, and then make a large ridge with the straw reactor trench as the midpoint, the large ridge bottom width is 90 cm, the ridge surface width is 70 cm, the ridge height is 20 cm, and the distance between the two large ridges is 40 cm; S403, disinfection: closed greenhouse, every 100m 3 Use 100g sulfur powder and 350g sawdust to sterilize the greenhouse space. Mix the sulfur powder and sawdust, evenly pile them into several small piles at set distances in the greenhouse, ignite and fumigate for 24 hours, ventilate and spray the soil surface, walls and frames of the greenhouse with 100 times diluted 40% formalin for disinfection, and plant after 2 days of fumigation and spray disinfection.
6. The method for breeding high-yield and high-quality melon varieties according to claim 5, characterized in that: The step S5 specifically includes: S501. A large ridge and double-row cultivation method is adopted, with 2 rows planted on the ridge, a large row spacing of 90 cm, a small row spacing of 40 cm, and a plant spacing of 25 cm; first, a micro-irrigation pipe is laid on the ridge according to the small row spacing, and a ground film is covered, and then, on the ridge surface, the seedlings are planted with a seedling planter according to the plant and row spacing, and the planting depth is based on the surface of the substrate of the seedlings being flush with the ground surface. The seedlings planted in the 2 rows should be staggered, and then the seedling holes are sealed; S502, temperature and light management: the daytime temperature should be maintained at 30±2℃, and the nighttime temperature should be maintained at above 18℃; when the melon seedlings begin to grow, the daytime temperature should be maintained at 28±2℃, and the nighttime temperature should be maintained at above 15℃; during the flowering period, the daytime temperature should be maintained at 25±2℃, and the nighttime temperature should be maintained at above 15℃; during the fruit-bearing period, the daytime temperature should be maintained at 28-30℃, and the nighttime temperature should be maintained at above 15℃; during the ripening period, the daytime temperature should be maintained at 30±2℃, and the nighttime temperature should be maintained at 12-15℃; S503. Water and fertilizer management: After transplanting, water in small amounts to promote growth of the seedlings. Water once more after the seedlings have grown. Increase the amount of water during the flowering and fruiting period to keep the soil moisture content at 60%-70%. When the melon grows to 4-5 cm in diameter, water to promote growth. Increase the amount of water during the melon expansion period to keep the soil moisture content at 80%-85%. Reduce the water requirement during the maturity period to keep the soil moisture content at 55%. Do not water 7 days before harvest.
