Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of agricultural planting, and in particular to a planting method capable of improving the quality and taste of melons and increasing the benefits. Background Art

[0002] The current planting mode of melon series varieties: two rows are arranged in parallel as a sequence, the distance between the two rows is 45cm, the distance between trees is 45cm-50cm, and the two rows are planted at the same time, with 1800-2000 trees per mu. The sequence spacing is 80cm-90cm, and production personnel walk through it for daily management and watering. When the melon vines grow to a height of 1600cm-1800cm after about 40-45 days, the inner melon vine leaves between the two rows block the sunlight from each other, and strong light can only be applied for 3 hours a day from 10:30 to 13:30 at noon. Normal strong light exposure is 6 hours a day from 9:00 to 15:00. In this way, the strong light exposure time is reduced by more than 3 hours a day during the more than 50-day melon vine growth period, which seriously affects the light and function of the melon vine growth period.

[0003] The nutrients of fruits and vegetables are mainly converted from leaves. The more leaves receive sunlight, the more nutrients are converted and transported to fruits and vegetables. The entire growth period of melon vines is about 90 days, and there are more than 50 days and 150 hours of strong light. The significant reduction in strong light exposure time seriously affects the photosynthesis of melon vines, delays the maturity of fruits and vegetables, and affects the appearance, quality and taste of melons.

[0004] Therefore, we made improvements and proposed a planting method that can improve the quality, taste and increase benefits of melons. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to address the problem that the substantial reduction in the strong light illumination time during the current traditional planting seriously affects the light and humidity effect of the melon vines, delays the maturity period of the melons and fruits, and affects the formation of the melon appearance, melon quality and taste.

[0012] S4. Staged harvest management: When the second row of melon vines grows to a height of 1600cm-1800cm, the first row of melons planted earlier has entered the maturity period. At this time, the first row is harvested and the melon vines are removed to ensure that the second row of melon vines receive light without obstruction during the growth period;

[0013] S5. Water management: Control the water supply during the melon ripening period and avoid overwatering. Stop watering about 10 days before the melon matures. The soil moisture during the ripening period should be maintained at 55%-65% of the maximum water holding capacity in the field.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, in step S1, 2000-3000 kg of decomposed farmyard manure is applied per mu.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the use of nitrogen fertilizer is reduced during the fruit expansion and ripening stages.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the spacing between two parallel rows of plants is 80cm-90cm, the plants in the row are arranged in a straight line, and operation channels are reserved between the sequences for daily management and irrigation.

[0023] B2. Microbial preparations: Use insecticidal fungi, bacterial biopesticides, and Bacillus thuringiensis to control pests;

[0024] B3. Botanical pesticides: pesticides made from plant extracts and natural compounds, including but not limited to matrine and azadirachtin.

[0025] As the preferred technical solution of this application, chemical control in pest control includes the following steps:

[0026] C1. Scientific application of pesticides: determine the time and method of application of pesticides according to the living habits and occurrence patterns of pests;

[0027] C2. Establish a monitoring system to keep abreast of pest occurrence trends.

[0028] As the preferred technical solution of this application, agricultural control in pest control includes the following steps:

[0029] D1. Rational fertilization: Apply organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer to enhance the disease resistance of plants;

[0030] D2. Watering at the right time: maintain soil moisture, avoid excessive or insufficient water, and reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests;

[0031] D3. Farm hygiene: Remove weeds and diseased plants in the field in a timely manner to reduce the spread of diseases and pests.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] In the scheme of this application:

[0034] 1. In order to solve the problem in the prior art that the strong light illumination time is greatly reduced during traditional planting, which seriously affects the light and effect of melon vines, delays the maturity of melons and fruits, and affects the formation of melon appearance, melon quality and taste, the present application promotes a staggered single-row dense planting mode to extend the strong light illumination time, increase the light and effect of melon vines, and improve the quality and yield of melons and fruits. The strong light illumination of two rows of melon vines does not affect each other, which extends the strong light illumination time during the growth period of melons, enhances the light and effect of melon vines, improves the quality, taste and yield of melons, and extends the supply period of a crop of melons;

[0035] 2. The present application prolongs the light to promote sugar conversion and melon development, thereby increasing the soluble solids content of melons, significantly increasing the firmness of the pulp and flavor substances, forming a more ideal net-shaped appearance and crispy and sweet taste. Through dense planting and staggered management, the yield per unit area is increased. At the same time, due to the staggered maturity period, the first crop is harvested 15 days earlier and the second crop is harvested 15 days later, which extends the supply period and increases the economic benefits.
