Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural cultivation, and specifically discloses a high-yield cultivation method for thick-skinned melons in sandy soil in South China. Background Art

[0002] In South China, the sandy soil environment is unique, with high temperature, high humidity and low soil fertility, which brings many challenges to the cultivation of thick-skinned melons. The traditional cultivation methods for thick-skinned melons are difficult to adapt to the special climate and soil conditions of sandy soil in South China, resulting in unsatisfactory yield and quality.

[0003] On the one hand, in South China, it is hot and rainy in summer, and thick-skinned melons are easily invaded by various diseases and pests. Common varieties have insufficient heat resistance, humidity resistance and resistance, making it difficult to ensure the healthy growth of plants. On the other hand, sandy soil has poor water and fertilizer retention capacity. Ordinary irrigation and fertilization methods cannot meet the growth needs of melons, and it is easy to cause fertilizer waste and environmental pollution. At the same time, in key links such as seedling raising, transplanting and field management, there are lack of targeted technical measures, resulting in poor growth and development of melons and poor fruit quality. However, there are few soil nematodes, which is of great significance for the cultivation of off-season thick-skinned melons.

[0004] Therefore, a high-yield cultivation method for thick-skinned melons in sandy soil in South China is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-yield cultivation method for thick-skinned melons in sandy soil in South China.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A high-yield cultivation method for thick-skinned melons in sandy soil in South China, comprising the following steps: (1) Preparation before cultivation: S1. Variety selection: Select thick-skinned melon varieties with heat resistance, humidity resistance, good resistance and wide adaptability; S2. Greenhouse planning: Adopt a steel pipe multi-span greenhouse with a width of 3.5 m, covered with light blue plastic film. Insect-proof nets are set around and on the top of each multi-span greenhouse, and the spacing between greenhouses is 0.65 m; S3. Planting season: Start planting from July to September, and three crops of melons can be planted from July to October, October to January, and January to April; S4. Irrigation and drainage: Adopt the integrated water and fertilizer irrigation method; S5. Soil preparation and fertilization: Weeding work is carried out before sowing, generally using glufosinate or glyphosate; before planting, pest control work in the greenhouse should be carried out; Spread 6-8 bags of bio-organic fertilizer or one ton of sheep manure and 50 kilograms of compound fertilizer as base fertilizer; first plow the land, then dig trenches and spread fertilizer, and finally plow the land and build ridges to loosen the soil and mix the fertilizer evenly; finally plow the land and build ridges with a ridge width of 65-70cm and a ridge distance of 1m; after building ridges, install drip irrigation belts and test water; cover the ground with film, and choose silver-black film; (2) Seedling cultivation: S1. Sowing: Select thick-skinned melon varieties that are heat-resistant, moisture-resistant, and have good resistance and wide adaptability. Use commercial seedling soil as the seedling medium and use a 60-hole seedling tray. Select seeds with full grains and no shriveled, residual, or bad grains for sowing; S2. Management during the seedling raising period: Keep the soil moist from before emergence to when the cotyledons slightly expand; after the cotyledons slightly expand, the soil should be kept mainly dry and wet; Water in the morning and at noon on sunny days; Remove the covering after the seeds begin to break through the soil, and manually remove the seeds whose seed shells have not fallen off when the melon seedlings emerge from the soil. The best time is in the morning; One week after sowing, the seedling tray can be moved to disconnect the roots growing out of the hole tray from the seedbed to promote the growth of fibrous roots and cover the seedling raising soil; In the late stage of seedling raising, seaweed fertilizers are used to promote leaf photosynthesis, make the leaves green, and facilitate rooting; Tebuconazole, fenpropimorph, Amicid, etc. are used to prevent fungal diseases, and copper hydroxide, spring thunder copper, and Zhongshengmycin are used to prevent bacterial diseases; Sulfoxaflor, spinetoram, avermectin phenylpropionate, and indoxacarb are used to control pests; (3) Transplanting: Water the ridges a few days before transplanting to avoid the sand being too loose when drilling holes, which will result in insufficient hole depth. Calculate the plant spacing according to the number of plants to be planted, and drill holes to determine the holes. Select melon seedlings with one leaf and one heart or two leaves and one heart for transplanting. The transplanting time should be after 3 pm. When transplanting, gently pinch the bottom of the hole tray, then gently lift the stem of the melon seedling, put it into the hole, cover it with soil, and cover it with 1 cm of seedling soil. After transplanting, immediately water the roots manually. The next day, use drip irrigation to fertilize the plants, and add rooting bucket fertilizer, such as seaweed and mineral-based potassium humate. At this time, rely on compound fertilizer and organic fertilizer to provide fertilizer for plant growth, and do not apply heavy fertilizer. (4) Field management: S1. Management during the seedling stage: Nitrogen is the main fertilizer in the early growth stage, and more organic fertilizers are applied. The planting method of 1 vine and 2 melons is adopted without pinching; S2. Management during the vine extension period: Use fluopyram for root irrigation, and apply potassium humate, amino acids, and trace elements; spray the leaves twice with calcium and boron-rich trace element fertilizers within 1 to 2 weeks before flowering; control water 4 to 5 days before flowering, and top the plants 2 to 4 days before flowering to force the plants to switch from vegetative growth to reproductive growth. At this time, the number of leaves of the plants reaches 24 to 26; S3. Vine tying: When the vine grows to 60 - 100 cm, carry out the first vine tying. Use nylon ropes to wind in the same direction. Vine tying should be done every 2 - 4 days to prevent the top from breaking. When the top reaches the height of the wire and the number of leaves reaches 24 - 26, stop vine tying. S4. Pruning: Remove the lateral buds on the main vine and all lateral branches with less than 10 leaves. The female flowers that appear on the lateral vines after the 10th leaf of the plant can be used as fruiting branches. When there are 2 fruits on 1 vine, 4 lateral vines need to be retained. S5. Topping: Top the main vine 4 - 6 leaves above the last fruit on the lateral vine. After removing the lateral buds, use mancozeb plus kasugamycin plus beta - cyfluthrin to prevent the spread of diseases. Before flowering, use zhongshengmycin plus pyraclostrobin plus dinotefuran for prevention. When thrips, whiteflies, or mites appear, use chlorfludiamide plus abamectin to kill whiteflies, use beta - cyfluthrin plus acetamiprid plus abamectin to kill thrips, and use bifenazate - etoxazole to kill mites. S6. Pollination: Mainly adopt artificial assisted pollination and supplemented by bee pollination. Artificial pollination needs to be completed within 3 - 4 hours after the male flower blooms. The temperature during pollination should not exceed 30 °C, as high temperature will reduce the activity of pollen. If hormone pollination is used, pollination needs to be carried out from one day before the female flower opens to one day after it blooms, and spray both sides of the small fruit with a sprayer. S7. Fruit swelling period: 4 - 5 days after pollination, carry out the operation of retaining fruits. Retain 2 fruits on 1 vine and select young fruits with normal development, bright color, slightly long fruit shape, and thick fruit stalks. Remove stunted fruits, diseased fruits, and deformed fruits. 4 - 12 days after pollination, which is the early swelling stage, gradually increase the supply of water and fertilizer. Supply calcium fertilizer and boron fertilizer, which are trace element fertilizers, to ensure the normal swelling of the fruit. From 8 days to 14 days after pollination, use nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers. For 8 - 10 days, high nitrogen is helpful for the fruit to elongate. After the fruit elongates, switch to balanced fertilizer. 12 - 29 days after pollination, reduce the water consumption at this time and apply trace element fertilizers rich in calcium and boron. Stop using calcium fertilizer after 15 - 20 days. In the late swelling stage, carry out a pruning operation once during this period and remove the lateral branches. Regularly spray kasugamycin, kasugamycin copper, zhongshengmycin, thiazole zinc, and tetcyclacis to prevent bacterial diseases, and use mancozeb, thiophanate - methyl, and difenoconazole to prevent fungal diseases. (5)Harvesting: The ripening period of thick - skinned melons is 35 - 44 days, and harvest in time.

[0007] Specifically, in step (1), the irrigation and drainage are as follows: Drain water in time on rainy days; Apply water and fertilizer at 9 am on sunny days and water at 12 pm; Water once at 9 am on cloudy days. Do not apply fertilizer unless necessary, and the watering duration is 1 - 4 minutes.

[0008] Specifically, in step (1), the land preparation and fertilization are as follows: glyphosate is used one month before the first crop land preparation; glufosinate is used for weeding after the land is prepared and covered with plastic film for the second crop.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. Select thick-skinned melon varieties that are heat-resistant, moisture-resistant, have good resistance and wide adaptability, and are paired with steel pipe multi-span greenhouses and insect-proof nets. This not only adapts to the high temperature and high humidity climate in South China but also effectively blocks pests, reduces diseases and pests, creates a good environment for the growth of melons, and can improve the survival rate of melon seedlings.

[0010] 2. The unique cropping pattern of starting planting from July to September and having three crops a year makes full use of time and land resources, increases yield and income. The integration of water and fertilizer combined with a scientific irrigation and drainage plan accurately supplies water and nutrients, meets the needs of each growth stage of melons, and at the same time avoids waterlogging and fertilizer waste, effectively improving resource utilization efficiency.

[0011] 3. The standardized seedling raising process, from seed selection to seedling raising period management, such as manual removal of caps, promoting the growth of fibrous roots, targeted fertilization and pest and disease control, cultivates strong melon seedlings, laying a foundation for high yield.

[0012] 4. The detailed treatment in the transplanting link ensures the survival rate of melon seedlings. In each stage of field management, such as the seedling stage, vine stretching stage, vine tying, pruning, topping, etc., operations are accurately regulated according to the growth law of melons to promote plant growth and fruit development. At the same time, targeted pest and disease control measures reduce the losses caused by pests and diseases and ensure fruit quality and yield.

[0013] 5. The clear number of days to maturity guides timely harvesting, ensures the quality of melons, and avoids losses caused by overripening or untimely harvesting. Specific Embodiments
