Cantaloupe Planting Guide:
Sow the budded seeds manually in the hole with the buds facing downwards, and cover the soil with 1 cm to buckle the shed. After emergence, the temperature in the shed should be kept at 22-25°C and not exceed 32°C. If the temperature at night is lower than 5°C,
cover it with thatch to keep it warm.

Humidity: Do not water before seedlings emerge. Water when the mud turns white after seedlings emerge. Control watering 4-5 days before transplanting.

Ventilation and seedling hardening: After all the melon seedlings have emerged,the greenhouse temperature should be controlled at 22°C. Ventilation should be carried out if it exceeds 30°C to prevent excessive growth. One week before transplanting, large ventilation should be used for seedling hardening. Melon fields cannot be continuously cropped, and the general rotation period is 4-5 years. Choose wheat and corn stubble and avoid bean stubble. Can be planted in any general soil. It likes sandy loam with loose, thick, fertile soil and good permeability. Melons are drought-tolerant but not flood-resistant. When choosing land, do not choose low-lying land prone to waterlogging to plant melons. Land preparation should be carried out in autumn, leveled, harrowed and broken to reach the sowing state. Before transplanting, the hole spacing is determined according to the variety, generally 0.30 meters. When there are 2-3 true leaves, thin out the seedlings and leave 3-4 plants in each colony; when the true leaves have 3-4 leaves, thin the seedlings and leave one strong seedling in each colony. Immediately after transplanting (the direct seeding field has 2-3 true leaves), subsoiling is carried out to a depth of 35 cm. Weeds on the edge of the film are manually eradicated. Weeding is carried out before smoothing the vines to ensure that there are no large grasses during the growth period. . Generally, both main vines and sun vines can produce melons. In terms of production, Sunman melon is generally used. Multi-vine pruning is used, that is, when the seedlings have 4-5 true leaves, 4 true leaves are left for main vine topping. After the sub-vines are stretched out, 3-4 strong main vines are selected. When the seedlings grow to 5-6 true leaves, When the leaves are in bloom, top the vines again, leaving 3-4 vines on the whole plant. After the female flowers appear on the vines, leave 1-2 leaves in front of the flowers for topping. At the same time, remove all the remaining branches. Generally, 3-4 vines are left on the whole plant. 4 melons are suitable.
