How to cultivate watermelons
For many girls, the experience of cultivating watermelons and the new technology and management of green plant maintenance in watermelon cultivation will be introduced next. Let's take a look together.
Select the sowing and seedling raising time according to the watermelon variety, early spring watermelons are sown in March, autumn watermelons are sown in July, and the planting methods are as follows:
1. Seed treatment: First, soak the seeds in warm water and place them on a wet cloth to germinate.
2. Suitable soil: Usually, seedlings are raised in seedling trays, ensuring that the soil is loose, breathable, and fertile.
3. Planting in soil: Plant the treated seeds in seedling trays, sprinkle water, and place them in a greenhouse, controlling temperature and humidity appropriately. The seedlings can emerge in about a week.
I. Planting Time
To ensure the germination rate of watermelon seeds, attention should be paid to the time selection when planting. It is determined based on the cultivated variety. There are many varieties of watermelons cultivated now. If it is an early spring watermelon, it should be planted in March. If it is an autumn watermelon, it is best to plant it around July, and it can be harvested in autumn. In addition, the planting time should also be determined based on the climatic conditions of the region, which makes it easier to manage after planting and leads to a higher germination rate.
II. Seed Treatment
Watermelon seeds must be full and mature. Usually, seeds are purchased directly, which have a higher germination rate. Before sowing, the seeds need to be treated first, soaked in warm water to kill surface bacteria. After soaking, remove the seeds and place them on a wet cloth to germinate. After germination, move them to a container and keep them warm and moist. The seeds will soon germinate and can be sown after germination.
III. Suitable Soil
In order to ensure the later growth of watermelons, the soil used for sowing should be loose, breathable, and fertile. If planted directly in the ground, the plot must be prepared in advance, cleared of weeds, and ample base fertilizer applied, as well as tilling the land. The plot should be selected with sufficient sunlight and convenient drainage, as watermelons are afraid of waterlogging. Avoid water accumulation, otherwise it will affect later growth. Usually, seedlings are raised in seedling trays, and the soil can be mixed with garden soil, wood ash, and base fertilizer. The mixed soil should also be disinfected to prevent the presence of eggs or bacteria.
IV. Planting in Soil
Directly place the treated watermelon seeds in the seedling trays. The seeds can only germinate in a warm environment. After planting, water promptly and set up a small greenhouse, controlling the temperature between 28-35°C. In this environment, the seeds will germinate in about a week. After most of the seeds have emerged and grown stably, they can be transplanted into the soil.
