1. Disinfection of cantaloupe seeds

If you want to reduce the occurrence of melon wilt and leaf blight, it is very important to disinfect its seeds before planting. The specific method is to soak the melon seeds in warm water at about 50 degrees, then soak them in formalin solution for an hour, and then germinate and sow them, which can greatly reduce the chance of melon diseases.

2. Practice crop rotation

Muskmelon cannot be planted in the same plot of land for a long time. If it is planted for more than two consecutive years, the chance of it developing bacterial wilt and leaf blight will increase significantly. The best way is to rotate the cantaloupe with some non-melon crops, exchanging them every two years. This can also help prevent bacterial wilt.

3. Drug treatment

When cantaloupe is infected with bacterial wilt and leaf blight during its growth period, drugs can be used for treatment in time. In the early stage of the disease, 27% of Guogao Shang suspension can be used, or 50% of copper phthalate wettable powder can be sprayed. When the disease is serious, copper soap solution or Bordeaux solution can be used for spraying. When the disease is serious, spray once every five days, and spray three times in a row, so that the disease can be effectively controlled.
