Open-field watermelon planting technology

With the improvement of modern planting technology, watermelon has basically become a product of greenhouses. However, we must know that even though greenhouse planting has many advantages, open-air watermelons still exist for various reasons. However, open-air watermelons will encounter various problems, such as pests and diseases, weather problems, etc. So in the following content, we will briefly introduce the planting technology of open-air watermelons. I hope everyone can learn about it, not only greenhouse watermelons, but also our traditional open-air watermelon planting technology.

Open-field watermelon planting technology

1. Select the site and soil

Choose soil suitable for watermelon growth. It should be fertile and easy to irrigate. Watermelon is a fruit that needs nutrients and water, so you must be careful when choosing the right land and soil. Because there is no temperature regulation in the greenhouse, water and soil are particularly important. This is the first step to planting open-air watermelons. Remember it.

2. Sow seeds at the right time

The planting of open-air watermelons also requires appropriate sowing according to the time, especially when the uncontrollable factors of open-air watermelons increase, we must do our best to control the factors that can be controlled. Generally speaking, the best time to sow watermelons is around July, so that we can ensure that the open-air watermelons we sow can be put on the market on time by the Mid-Autumn Festival or National Day.

3. Post-management

The post-management of open-air watermelons is also a major challenge that we must overcome. Due to the particularity of open-air watermelon planting, the difficulty of planting is increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in the prevention and management of pests and diseases. Although watermelons do not require pesticides to eliminate pests, regular spraying is still necessary, so low-concentration pesticides are needed, which not only ensures the effect, but also ensures that it is non-toxic. And because of the open-air environment, it is especially necessary to be fully prepared when the weather is bad to avoid the decline of watermelon growth due to bad weather.
