Five ways to increase the rate of watermelon sitting

　　 1. Adjust the watermelon cultivated in the open field, according to the local climatic conditions, appropriate early or delayed sowing, so that the melon period avoids the rainy season, in order to facilitate pollination and fertilization, thereby increasing the rate of sitting.

　　 2. Artificially assisted pollination of the second and third female flowers during the open period, in the sunny morning of the flowering period, the male flowers are taken off the petals and the female stigma is gently applied with anthers; in the rainy days, the female flowers are covered with a small plastic tube or paper bag Rain, artificial pollination. According to tests, artificial pollination than natural pollination sunny with no wind can increase the rate of more than 10% fruit set, fruit set in rainy days increase rate of more than 1-fold.

　　 3. When packing watermelon grow to 4-5 true leaves, no creeping growth, melon shovel from melon root 13 cm away cut out straight down, the more the better; shovels and plows may plowing But can't damage the main root. This is not to turn the soil up, but to smash the ground. In this way, the vegetative growth of the plant can be inhibited, and the slenderness and stem stalks can be prevented from being slender, and the roots can be grown vigorously, forming a large root system, which is favorable for flowering and sitting.

　　 4. The root is also called the root water, the practice is: in the second and third female flowers of watermelon, two 17 cm long wooden strips are fried in the oil pan, and then the ground in the melon root In a high place, the clip is clipped to the extent that the melon root is flat but the grain is constantly suitable. In the future, a shackle is formed in the folder, and the melon is not only stable but also grows large.

　　 5. Squeeze the stems on the stems behind the young melons and squeeze them hard. You can hear the "snap", so that the young melons can sit stably and prevent the melons. It is this truth that melons are "after the head, sitting in front of me."
