How much is the yield of Hami melon per acre? What is the cost and profit of planting Hami melon per acre?

Hami melon yield per mu

The yield of Hami melon is affected by the environment, variety and soil, and the yield per mu is different. Generally, the yield per mu of Hami melon is about 2,000 kilograms , which is relatively normal. If the soil is fertile and the variety is excellent, the yield per mu of Hami melon can reach 3,000 kilograms.

Prospects for Hami melon cultivation

1. Planting cost

  1,500 plants can be planted per acre, and under normal management levels, 4,000 kilograms of Hami melons can be produced. The market price of Hami melons is relatively stable now, and the price is basically stable at 3 yuan per kilogram, so planting one acre of Hami melons can generate an income of 12,000 yuan.

Planting Hami melons requires costs such as seedlings, fertilizers, pesticides, and labor, which add up to about 4,000 yuan. Therefore, planting one acre of Hami melons can make a profit of about 8,000 yuan . The cost is average. If the market is good, the profit from Hami melon planting will continue to increase.

2. Planting prospects

Hami melon is very nutritious, contains a lot of various trace elements, has a sweet taste, and is suitable for a wide range of people, especially for people with anemia.

Therefore, there is basically no need to worry about Hami melons not being able to be sold. However, due to the imperfect planting technology and the relatively simple product, the quality of Hami melons has not improved much for a long time. Many people prefer melons that taste very similar to Hami melons, which has led to a decline in the price and sales of Hami melons. Therefore, we need to strengthen the management of Hami melon quality so that we can still compete with other substitutes. We still need to be prepared to make profits from Hami melons.

How to grow cantaloupe for high yield

1. Fertilization and film laying on the ground: According to the growth characteristics of Hami melon, it is suitable to be planted in loose soil, good permeability loam, sandy loam or light clay. When planting Hami melon, continuous cropping should not be chosen, as this will affect the growth of Hami melon.

2. Seed treatment: After selecting full seeds, they should be soaked in trisodium phosphate for about 30 minutes, then taken out after washing. Be sure to dry them slightly before sowing. Wait until the temperature reaches 15 degrees 10 cm below the film before sowing.

3. Fertilization: To supplement the trace elements in the soil, a large amount of organic fertilizer needs to be applied as base fertilizer. In spring, decomposed farmyard manure needs to be applied to melons. In autumn, organic fertilizer and triple compound fertilizer need to be applied to melons because the land preparation and ridge making is in the high temperature period. During the fruit expansion period, triple drip irrigation fertilizer is applied. After the fruit network pattern is formed, potassium dihydrogen phosphate is applied. Pay attention to water control when harvesting.

4. Field management: Pruning can control vegetative growth and promote reproductive growth. Stop pruning after the young fruit is firmly established to increase the nutritional area of ​​the plant and enhance the plant's resistance to stress, which is very helpful for increasing fruit yield. When the melon seedlings grow to have 5-6 true leaves, press the vines on the melon bed with soil. Then, it is appropriate to press the vines 2-3 times as they grow. Use the single vine pruning method and remove all side branches above the fruit node to avoid affecting the growth and development of the melon.
