How to keep seeds when cutting melonsYou can save seeds from chopped melons, but don't choose those that have already been cut, as the seeds of these are poorly developed. When planting, it is best to save the better quality chopped melons for use as seeds, so that the survival rate will be higher. Cut melon seeds for preservationAfter harvesting the melon seeds, they can be stored and preserved in a ventilated and cool place to prevent moisture and ensure the survival rate. It is best to sow them as soon as possible. Cut melon seeds for plantingThe melon likes a warm environment and is suitable for sowing in spring. The best time is from March to May. The specific sowing time varies depending on the planting location. 1. Seed soaking and germination The melons can be sown directly or transplanted. The seeds should be exposed to the sun for 2-3 hours in advance, then blanched in 55-degree hot water for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. After the water temperature drops, replace with clean water and soak for 8-10 hours, then place in an environment of 28 degrees for germination and sowing. 2. Soil configuration Before planting the melon, you need to prepare suitable soil. You can use fertile and pest-free garden soil, fully decomposed compost, fine sand or peat, mix them thoroughly, and add some Green Heng No. 3 and 100 grams of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane. Cover the pile with plastic film for 2 days, and cover it with 0.8 cm of fine soil after sowing. 3. Seedling management If the ambient temperature is low, you need to cover the seedbed with plastic film to keep it warm and moist. The temperature should be kept between 25 and 30 degrees before germination. If the temperature is high after germination, remove the film in time. The temperature should be maintained between 25-30 degrees during the day and 16-18 degrees at night. |
