How to grow winter melon to get high yield

1. The germination temperature of winter melon is about 15 degrees, so it is generally planted in January and February in spring, so that its seeds can germinate quickly. Around July to August in autumn, the winter melon seedlings can be transplanted.

2. Winter melon has certain requirements for planting soil. It needs to be planted in loose, fertile, well-drained sandy soil. The soil can be loosened before planting, which can improve the soil drainage.

3. Before sowing winter melon, you can soak good quality seeds in carbendazim for 30 minutes. The cultivated seedlings must be spaced 65-70cm apart, and then plant the seedlings in the soil. After planting, water them thoroughly once, or spray them with a high-lipid film solution.

4. Winter melon is a sun-loving plant, so short-day and low temperature are conducive to germination and differentiation during its growth. It is not resistant to strong light exposure, so it is necessary to pay attention to shade in summer. If it encounters long-term rainy and low temperature during its growth, it is necessary to reduce watering and take good drainage measures.
