How to grow honeydew melon

1. Site selection and land preparation: When planting cantaloupe, it is necessary to avoid continuous cropping. The soil used should be loose, fertile, and rich in organic matter. Sandy loam is generally chosen. The soil needs to be deep plowed before planting, and appropriate amounts of fertilizer should be applied.

2. Seed soaking and disinfection: Before planting cantaloupe, you need to select suitable seeds, then disinfect them, and after rinsing them with clean water, they need to be germinated.

3. Sowing: When sowing cantaloupe, the soil temperature must be stabilized at 14 degrees. Generally, the hole sowing method is adopted. The plant spacing should be maintained between 45-60 cm, and 2-3 seeds should be placed in each hole.

Precautions for planting honeydew melon

After sowing honeydew melons, you need to pay attention to thinning out the seedlings when they grow to 1-2 true leaves. Keep 2 healthy seedlings in each hole. Some weak and diseased seedlings need to be removed. Regular tillage and weeding should be carried out to promote root growth and development.
