The reason why Kang Mingsong chose to plant a season of watermelons is not only because it is summer soon, which is the season of watermelons, but also because his own land is actually very watermelon-growing.

In the mountain villages, most of the land is sandy, and scientific studies have shown that the watermelons grown in the sandy land have the characteristics of sweet and refreshing, resistant to storage, and easy to transport. Watermelon planting requires a thick soil layer, deep root system, and good root permeability.

The temperature difference between day and night in sandy soil is large, the heat absorption is fast during the day, and the heat dissipation is also fast at night, which improves the taste of watermelon greatly, and the soil moisture in sandy land is small, and the sugar content of the melon planted is high.

Coupled with the high altitude, the temperature difference in the day is large, such as in the summer daytime, the temperature in the mountain village is basically about 30 degrees, but at night, the temperature will drop directly to about 20 degrees, and the temperature difference in the day is basically more than 10 degrees. This is more beneficial for the sugar storage of watermelon.

Moreover, the land of Kang Mingsong's family has basically been built into greenhouses, which can realize the regulation of temperature.

What's more, Cummingsong also has a super breeder, a big killer, which can breed watermelon varieties with particularly high sugar content.

Kang Mingsong believes that under various favorable conditions, he will be able to breed a particularly sweet watermelon variety.

………………

After upgrading the Super Breeder to Level 3, Kang Mingsong immediately cultivated the one-kilogram unicorn melon seeds that he had bought and carefully selected.

The reason why the unicorn melon was chosen is because it is a new variety that has been cultivated through scientific research, and the melon seed has very high requirements for the growing environment, soil and sunshine.

Since it only takes about 60 days from planting to flowering, from flowering to harvesting, even if the planting is exquisite, because of the short cycle, good taste and fast benefits, Kang Mingsong still set his sights on this variety.

In fact, Kang Mingsong has planted a small amount of two acres of unicorn melons in the planting base before.

Originally, Kang Mingsong was also worried that the land in the mountain village did not meet the growth environment of the unicorn melon, but it turned out that he did not know whether it was because after the cultivation of the super breeder, the adaptability of this watermelon variety with harsh growing conditions to the environment was greatly enhanced, or the environment of the mountain township was originally suitable for planting unicorn melon, anyway, the two acres of unicorn melon grew very well, and now all the fruits have been hung, and about a week or so, the first batch of unicorn melons can be harvested.

However, because the super breeders at that time could only breed three special attributes, it was definitely worse than it is today.

………………

Previously, Kang Mingsong chose to cultivate three special attributes, the first of which is the sugar content of melons. After all, the first thing people ask for watermelon is sweetness. For a watermelon variety, if you are not sweet enough, even if there are many other benefits, it is difficult for people to like it.

Many people like to eat unicorn melon in life, because compared to ordinary watermelon, unicorn melon is more sweet and juicy.

Of course, there is another reason that has to be ignored, that is, the size of the unicorn melon is appropriate, generally between five catties and ten catties, which is not too big, and it is definitely not small, which is the weight range that people are more likely to accept.

After all, for a family, it is generally three or five mouthfuls, and the watermelon bought is too big to eat in a short time. And if the watermelon is left for a long time, the freshness must have a great impact.

In this case, more than five catties of unicorn melon is undoubtedly a good choice, buy one and go home, and you can eat it in a day or two.

The second special attribute of cultivation is to enhance its health and beauty effects.

Watermelon juice also contains a variety of important health and beauty chemicals. It contains citrulline, alanine, glutamic acid, arginine, malic acid, phosphoric acid and other amino acids with physiological activity of the skin, as well as important metabolic components such as adenine, sugars, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.

These ingredients of watermelon are the easiest to be absorbed by the skin, and have a good effect on moisturizing, sunscreen and whitening of facial skin.

Cumminsong's approach is to use a super breeder to nurture this trait and increase the content of its related components.

The third special property of cultivation is to increase the amount of bean alcohol contained in it. This substance can help the body effectively remove reactive oxygen species from the body, and can also inhibit tyrosinase activity, thereby preventing the production of melanin.

Pigments are produced by organisms to fight ultraviolet rays, and melanin is the most powerful of all pigments and is highly effective.

When ultraviolet rays irradiate the chemical chain of melanin, the chemical chain of melanin vibrates at an extremely fast speed, converting 99% of the harmful ultraviolet rays into harmless heat, thus protecting the survival of the organism.

This is also the reason why people who live in Africa and those who live in the highlands have a heavier skin tone than others.

However, due to the difference in aesthetics, we need to properly inhibit melanin production. After all, whitening is a never-ending fashion topic for us Asians.

And watermelon, which contains a large amount of bean alcohol, a substance that can inhibit the production of melanin, will definitely become the object of crazy pursuit by beautiful children.

………………

Now, the fourth special attribute that Kang Mingsong intends to cultivate does not intend to make a fuss about the composition of the unicorn melon, after all, the ingredients of the watermelon are those, and the utility is also those, and the three attributes cultivated before have basically been taken into account.

Now, if you want to further improve the economic benefits of unicorn melon, you need to make a fuss about the output.

However, as a very special role of unicorn melon, it is definitely impossible to find a way to deal with its single weight, after all, if you grow a unicorn melon of dozens or hundreds of catties, I am afraid that people will not approve of it.

Therefore, if you want to increase the yield per unit area of unicorn melon, you need to consider another aspect, that is, the number of fruits per unit area.

Experienced melon farmers know that planting unicorn melons generally yields between 3,000 and 4,000 catties per mu. If it can reach 5,000 catties per mu, it is considered an absolute high yield, which is rare.

On the one hand, this is because of the small individual weight of the unicorn melon, and on the other hand, it has a lot to do with the hanging fruit of the unicorn melon. Of course, this is not to say that unicorn melons do not bloom too much and cause less fruit, but because their plants have limited ability to absorb water and fertilizer, and they dare not let the plants hang too many fruits. If there are too many fruits, the nutrient supply will not be available, which will only lead to stunted development of melons and even fall off.

What Kang Mingsong is cultivating now is to make the root system of the unicorn melon more developed and the ability to absorb water and fertilizer stronger, so that more melons can be retained on the plant of the unicorn melon, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing its yield.

Considering that unicorn melons only have a two-month growth period and can basically be planted three to four seasons a year, Kang Mingsong believes that the super unicorn melons he has cultivated are very rich.
