In the rest of the day, the watermelon is pollinated in the morning, and the vines of the melon and reticulated melon are combed in the afternoon.

Neat vines, the benefits are already being revealed.

Not only has pollination become easier, but it is also very easy to check the growth of watermelons.

Golden beauty, a plant of three melons or three or four.

There are two main vines and one or two secondary vines.

Because of the color marking, Ye Mo and they know the specific pollination time of the watermelon.

The main vine is growing vigorously and has climbed to the top of the shelf. In nine days, there are at least 3 or more watermelons that are in good condition on the main vine......

The location of the melon has a great influence on the size of the fruit and the level of yield.

Generally speaking, the first female flower of the main vine will lead to small fruits and poor quality due to insufficient nutrition, such as deformed melons and hollow fruits. Its yield is one-third less than that of the melon on which the second female flower sits.

The watermelon here in Ye Mo, the melon vine grows strongly, and the root system is developed, so there is no such situation. There is no difference between the first female flower sitting on the melon and the second and third female flowers sitting on the melon.

The flowering period on the seed greenhouse side is much earlier, which can be regarded as the experimental field of Ye Mo and their side.

The two melons on the main vine have an interval of more than 6 days, one large and one small.

If there are two melons on the secondary vine, the first melon on the secondary vine is about 4 days later than the first melon on the main vine. The second melon of the secondary vine, 8-10 days late.

If there is only one melon on the secondary vine, it is easy to say. You can stay as much as you want......

While pollinating the watermelon, pick out the watermelon to keep and pinch the tip by the way. Try to achieve four melons in one plant, and only a few secondary vines have not grown well, so keep three melons.

Little Golden Phoenix and Little Bee, these two small melons, normally two or three catties apiece. Of these two kinds of watermelons, most growers are not pursuing large watermelons, but trying to make watermelons small. As small as holding a watermelon in one hand, it is best.

The crispy mouths that were popular on the market in the past are this kind of small watermelons. The watermelon is small, thin-skinned, delicate in flesh, and has a good taste.

Those small watermelons are basically more than one melon. Otherwise, three or four thousand plants are planted in one acre of greenhouses and hung with ropes.

The watermelon vine on Ye Mo's side is very thick, especially the root section of the main vine, and the thickest sections are as thick as the middle finger. Even if it's rough, the color is still very difficult.

The two small watermelon varieties are all three vines in one plant, and each vine should be left with two vines as much as possible. One plant is six......

Muskmelon and reticulated melon, after the watermelon finished sitting melon, also bloomed one after another.

The pollination time for these two melons is also in the morning, and the best time is between 8 and 10 o'clock......

During this time, I have been pollinating watermelons, and everyone's speed has also been trained.

The remaining 44 greenhouses are pollinated once in the morning. There are colored markers, just mark the pollinated flower seats.

Pollinate the melon in the morning, and go down to work on the watermelon.

The melon also left 3 vines, one vine and 2 melons. The pollination work should continue until after 6 melons......

……

Pollinated watermelon, which then begins to swell, every few days.

During this period, it is necessary to maintain the moisture of the soil and spray foliar fertilizer once...... Wait until all the watermelons are solid before watering, that is, water and fertilizer management.

There is a spiritual spring, and the watermelon on Ye Mo's side is actually not much particular about management.

If there is no spiritual spring, according to Ye Mo's management method, it will definitely not work. Or if there is less spiritual spring, it will not work.

Hectic and busy, time flies quickly.

It's December.

Pollination has also been completed with muskmelons, and 6 melons per plant should be kept as much as possible. Reticulated melon, one plant with three vines, one vine to protect one melon, that is, one plant with three melons.

Muskmelon and reticulated melon are also completed by sitting melon.

Afternoon.

The workers continued their work in the watermelon greenhouse, netting the watermelons and hoisting them.

The largest golden beauty is already five or six pounds each, and if there is no net to hang on, the guati of the watermelon may not be able to bear this weight.

Now that he is not busy with work, Ye Mo will not go to the field in person, basking in the sun and drinking tea on the recliner outside the warehouse.

The temperature is just right, and the outdoor temperature is in the early 20s during the day, which is particularly comfortable.

The sun was so warm that I was almost about to fall asleep, when my husband came over: "You are comfortable." ”

Ye Mo smiled and rubbed his face: "The tanker truck is coming?" ”

"Come right here." The old man said.

The greenhouse on Ye Mo's side should maintain the most suitable temperature for the growth of melons and vines, and the greenhouse must be heated almost every night. Occasionally, the greenhouse should be heated during the day......

Fuel consumption is very high.

When the heater is left on for one hour, the maximum fuel consumption is 16 liters.

On average, it's about 15 liters per hour.

Two days ago, there was a sudden cooling, light rain, a maximum of 12 degrees during the day, and a minimum temperature of 4 degrees at night.

In just one day, Ye Mo consumed more than 80,000 yuan in fuel costs.

In the next few days, the temperature at night was also very low, more than 20,000 a day.

From the installation of the heater to the present, the oil cost has dropped by 450,000 yuan in more than a month. If you count the full tank this time, the fuel cost will be more than 500,000 yuan.

The electricity bill was recharged with 100,000 yuan, and there were more than 60,000 left.

As long as the sun is out, it hasn't rained...... The exhaust fan should be turned on at noon.

375 2.2kw exhaust fans consume more than 800 kilowatt-hours of electricity in an hour, which is very scary.

The fuel truck came over, and it was worth tens of thousands of dollars to fill up all the heaters.

"The cost of your greenhouse is really not small." Lin Shan sighed.

"As long as the watermelons are all ripe, they are very profitable." Ye Mo smiled and lit a cigarette for his father-in-law, and saw Tang Sui, who was a little bald, riding a battery car.

"Bald baby, what's wrong with you." Tang Sui approached, and Ye Mo saw that he was covered in mud and said.

"The road on the other side of the gravel slope was slippery and I fell." Tang Sui said: "Is the unicorn melon on your side ripe?" ”

"Not yet."

"Not ripe yet?" Tang Sui wanted to come and see the quality of the watermelon on Ye Mo's side.

"The unicorn melon is a left-behind melon, which is late ripening." Ye Mo said.

"How can you manage it, and you can still make the unicorn melon late ripe?"

"Lower the temperature of the greenhouse." Ye Mo said confusedly, looked at Tang Sui a few times, and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, why are you bald again." "He used to be a little bald, but now he's even more bald.

"Damn, I'm worried." Tang Sui scratched his head and said, "I have a greenhouse that copied your homework, and almost wiped out the whole army." ”

"I told you before, the unicorn melon over there has a maximum of two vines, one vine and one melon. You don't have to listen...... Ye Mo took out a cigarette and handed him one: "What's the matter with you coming here." ”

"Come and take a look at your greenhouse." Tang Sui said: "The little watermelon on your side should be almost ripe, right?" ”

"In three or five days, the first batch of melons pollinated should be ripe."

"I'm already sitting on the melon." Speaking of this, Tang Sui was a little excited, and then said: "Have you negotiated the price with Li Xuebin, how beautiful the watermelon is over there." ”

"Not yet." Ye Mo said: "What's so exciting about the second stubble of melons and fruits, there are several melons in one batch on my side." ”

Tang Sui rolled his eyes and said, "How do you manage those melons." I said in the group that 6 melons were managed at the same time, and the 6 melons were growing very well, and none of the people in the group believed it. How do you manage it? ”

"That's how it was managed." Ye Mo spread his hands.

There are 17 greenhouses on the Tang Sui side, of which 13 greenhouses are managed according to one plant and one melon tube.

His watermelons are 7-10 days away from the picking period.

Leave the main vine first, and leave one or two side vines when the main vine is more than half a meter high. Keep one melon first, and when the first melon is still 7-10 days away from the ripening period, select two melons on the vine that has not sat on the melon, that is, pollinate the female flowers...... Be precise in your timing. In this way, after a melon is picked, water and fertilizer management can be carried out, and then one or two new vines can be selected, which is three stubble melons, and so on, four stubble melons, five stubble melons, the same......

The premise is that the melon vine cannot age. As long as the melon vine does not age and the temperature is right, the new vine can grow forever.

Greenhouses are the most suitable for cultivating multi-ripe watermelons, especially greenhouses with temperature control management.

Ye Mo has been busy with his own affairs, he hasn't been to Gravel Mountain for a long time, and Tang Sui rarely comes up, so he often communicates with Ye Mo on the phone.
