The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural
crop planting, and provides an oriental sweet melon planting method in a downwards concave type
solar greenhouse in order to resolve the problems that as a
protected area adopts the
open field culture varieties and culturing technology and the
pruning mode is a creeping mode, fruit setting is difficult, coloring is slow, the yield is low, diseases are serious, the quality and yield are affected, the income for farmers is reduced, and further development of production of oriental sweet melons in the
protected area is restrained. By selecting excellent varieties, culturing strong seedlings, reasonably applying
fertilizer, managing the field, changing the
pruning mode, improving the plantation density of oriental sweet melons, increasing the ventilation and light-permeable capacity, adopting
bumblebee pollination or artificial auxiliary
pollination, improving the
time to market, improving the acre yield and prolonging the harvesting period, the effects of increasing of planting income for farmers, adjusting the
time to market and increasing the yield are realized. The yield of oriental sweet melons in the
protected area is increased by 100 percent, the time to the market is prolonged by 20 days, the density of reserved seedlings is increased by 25 percent, the
disease resistance of oriental sweet melons is improved, and the use amount of
pesticide is reduced.
