Why are watermelons long? Many farmers often experience excessive growth of watermelons due to improper field management and other reasons when working in watermelon cultivation. Let's take a look at the specific reasons and how to control the growth of watermelons together.
The Reason for Watermelon Lengthy
Watermelon overgrowth is related to high night temperatures. Most watermelon varieties produce their first melon at the age of 12 leaves. If the first melon has more than 15 leaves by the time it appears, it indicates that the watermelon has experienced overgrowth.
If nitrogen fertilizer is applied in the early stage of watermelon growth, it will cause plant growth to flourish, nutrient growth and reproductive growth to be imbalanced, and due to poor ventilation and light transmission in the field, it will be difficult for watermelon to bear fruit.
If there is insufficient light, high temperature, or high relative humidity in the soil air during early growth, it can also cause watermelon plants to grow excessively, making it difficult to bear fruit.
The Method of Controlling Watermelon Prosperity
During the planting process of watermelons, in order to prevent overgrowth and affect their growth, it is necessary to apply appropriate control drugs to control overgrowth.
Common growth control drugs for watermelon include chloramphenicol, high concentration potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and triazole fungicides. Among these common growth control drugs, triazole fungicides include propiconazole, nitriconazole, and flusilazole, which not only can prevent and control diseases but also play a role in growth control.
