SU1639492A1 - Method of acceleration of fruit ripening of melon crops - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of agriculture, namely melon-growing. The purpose of the invention is to increase the efficiency of the method and increase the yield. In the second half of the phase of fruit formation in watermelons, melons and pumpkins, 50-250 g of dry plant ash is introduced under each fruit, simultaneously removing the leaves from the plants. The best results are obtained by adding 100 g of ash with simultaneous removal of leaves. At the same time, the time of ripening of fruits at watermelons decreased from 45-53 to 37-45. and melons - from 47-51 to 39-43 and in pumpkin - from 60-63 to 50-59 days. At the same time, an increase in the mass of fruits, an improvement in the taste, as well as an increase in the quality of seeds and their germination, were noted.

Description

The invention relates to the field of agriculture, namely melon-growing.

The purpose of the invention is to increase the efficiency of the method and increase the yield.

Studies were carried out in 1983-1986 at an agrobiological station.

The experiment used varieties of watermelon Rosa Southeast, Melitopol 142, Dessert 5 melons, lemon yellow, and Mozolevsk 10 pumpkins, Mantna. Each variety was planted on 400 m2 in quadruplicate,

In order to study the effect of plant ash on the acceleration of ripening, 50. 100, 150, 200 and 250 g of dry plant ash were applied under each fruit in the second half of the fruit growing phase.

The fruit formation phase begins with the appearance of 10% of fruits on 1 hectare, and ends with the appearance of 70% of fruits and more. Next comes the phase of maturation.

The fruit formation phase in watermelons lasts 30-35 days, in melons - 30-35 days, in pumpkin - 40-41 days.

Ashes under the fruit were introduced, respectively, in watermelons and melons in 25-30 days from the beginning of the fruit formation phase, and in pumpkin - in 32-33 days.

At the same time, the leaves were removed from the plants. During this period, the processes of assimilation and dissimilation in the leaves weaken, and nutrients in the fruit enter through the root system. In addition, after the leaves have been removed, the fruits are exposed to solar radiation, which also accelerates their ripening.

In the control plants of watermelons that did not undergo these treatments, the fruit-growing and ripening phase lasted 45-53 days, and in the experimental plants, it was -37-45 days.

In melon plants in the control, the fruits ripened in 47-51 days, and in the experiment - in 39-43

days; in pumpkin varieties, respectively, in 60–63, also, an improvement in the quality of seeds and their 40–59 days.

The best results in precocity and the formula of the invention fruit quality obtained by making 100 g. Method of accelerating fruit ripening. ash under the fruit. With an increase in the number of 5-gourds, including the use of ash, burns were observed on the outer side of the litter under the fruit during the period of their ripening and shortening storage. The purpose of increasing the efficiency of the method and Reducing the amount of ash to 50 percent of the increase in yield, as a sub-effective method. 10 styli use wood ash in the amount of Ash and the removal of leaves with a capacity of 50-250 g per fruit in the second This also leads to an increase in the mass of the half-phase of fruit formation from the monodeness, the improvement of their taste, by removing the leaves from the plants.
