How to ensure the neat emergence of watermelon

Now, vegetable farmers who plan to plant watermelons in early spring have begun to raise seedlings. According to the author’s observation, the depth of the nursery bed used by the melon grower is equivalent to the height of the plug tray, but when the vegetable grower sets the nursery bed, in order to facilitate the placement of the plugs, the width of the seedling bed should be 5~10 wider than the sum of the lengths of the two plugs. Centimeters, after the farmers have placed the plugs, there will be gaps between the edge of the plugs and the edge of the seedbed, so that the water retention of the edge of the nursery bed is reduced, and the substrate is prone to lack of water, resulting in uneven emergence. The melon grower can cover soil around the seedbed to fill the gap between the plug and the seedbed, so that the water retention capacity of the entire seedbed is consistent, which is conducive to the neat emergence of seedlings. Of course, melon farmers can also fill the gaps in agricultural papers with waste mulch or straw around the seedbeds to enhance the water retention capacity around the plugs and ensure that the seedlings are unearthed neatly.
