The topping function of melon is to promote the germination of more lateral branches and vines, control the vegetative growth of stems and vines, promote the early fruiting and maturity of plants, and improve the quality and yield of fruits.

Melon core removal is a cultivation method to improve the quality and yield of melon, specifically to regulate the growth of plant stems and vines.

The core removal of melon is to remove the top growth point of plant seedlings, which is the so-called growth point of the highest growth part of plants.

Suitable topping time of melon

When the main vine of melon grows 4-5 true leaves, it can promote its vigorous growth.

How high is the topping melon?

In fact, the height of melon has nothing to do with height, but mainly with the growth state of melon.

Method for remove core of melon

The method of picking the melon core is to pinch the tips from two leaves of the main vine to three leaves of the main vine, leaving two stout sub-vines at the lower part, one melon on each root vine, two side branches in front of the melon and three leaves on each side branch, so as to ensure an average of 7-9 functional leaves and promote fruit development.

Matters needing attention in melon pit removal

It is best to pick the melon seeds after 10 in the morning, because the stems and leaves of the plants are soft at this time, and some unnecessary damage can be avoided when picking the seeds. Moreover, the temperature after 10 is higher, and the wounds heal quickly after picking the seeds, which can also reduce bacterial infection.

After peeling melon, it is enough to apply fertilizer similar to chrysanthemum, which can help the plant to resume growth as soon as possible.
