Shuangjing Watermelons are Sweet and Big, with Package Fertilization Taking the Lead

Last year, Hubei Yishizhuang, in collaboration with Professor Bie Zhilong from Huazhong Agricultural University, conducted a watermelon package fertilization experiment in Shuangjing Village, Jingmen City, Hubei Province. Compared with customary fertilization, it had a significant effect on increasing production and improving quality. This year, the package fertilization model has been widely applied. As the harvest season arrives again, Yishizhuang invited an expert group to conduct another yield measurement and acceptance.

Shuangjing Village is the largest protected - cultivation watermelon planting base in Hubei Province, and the "Jingshuangjing" watermelon brand is well - known. Based on last year's experiment, this year, the demonstration area of Yishizhuang's watermelon package fertilization model has expanded to 150 mu, with a radiation area of over 6,000 mu. Through follow - up visits, watermelon farmers all said that the effect was good, mainly reflected in: good growth in the early seedling stage, control of excessive growth, high pollination and fruit - setting rate in the middle stage, and fewer cracked fruits, large fruits with good shape, and high sugar content in the later stage.

Led by Professor Bie Zhilong from Huazhong Agricultural University, the expert group carried out a comparative yield measurement and acceptance of the watermelon shed of Farmer Yang. After professional measurement of values such as the single - fruit weight, central sugar content, and edge sugar content of watermelons in the demonstration greenhouse and the control greenhouse, the results showed that compared with customary fertilization, the yield of Yishizhuang's watermelon package fertilizer increased significantly.

In view of the yield - increasing and quality - improving effect of Yishizhuang's watermelon package fertilizer, the local government vigorously promoted the scientific fertilization model during the watermelon harvest festival, and distributed Yishizhuang's special fertilizer for watermelons as prizes to the winners, striving to grow even more fragrant and sweet big watermelons and win big prizes next year.

Recommended fertilization plan for Yishizhuang's special package fertilizer for watermelons: For base fertilizer, apply 40 - 50 kg/mu of Yishizhuang 42% 18 - 8 - 16 special fertilizer for watermelons and melons and 200 - 1000 kg/mu of Yishizhuang bio - organic fertilizer per mu; for top - dressing, apply 10 kg/mu of Yishizhuang 45% 15 - 5 - 25 tower - type fulvic acid fertilizer when the watermelon is the size of an egg, and apply 10 kg/mu of Yishizhuang 45% 15 - 5 - 25 tower - type fulvic acid fertilizer when the watermelon is the size of a bowl.
