How Maintenance Melon
I use the cropping mix and cocopeat media. Treatment once a week with a comparison with NPK fertilizer 16:16:16 to the age of one month and then replaced KNO3 once a week with just one glass per polybag. I provide also a fungicide from trichoderma sp and beauveria bassiana insecticide to combat disease and the pest problem.
Some of the polybag grows not too good, because I think it's a delay I to move the cropping. However, there are some that could be expected to harvest, because of growing normally.
I grow fruit on candidate sections 10-15, and throw all the flowers outside of it. Why I choose these roads? because in these plants is felt already has enough power for the optimization of the quality of the fruit.
