The ripening time of melon is generally about 50 days after flowering, but the time required for different varieties of melon from flowering to fruit ripening is very different. The maturity of melon is closely related to its quality. If it is not harvested too late, its edible value will be reduced. Melon planting needs rich and deep soil, and sufficient fertilizer must be applied before planting. There are also many points to pay attention to in the process of melon planting.

1. Generally, the ripening time of melon is about 50 days after flowering, and it can be harvested from late April to early May. However, the time required for different varieties of melon from flowering to fruit ripening is very different, and the thin-skinned melon is generally 25-30 days; 35 days for early-maturing melon varieties and 50 days for medium-maturing melon varieties.

2. The quality of melon has a great relationship with fruit maturity. If the fruit is not mature enough, the sweetness will be low and the fragrance will be insufficient. However, if the fruit is harvested too late, the pulp will become soft and the edible value will be reduced. Therefore, muskmelon is suitable for early harvest, which is conducive to improving economic benefits.

3. Melon planting needs rich and deep soil, and it must be fully fertilized before planting. Moreover, when the melon grows to 6-8 real leaves, measures such as topping and coring should be taken to make the melon grow more side branches, so as to bear more fruits. After flowering and fruit setting, the lateral branches need topping treatment to prevent nutrient loss.
