Effects of different fertilizer treatment on yield and quality of watermelon
This project aims to analyze the different fertilization effects on growth,yield and quality of watermelon by simplified cultivation under open field.A seedless watermelon was used as material and four filed plots including the contrast of non-fertilizer(F0),slow-release special fertilizer (F1),slow-release special fertilizer+ top dressing (F2),traditional compound fertilizer (F3) were tested.The results indicated that treatment F1 showed the highest fruit rate and the single fruit weight increased by 90.48% and 24.11% respectively heavier than F0 and F3,the F1 treatment also showed the highest yield,which increased by 143.14% and 51.58% respectively higher than F0 and F3.In conclusion,the use of slow-release special fertilizer as base fertilizer could reduce the labor cost,which is suitable for simplified watermelon cultivation.
