网纹甜瓜网纹形成期灌水制度的探索

Influence of Irrigation on Rind Netting Muskmelon Cultivation

优美的网纹是网纹甜瓜的一个重要品质指标,其与土壤含水量关系密切,为了提高网纹甜瓜的商品率,亟需探索北京地区网纹甜瓜适宜的灌水制度。通过实时监测土壤含水量,依据网纹甜瓜需水规律进行灌溉,与常规经验灌溉方式相比较,植株长势稍弱,产量稍低,但果实品质和商品率显著提高,更能满足高端市场的需求。初步认为按需灌水利于网纹的形成,最佳灌水时间和灌水量等有待进一步研究。

Graceful netting is one of the important quality characteristics of rind netting muskmelon（Cucumis melo L.var. reticulatus Naud.）, and the formation of nets is closely related with the soil moisture content. Inorder to improve the marketable rate of netting muskmelon, exploring the suitable irrigation system of rindnetting muskmelon in Beijing becomes a must. Compared with the conventional irrigation approach, under theirrigation based on real- time soil moisture content and plant water demand, the rind netting muskmelon performs weaker in growth potential and yield, but significantly better in fruit quality and marketable rate,which fulfills the need of the high-end markets. In conclusion, the on-demand irrigation is a suitable way for the formation of nets. On the other hand, the timing and quantity of irrigation still needs further study.
