Watering is a critical aspect of muskmelon cultivation, as the plant requires consistent moisture but is highly sensitive to overwatering. Proper irrigation should be tailored according to local climate conditions, soil type, and the growth stage of the plant. Effective water management ensures healthy development and high-quality fruit. During the early seedling stage, which occurs 6 to 7 days after planting, it's important to provide just enough water—typically one application of "Huanmiao" water. At this point, the plants are small, and their water needs are minimal. Excessive watering can lower soil temperature, which may hinder growth. In greenhouse or protected environments, where evaporation is limited, overwatering can lead to leggy, weak seedlings. Therefore, it’s essential to maintain a relative humidity below 60%, as muskmelons are not tolerant of high humidity. Lower humidity during the maturation phase also helps improve fruit quality. Once the vines begin to extend, the plant's water and nutrient demands increase. This is an ideal time to apply fertilizer along with irrigation. A balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium is recommended, applied about 10–15 cm away from the base of the plant. After fertilizing, it’s important to water immediately. However, excessive watering before flowering can cause flower drop and fruit loss, so caution is necessary at this stage. As the young melons grow to the size of a table tennis ball, they enter the fruit expansion phase. At this point, the plant's energy shifts from leaf growth to fruit development. Insufficient water or nutrients during this period can severely impact fruit size and quality. This is the most critical time for irrigation and fertilization. It’s best to reduce nitrogen and focus on phosphorus and potassium. Watering should be done 1–10 days after fertilizing, depending on soil conditions. Around 15–20 days after flowering, the fruit enters the hardening stage, and the characteristic net pattern begins to form on its surface. To ensure a well-defined reticulated appearance, it’s advisable to reduce watering about a week before the netting forms. Once the pattern is established, gradually increase moisture to promote fruit enlargement and complete the network structure. If the soil becomes too dry, the netting may appear thin and incomplete, affecting the fruit’s visual appeal. As the melon approaches maturity, it’s crucial to control water levels and keep the soil relatively dry. This helps enhance flavor, sweetness, and overall quality. Proper irrigation throughout the growing cycle is key to producing high-quality muskmelons that are both visually appealing and delicious.
