Watermelon is a plant that is afraid of waterlogging and drought, so water it carefully. Generally, small water is used to keep the soil moist (but when the soil humidity is lower than 50%, the seedlings will suffer from drought). Too much water is easy to cause root rot, death or white growth. Three days after planting, timely check the seedlings to make up for the deficiency, and according to the situation of melon seedlings, use appropriate amount of ammonium bicarbonate to raise seedlings or apply partial fertilizer to promote the seedlings to be neat. When creeping, apply15-20kg compound fertilizer per mu, and water a little after application to promote the healthy growth of stems and vines. If the seedlings are strong and grow vigorously, fertilization should be controlled to prevent excessive growth. Proper ventilation and increased light are needed from the delay of seedling stage to the stage of melon sitting. During this period, the temperature in the shed shall not be higher than 30-32℃ during the day and lower than 15℃ at night.
