Abstract:

Because the homestead reclamation land which in new installation were unsuitable for cultivation, to recovery it agricultural production ability as soon as possible, this study conducted a bag culture method to plant muskmelon under quantitative fertilizer and water management. The bag culture substrates were composed by peat, vermiculite, perlite and agricultural wastes in five volume ration. An experiment was conducted to study the effects of 5 substrates physical and chemical property, pH, conductivity, the content of organic matter and nutrient, microbial biomass and enzyme activities on muskmelon yield and quality. The results showed that the optimization substrates formula to culture muskmelon in bag was peat: perlite: vermiculite: agricultural wastes=1:1:1:0.3 and peat: perlite: vermiculite: agricultural wastes=0.5:1:1:0.4, while various factors above were considered comprehensively.
