The two most important factors for the growth, yield, and quality of melon are: Nutrition and Irrigation.
Melons mainly rely on passive nutrition, with most nutrients supplied through irrigation water. These two factors become even more critical when cantaloupes are grown in substrate bags.
Automatic Melon irrigation Solution determine both the ability to provide moisture and the capacity to supply nutrients to the melon.
For melon, there is only one suitable irrigation method that brings high economic efficiency: Drip irrigation. However, since melons are commonly grown in two forms: melons grown in substrate bags and melons grown in soil beds, two corresponding automatic irrigation methods are applied. These are drip irrigation using drip stakes combined with anti-leak pressure-compensating drip emitters, and drip irrigation using drip lines laid along the beds.
Important note: Apply anti-leak pressure-compensating drip emitters! Use high-frequency, intermittent irrigation techniques.
Irrigation solution for melons grown in substrate bags
When melons are grown in substrate bags, the most suitable solution is to use drip stakes. Accordingly, each substrate bag growing a melon plant will be irrigated by one drip stake.
The system model will include: water supply source; filter; automatic fertigation system; automatic controller, solenoid valve; main and branch water piping system along with lateral tubing (laid along the rows of melon pots); and a set of drip stakes (consisting of pressure-compensated drippers, 2-way or 4-way connectors, 3mm tubing segments, and the drip stakes themselves).
Drip irrigation solution for melons grown on soil beds
For melons grown on soil beds, the commonly applied solution is drip irrigation with drip lines laid along the beds. In this method, drip tubing with emitter spacing of about 20 cm is laid along each row of melons. Typically, one drip line runs along one row of melons, or one drip line serves two rows.
This model is simpler compared to the drip irrigation system for melon grown in substrate bags. The irrigation system includes a water supply source; filter; automatic fertigation system; automatic controller, solenoid valve; main and branch water piping; and drip tubing.
Driptec dripline is the Thin-wall dripline with some outstanding features such as diverse thickness, emitter spacing and flow rate. Especially the driplines are produced on modern, highly automated technological lines, quality has been verified for more than 10 years in the Vietnamese market.
