EFFECTS OF NPK COMBINED FERTILIZER (13:13:13 - TE) ON THE GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF KOREAN MELON VA.76 IN THE SEASON SPRING - SUMMER OF 2022 IN THANH HOA PROVINCE
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study was conducted in the spring-summer season of 2022 to build up the guide line for cultivation of Korean melon production under the condition in Thanh Hoa. The experiment consisted of 4 treatments of NPK fertilizer (13:13:13 + TE) with different doses labeled as CT1, CT2, CT3 and CT4, respectively, with 1200, 1400, 1600 and 1800 kg/ha arranged in randomized complete block (RCB) with 3 replicates. The amount of base fertilizer included 15 tons of Rotten manure + 400 kg calcined limestone/ha. Research results show that different doses of fertilizer have certain effects on the growth, yield and quality of Korean melon. In the spring-summer season of 2022, the growth time to harvest was 85 days, the actual yield was on average 50.8 - 65.6 tons/ha, the Brix quality was from 10.0 to 12.0%. The formula CT3 using 1.600 kg of NPK (13:13:13+TE)/ha had a total growth time of 85 days, the actual yield was 65.6 tons/ha, the Brix quality was 12.0%, the total income reached 984.0 million/ha and the highest net profit was 828.8 million/ha, profit margin reached 3.78 times. Therefore, this amount of fertilizer can be applied to Korean melon production under similar conditions.
