Shanghai benggua

Shanghai squash is named after its thin and brittle skin, which will crack when it is slightly hit when it is ripe. It is oblong in shape and slightly thick in the middle, like an olive-shaped bell, also known as the bell melon. The single weight is about 2 kg, and the largest one is 2.5-3 kg. The melon skin is light green, with light-colored flower reticulation. The skin is thin and crisp, the flesh is light yellow, the seeds are red, the meat is thick and juicy, the sweetness is particularly high, and the fragrance is refreshing. Collapsed melon plants are delicate, which requires higher growth environment. For example, choose fields with good irrigation and drainage conditions, apply sufficient base fertilizer, and only apply light fertilizer after fruiting, but not thick fertilizer and chemical fertilizer. For drought resistance, it is necessary to ditch irrigation and not flood irrigation, and pick melons in the afternoon to reduce cracking.
