(Baonghean.vn) - After nearly 2 months of diligent care, the greenhouse area for growing melons using Israeli technology in Hamlet 2 Hoi Son (Anh Son) is ready for harvest. This success opens up a new direction for agriculture without soil in Nghe An.
 |
| Mr. Truong Van Hoa's first greenhouse in Hamlet 2, Hoi Son, has 2,000 melon trees, each tree produces one fruit; it will be ready for harvest in about a week and each fruit will weigh 1.5 to 2kg. In the photo: A care engineer is cutting leaves to reduce water evaporation for the melons. |
 |
| Each melon is a coconut fiber pot with a drip irrigation system attached to the pot. Growing melons like this requires absolutely no soil and can be grown on many different terrains. |
 |
| 100% of the melons have fruit and their weight is controlled. This is a green melon with yellow flesh, the price at the garden is 45,000 VND/kg (wholesale). The melons are grown in a greenhouse, so insects cannot enter. After pruning the branches and leaves on the tree, they must be taken outside immediately. Every step of care is very meticulous, following the correct process to achieve successful results. |
 |
| Each plant is grown in a potting medium, isolated from the ground. At the same time, fertilization combined with drip irrigation is delivered to the roots at the required level and completely automatically. From planting to harvest is about 60-65 days. This is a delicious Japanese melon variety. |

The total output of the first crop is about 7.5 tons of melons. Currently, Mr. Hoa has contacted supermarkets to find outlets for the melons. |

| The steel frame area can support 5-6 tons of wire and fruit hanging on cables for each greenhouse area. After this melon crop, Mr. Hoa will grow chili and clean vegetables because melon is a sun-resistant plant, autumn is not suitable for melon. |
