Se establecieron correlaciones de Pearson en melón Cantaloupe producido bajo invernadero, manejado con tres tipos poda (un tallo; dos tallos; sin poda), entre la densidad siembra y las siguientes variables: edad al inicio cosecha, peso del fruto, número frutos por planta metro cuadrado; rendimiento área, firmeza pulpa porcentaje sólidos solubles totales. El cultivo se manejó fertirrigación sust...

Although intact fruits of unripe cantaloupe (Cucumis melo L.) produce very little ethylene, a massive increase in ethylene production occurred in response to excision. The evidence indicates that this wound ethylene is produced from methionine via 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid (ACC) as in ripening fruits. Excision induced an increase in both ACC synthase and the enzyme converting ACC to et...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect irrigation frequencies and substrate volumes on fruit mass, quality water use efficiency cantaloupe melon in protected environment. conducted at Federal University Rondonópolis, MT, Brazil, from February August 2021, randomized block design a 3 × 4 factorial scheme with four replicates. used plastic pots were 5, 10 15 dm3 once day,...

Melon is considered a product of high commercial value, but its post-harvest shelf life short at room temperature. As an alternative to reducing postharvest losses, osmotic dehydration arouses interest as pre-treatment for fruit drying. The present work aimed obtain the drying curves in osmotically dehydrated melons, followed by conventional A syrup was prepared using crushed crystal sugar up c...

The application of azadirachtin to foliage of cantaloupes did not significantly reduce successful pollination by commercially managed honey bees, Apis mellifera L., as measured by numbers of foraging honey bees and yield. Similar results were obtained when the synthetic insecticide imidacloprid (used as a standard by cantaloupe growers) was applied to the soil. Fruit yield and quality, as a fun...
