Historical Perspective Muskmelons, often called cantaloupes in the United States, are not commonly grown here. True cantaloupes have deeply grooved fruit with a hard, warty, or scaly rind and orange or green flesh. Muskmelons (Cucumis melo L. Reticulatus Group), on the other hand, possess a fruit rind that is netted. The muskmelon is a member of the Cucurbitaceae (cucumber) family, which also i...

Galia-type muskmelons are the leading melon for consumer choice in Europe. The melon generally sells for U.S. $2 to $4 each and although Galia is currently found in some United States markets, it does not always possess the high quality consistent with that found in European markets. Achieving constant, high quality production has not been possible under normal field production in Florida, but ...

Investigation was undertaken to screen out the extract of botanicals viz., Neem leaf, Tumba fruit, NSKE and Aak leaf inorganic salts against Fusarium wilt muskmelon. This disease caused by acuminatum is a major fungal causing serious losses muskmelon growing areas in Rajasthan. The field trials were carried on susceptible variety ‘RM-50’ during summer season 2019 2020 at this Institute. Among 1...

The development of a soilless crop culture system based upon the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) was studied. The conventional polythene gullies used for the NFT in temperate regions were found not ~uitablefor .the ho! tropical -climate. An insulated NFT shallow trough desz~n was effective in controllzng heat buzld up In the root zone. Muskmelon, vegetables and ornamental plants were successfully...

The continuous cropping can restrict the large scale and intensive cultivation of muskmelon, use Trichoderma preparation to alleviate negative effects is an effective mean. Although impact on rhizosphere soil microbial communities metabolites after applying are still unclear. In this study, we applied fermentation broth viride T23 muskmelon under cropping, collected samples at 60 days transplan...

high groundwater salinity, a high water table and secondary soil salinization are dominant conditions in eastern isfahan province, iran. this region has a low annual rainfall, high annual evaporation demand, saline soils and limited fresh water supplies. to investigate the effects of irrigation deficit and salinity on cantaloupe (cucumis melo l. var. cantalupensis) production, a field experimen...

The autotoxins of muskmelon are one the most important reasons for continuous cropping obstacle muskmelon, which main components phenolic acids. Phenolic acids can inhibit growth and development plants. purpose this study was to screen strains that degrade in soil. Using as sole carbon source, were isolated screened by dilution plate method, could efficiently various abilities measured HPLC, ef...

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is important in plant responses to environmental stresses. We wished to clarify the role of GABA in maintenance of photosynthesis in muskmelon seedlings (Cucumis melo L., cv. Yipintianxia) during saline-alkaline stress. To this end, we assessed the effect of GABA on the structure and function of the photosynthetic apparatus in muskmelon seedlings grown under salin...

The consumption of netted muskmelons (Cucunt.is izzelo L. Reticulatus group) has raised health concerns due to pathogenic bacteria attaching to sites on the netted rind inaccessible to sanitation. The purpose of this study was to compare I) the enzymic and nonenzymic antioxidant capacity between representative cultivars of netted muskmelon and both greenand orange-fleshed honey dew muskmelons d...
