Cucumis Melo L

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a fruit commodity that gets a great interest to be developed in Indonesia and has a high nutritional value. However, the fungal infection and pathogens in melon cultivation are considered significant problems that are difficult to manage. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve the productivity and quality of melon and prevent pest and disease attacks. One mineral nutrient that is assumed to enhance plant resistance and increase the quality and production of melon is silica. The purpose of the research was to evaluate silica absorption from foliar-applied silicon nanoparticles in melon under soilless culture and improve melon fruit's growth and quality by applying silica fertilizer. The experimental design used was a split-plot randomized complete block design 3 x 2 factorial pattern with four replicates. The main plot factor is silica fertilizer (Novelgro, water-soluble), consisting of three silica concentrations of 0.67; 1.33 ppm, and control. The spray volume of each treatment was 160 ml per plant with seven days' intervals and a frequency of three times. The subplot factor is melon varieties consisting of “Alisha” and “Glamour”. The findings showed that silica fertilizer significantly increased the plant height, stem diameter, internode length, total number of hermaphrodite flowers, number of hermaphrodite flowers that are swelling, while decreased the fruit moisture content and gave the best average fruit position. Instead, The “Glamour” variety gave the best response to plant growth and fruit quality. Moreover, the melon plant could absorb silica in the low category (<1% Si). The highest silica contents were found in the “Alisha” cultivar leaves and the “Glamour” cultivar's rinds treated with the silica concentration of 1.33 ppm as much as 0.34% and 0.30%, respectively.

Adotou-se o delineamento experimental em blocos ao acaso no esquema fatorial 3x2x2 com quatro repetições. Dos resultados obtidos, concluiu-se que mesmo sob estresse, a produção de melão irrigado com águas nos níveis salinos de 1,1 dS.m-1 até 2,5 dS.m-1, consegue-se produções economicamente viáveis em relação ao irrigado com as águas de 4,5 dS.m-1. A cultivar Orange Flesh mostrou ser mais sensível aos efeitos dos sais que a Trusty em todos os parâmetros avaliados, demonstrando ser esta última medianamente tolerante aos efeitos deletéricos, reduzindo sua produtividade apenas no nível salino 4,5 dS.m-1, em conformidade com a literatura.  UNITERMOS: Cucumis melo L., salinidade, produção, freqüência  BARROS, A.

MELON PRODUCTIVE BEHAVIOR IN RELATION TO WATER SALINITY AND IRRIGATION FREQUENCY  2 ABSTRACT  This work has studied the effect of different water salinity levels in terms of electrical conductivity (CE = 1.1; 2.5 and 4.5 dS.m-1) and two irrigation frequencies (1 and 2 days) on HoneyDew (Orange Flesh) and cantaloupe (Trusty) melon production, in loam sand soils in São João Ltda farm, municipal district of Mossoró-RN. The experiment was a 3x2x2 factorial randomized block design with four replications. The results allowed to conclude that even under stress, irrigated melon production at 1.1 dS.m-1 up to 2.5 dS.m-1 saline level water , make production economically feasible in relation to the one at 4.5 dS.m-1 saline level water. Orange Flesh seemed to be more sensitive to the salt effects than the Trusty cultivar in all appraised parameters. Trusty cultivar has shown to be reasonably tolerant to the deleterious effects, decreasing its  productivity only at  4.5 dS.m-1 saline level , which is according to the literature.  KEY-WORDS: Cucumis melo L., salinity, production, frequency

Three experiments were performed to characterize the physiological responses of an Eastern United States shipper muskmelon (Cucumis melo L. var. reticulatus ‘Athena’) harvested preripe (¼ slip) and during ripening (half-slip, full-slip) to 1 μL·L−1 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), a potent ethylene antagonist effective at significantly extending the time required for climacteric fruit to complete ripening. In the first experiment, preripe fruit were treated with 1-MCP (18 hour, 20 °C) before storage at 15 °C. Softening of preripe ‘Athena’ was significantly suppressed in response to 1-MCP, with firmness of control and 1-MCP–treated fruit declining ≈50% and ≈36% through 12 and 18 days of storage at 15 °C, respectively. By 21 days of storage, firmness of 1-MCP–treated remained near 70 N, minimally within the upper range of whole-fruit firmness values considered acceptable for consumption (50–75 N). Fruit treated with 1-MCP exhibited significantly lower ethylene production, respiratory rates, and electrolyte leakage throughout storage. In a second experiment, muskmelon were treated with 1-MCP (18 hours, 20 °C) at progressively advanced stages of ripening (half- and full-slip stages). Softening was significantly suppressed in half-slip fruit, declining ≈64% and ≈23% in control and 1-MCP–treated fruit, respectively, during 16 days of storage at 15 °C. Advanced-ripening, full-slip fruit were similarly affected, softening ≈60% and ≈25% in control and 1-MCP–treated fruit, respectively, during 10 days at 15 °C. In a third experiment designed to simulate possible commercial handling protocols, full-slip muskmelon were treated with 1-MCP (24 hours, 10 °C) and held at 10 °C for 5 days before transfer to 20 °C. Mesocarp firmness of 1-MCP and control fruit within 2 days of transfer to 20 °C had decreased ≈40% and ≈54%, respectively, compared with values at the start of the experiment. After an additional 2 days at 20 °C, the mesocarp tissue of the respective treatments had softened 42% and 70%. Fruit treated with the ethylene antagonist showed significantly delayed incidence of surface decay and sunken regions compared with control fruit.

Objetivou-se determinar por meio do estudo da marcha de absorção, as quantidades acumuladas e a partição de macro e micronutrientes em meloeiro amarelo Goldex fertirrigado em comparação ao fornecimento pelo solo e pela fertilização. O experimento teve delineamento de blocos casualizados com nove tratamentos e quatro repetições. Cada bloco tinha área de 2,0 m x 27,0 m, onde foram alocadas as parcelas experimentais, contendo 20 plantas. Foram coletadas amostras de solo e plantas em intervalos de 7 dias, iniciando-se aos sete dias após o transplantio (DAT) até os 63 DAT. Em cada período foram estimados os acúmulos de macro e micronutrientes em diversas partes das plantas, assim como as respectivas quantidades fornecidas pelo solo. O acúmulo total de nutrientes pela parte aérea do meloeiro seguiu a sequência: K>Ca>N>S>P>Mg>Fe>Mn>Zn>B>Cu. Para os macronutrientes, ocorreram picos de acumulação  aos 28 DAT para N e Mg, aos 35 DAT para K e Ca e aos 49 DAT para N, P, K e Mg. Os micronutrientes tiveram picos de acumulação aos 35 DAT para Fe e Mn e aos 42 DAT para Cu e Zn. Há necessidade de melhorar a sincronia das taxas de aplicação via fertirrigação com as taxas de acumulação da cultura, para maioria dos nutrientes no meloeiro amarelo na mesorregião de Mossoró (RN). Palavras-chave: Cucumis melo L., eficiência nutricional, acumulação de nutrientes  OLIVEIRA, F.S.; OLIVEIRA,F.S.; ARAUJO, J.L.; ROCHA, R.C.; ROCHA, G.H.CPARTITION AND NUTRIENT ACCUMULATION IN YELLOW MELON UNDER FERTIGATION CONDITIONS IN SEMIARID REGION  2 ABSTRACT Optimizing the use of fertilizers depends on information about amounts of nutrients required in the different phenological phases of the crops. The objective of this work was to determine through the study of the accumulation march, the partitioning of macro and micronutrients in yellow Goldex melon (Cucumis melo L.) under fertigation in relation to the soil and fertilization supply. The experiment had a randomized block design with nine treatments and four replications. Each block consisted of an area of 2.0 m x 27.0 m where nine experimental plots containing 20 plants were allocated. Soil and plants samples were collected in seven-day intervals, starting 7 days after transplanting (DAT) up to 63 DAT. In each period, the accumulation of macro and micronutrients in different plant parts and soil supply were estimated. The total accumulation of nutrients in melon shoots followed the sequence: K>Ca>N>S>P>Mg>Fe> Mn> Zn> B> Cu. For macronutrients, accumulation peaks occurred at 28 DAT for N and Mg, at 35 DAT for K and Ca and 49 DAT for N, P, K and Mg. For micronutrients, accumulation peaks occurred at 35 DAT for Fe and Mn and at 42 DAT for Cu and Zn. There is a need to improve synchronism of application by fertigation with accumulation rates for the culture, for most of the studied nutrients. Keywords: Cucumis melo L. nutritional efficiency, nutrient accumulation
