The experiment was conducted experimentally using non-factorial Randomized Design (RAL) with 5 (five) treatment levels without Bioto Grow Gold, Bioto Grow Gold 1 ml liter-1 water, Bioto Grow Gold 2 ml liter -1 water, giving Bioto Grow Gold 3 ml liter-1 water and giving Bioto Grow Gold 4 ml liter-1 water. The data analysis used variance and continued with a different test of Duncan treatment average at p 0.05. The results showed that BGG treatment had the significant effect on leaf length, leaf width, stem diameter, flowering age, fruit circumference, fruit weight, a thickness of flesh and sugar content of melon fruit. The best treatment is giving Bioto Grow Gold 3 ml liter-1 water.

AbstractMelon (Cucumis melo L.) is an important and valuable vegetable crop that nowadays has a 550ha cultivation area in Hungary. The use of grafting for cucurbits is a growing technique of interest to the food industry. Nevertheless, for melons the practice of grafting is not widespread, in contrast grafted seedlings are widely used by the watermelon growers. On the other hand, it should be mentioned that the food quality attributes can change, due to the grafting. Globally there are not many scientific articles available in this topic. The goal of our study is to provide a systematic review of literature with emphasis on the influence of grafting on melon fruit quality variations and the major advantages of this technique. Over the last few years, the near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and electronic tongue method became popular to measure food attributes.

The CO2 and C2H4 conc in the internal cavity of three melon (Cucumis melo L., var. reticulatus and inodorus Naud.) cultivars was periodically measured in fruit attached to the vine and in fruit harvested 30 days after pollination (DAP). Gas samples were withdrawn through sterile serum stopper sampling ports aseptically installed near the equator of each fruit at ca. 20 DAP. Sampling continued until either 60 DAP or until fruit abscised. Internal CO2 and C2H4 conc increased in harvested fruit as they ripened (i.e., increased percent soluble solids, decreased flesh firmness, characteristic external color change). Fruit allowed to ripen on the vine also exhibited a rise in C2H4, but lacked a ripening associated climacteric rise in respiration, CO2 conc in attached fruit remained constant or declined as the C2H4, conc increased around 40-fold and the fruit ripened. The increase in CO2 conc, so commonly observed in ripening climacteric fruit, was observed in harvested melons, but not in fruit ripening on the vine. In melons, the respiratory climacteric may be an artifact of harvest. Implications of these observations will be discussed.

The relationships between the size and the number of cells and sugar accumulation in melon fruit have been examined. Maleic hydrazide (MH) was used to investigate the relationships. Although cell size was markedly larger in MH-treated fruit than in untreated fruit in the early stages of fruit development, the number of cells in MH-treated fruit was less than in untreated fruit in latter fruit development. Sucrose, glucose, and fructose content were higher in MH-treated fruit than in untreated fruit. It is therefore suggested that sucrose accumulation in fruit subjected to MH treatment is accelerated as a result of early cell enlargement and that sucrose content increases further as a result of the decrease in the number of cells in the fruit during late development.

[FRUIT PERFORMANCE OF 26 GENOTYPES OF MELON (Cucumis melo L.) IN WICK HYDROPONIC CULTIVATION SYSTEMS]. Fruit performance is determining quality factor for melon fruit. This research aimed to obtain the melon genotype which has the best fruit quality by the cultivation of the wick hydroponic system. The research was conducted from June to September 2020 in the greenhouse of the Agronomy Laboratory, Bengkulu University. The study was compiled with a single-factor of the melon genotypes using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with two replications. The genotypes were G23, G27, G28, G29, G38, G39, G40, G41, G42, G43, G45, G46, G47, G48, G49, G52, G53, G55, G57, G58, G60, G62, G63, G64, G65, and G66. The best genotypes for fruit length characters were G28 and G42. The best genotypes for fruit diameter character were G52, G58, G60, G64, and G66. The best genotype for fruit thickness character was G43. The best genotype for total dissolved solids character was G45. The best genotypes for fruit weight characters were G58, G66, and G60.
