“…Melon fruits are characterized by being rich in polyphenols, organic acids, lignans and other polar compounds, offering potential health benefits (Rodríguez-Pérez et al, 2013). Due to their productive and qualitative characteristics, nowadays the 'Galia' type melons are the most sought (Lima et al, 2017).…”

AGRONOMY (AGRONOMIA) ABSTRACT: 'Galia' melon is a climacteric fruit with reduced shelf life, thus the goal of this work was to evaluate the post-harvest quality of fruits stored under normal and modified atmosphere at different temperatures. Fruits from cultivar Solarnet were stored under normal atmosphere (control) and modified atmosphere at 3, 7 and 11 o C and relative humidity of 90 ± 5%. Fruit evaluations were performed at 14, 21, 28 and 35 days of storage for pulp firmness, mass loss, internal and external appearance, chilling injury, total soluble phenolics, soluble sugars and enzymes polyphenoloxidase, peroxidase and catalase. Storage at 11 o C had the lowest pulp firmness and bigger mass loss in both atmospheres. Storage at 3 o C under modified atmosphere had the best postharvest conservation, but induced chilling injury, with development of superficial brown spots. 'Galia' melons showed higher peroxidase activity under storage at 3 °C in both storage atmospheres.

“…Com relação às variáveis pós-colheita (Tabela 3), observou-se que o comprimento e a largura máxima dos frutos (17,93 e 15,33 cm, respectivamente) foram superiores aos obtidos por Simões et al (2016), 16,40 e 13,80 cm (para as variedades SF 10/00 F1 e Goldmine), apresentaram ainda superioridade de mais de 13,27% à variedade AF-682 do ensaio realizado por Batista et al (2009), e 36,50% ao híbrido 'Nectar' da cv. Gália (Lima et al, 2017). Estas características são importantes na classificação dos frutos por tipo, que corresponde à quantidade de melões por caixa padrão de 54 x 34 x 17 cm (Faria et al, 2000).…”

Resumo Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar aspectos produtivos e de qualidade de meloeiros (Cucumis melo L.) sob diferentes formas de cultivo em Petrolina/PE durante dois ciclos produtivos. Adotou-se delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados com parcelas subsubdivididas em esquema fatorial 2 x 2 x 3, sendo, dois híbridos de melão amarelo (Gladial e SF 10/00 F1) nas parcelas, dois arranjos do sistema de irrigação (uma e duas fileiras de gotejadores por fileira de plantas) nas subparcelas, e três tipos de coberturas do solo (mulchings preto e cinza e sem cobertura) nas subsubparcelas, com seis repetições. Foram avaliados, comprimento, largura e número total e comercial de frutos, produtividade, uso eficiente da água, sólidos solúveis totais, firmeza e acidez da polpa. Os maiores índices de produtividade, uso eficiente da água e número de frutos comerciais foram obtidos com o uso de mulching (independente da cor) com uma fileira de gotejadores por fileira de plantas. Para os índices pós-colheita os tratamentos não diferiram entre si.

“…The most important problems facing the horizontal expansion of cantaloupe in greenhouses or in open field are the water shortage, especially in the new reclaimed lands. Whereas, deficit irrigation had an opposite influence on production of fruits (Al-Mefleh et al 2012;de Azevedo 2016;Elvis et al 2017) and physical fruit quality expressed as weight, length, diameter average weight, and size are severely decreased (Zeng et al 2009;de Azevedo 2016 as well as on watermelon Ibrahim 2012 andElvis et al 2017). This leads the researcher to use some new trends to mitigate these negative impacts.…”

Background: Water use efficiency (WUE) is becoming a decisive factor for agricultural expansion to face water shortage. To meet the needs of high population density in Egypt, we have to use modern irrigation systems and new cultivation technologies. The current study is aiming to apply grafting technique for ameliorating the impact of deficit water on cantaloupe productivity and fruit quality. Two commercial cultivars (Ideal and Veleta) were grafted on two rootstocks (Cobalt and Strong-Tosa) and self-grafting. The seedlings were treated with three different irrigation levels: 100, 75, and 50% of Class A pan Evapotranspiration (ETc). Results: The results showed that moderate irrigation level (75% ETc) increased the early yield, fruits number, by 15.3 and 17.4%, respectively, compared to control irrigation treatment (100% ETc). No significant variation was found concerning total yield between 100 and 75% ETc, so this led to an increase in WUE of moderate irrigation level (75% ETc) by 34.3%, compared to control irrigation treatment (100% ETc). Increasing deficit levels up to 50% ETc reduced the total yield by 47.4%, but it increased the WUE by 8.8%, compared to the non-deficit irrigation level (100% ETc). Meanwhile, grafting both cultivars on Cobalt rootstock improved the fruit number, total yield, and WUE by 39.2%, 26.9%, and 24.1%, respectively when irrigated with the moderate irrigation level (75% ETc), as compared to the non-grafted plants which recorded the highest decrease when irrigated with deficit irrigation level (50% ETc). Conclusion: Finally, the combination treatments of Ideal/Strong-Tosa, Veleta/Cobalt, or Ideal/Cobalt irrigated with moderate irrigation level (75% ETc) increased the WUE by 97.3, 83.4, and 65%, respectively, compared to the control treatment (non-grafted plants of the same cv. at 100% ETc) and recorded higher flesh thickness, TSS and firmness.
