“…Full irrigation water treatment resulted in bigger and heavier fruits. Similar results were found by Sensoy et al, (2007), Dogan et al, (2008) and Cabello et al, (2009). Faberiro et al, (2002 stated that fruit yield and its components were highly influenced by the total volume of irrigation water.…”

“…An irrigation level reduce of 25, 50% of I 1 and non-irrigation decreased melon fruit yield by 23, 31 and 61%, respectively. Kirnak et al, (2005), Sensoy et al, (2007) and Cabello et al, (2009) found that melon crop showed a negative response to irrigation deficit. Besides, Dogan et al, (2008) determined that under semiarid climatic conditions, any reduction in irrigation amount from about 83-92% of class A pan evaporation values would result in reduced melon yield.…”

“…The cultivars consistently presented higher SSC values in Peñaflor than in Curacaví (Tables 2 and 3), which could be associated with the lower water availability and small size (Sensoy et al, 2007;Zeng et al, 2009) of the fruits that were harvested in Peñaflor. However, the relative ranking of cultivars was similar in both locations, with Fiji, Glamour, HMX0592, and Venezia having higher SSC (greater than 12% and 13% in Curacaví and Peñaflor, respectively).…”

Pre- And Postharvest Attributes of Muskmelon Cultivars for Fresh-Cut Cubes

C. Krarup, C. Jacob, and S. Contreras. 2016. Pre-and postharvest attributes of muskmelon cultivars for fresh-cut cubes. Cien. Inv. Agr. 43(1):43-51. The choice of the appropriate cultivar is a critical factor for obtaining a successful crop and for satisfying the needs of the industry and consumers. Nine commonly used or recently available varieties of cantaloupe melons (Cucumis melo L. Group Cantalupensis) were evaluated in two locations with the objective of selecting cultivars ad hoc for processing as fresh-cut cubes. Overall, the yield (30 to 45 t ha -1 ) and quality, including mainly the fruit size and soluble solids concentration (SSC), varied between locations, but the relative performance of cultivars was similar. The cultivars showed significant differences in attributes that are relevant for the industry and the consumer: color (from yellow to deep orange), SSC (from 8.7 to 14.7%), firmness (11.2 to 32.8 N), and chilling injury after refrigerated storage for 18 days at 0 ºC (from none to slight) and after 3 additional days at 20 ºC (from none to severe). Cultivars such as Diva, Fiji, and Glamour presented attributes that make them especially valuable for the fresh-cut processing industry.

“…Although, the interaction between irrigation regimes and N levels was not significant, the highest yield of melon was produced at highest seasonal irrigation water amount and N level (N4*I-full) ( Table 9). Sensoy et al (2007) showed that the highest melon yield was obtained from the treatment employing the greatest frequency and quantity of irrigation. Camoglu et al (2010) reported that while mean yield, fruit weight, fruit diameter, fruit length and flesh thickness were affected significantly with different irrigation treatments, pH and SSDM were not affected significantly in watermelon.…”

-1 as urea. The field experiment was setup employing a randomized split-plot design with three replications. N levels were assigned to the main plot and irrigation to the sub plot. Irrigation water amount applied, fruit yield and some quality parameters, yield response factor, irrigation water use efficiency, water use efficiency, water saving at different N levels and irrigation regimes were determined. Results show that irrigation regimes and N levels had significant effects on fruit yield. The best combination of treatments was N3*DI-low (T19) with a yield of 59.77 t ha -1 which corresponds to 10% yield loss providing 55% water saving. It could be applied for sustainable production, saving a significant amount of water and increasing the nitrogen use efficiency, where water is scarce.
