“…The other treatments fell within the range between these two values. Similar findings were also reported by Matthew [6] in muskmelon, where they observed that the application of inorganic fertilizers along with organic manures increased the number of leaves per plant.…”

“…In 2019, Matthew [6] conducted a study in the African country of Nigeria to investigate the effects of sowing dates and nutrients application on the growth and yield of muskmelon. He found that the sowing dates did not significantly influence overall growth, but muskmelons planted in May exhibited a higher number of leaves per plant, increased leaf area, and longer vine length.…”

The present study aims to describe the effects of integrated nutrient management (INM) on Madhumita variety of muskmelon cultivation in terms of plant growth, fruit yield, and quality. The experiment has been carried out in the crop field located in the North Konkan region of Maharashtra, India. This case study involved seven different treatments (T1 to T7), each with varying nutrient application regimes. Certain observational data, such as vine length, number of leaves per plant, leaf length, days to 50% flowering, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit width, fruit weight, and fruit yield, were recorded for three replications over the course of the experiment. The results of statistical analysis revealed significant differences, with specific treatments demonstrating T6, which included Vermicompost at 5 tons/ha, 75% of the recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF), and 1% NOVEL prime organic liquid nutrient, consistently outperformed the other treatments groups. The findings highlight the utility of integrated nutrient management. It helps in understanding and optimizing the application of nutrients to boost crop productivity and promote sustainability.
