	Watch Your Garden Grow - Muskmelon
		Muskmelon originated in India and were cultivated by settlers in the 1600's.
		Muskmelons ripen to the highest quality when the vines remain healthy throughout the harvest period, when temperatures are warm but not excessively high and when the weather is comparatively dry at the time of maturity.
		When muskmelons are ripe, the rind changes from a green to tan or yellow between the netting.

	Crop Profiles - Muskmelon
		In North Carolina, muskmelon rows are usually spaced 5 to 6 feet apart with the final stand of plants 18 to 24 inches apart in the row.
		Irrigation of muskmelons is often discontinued after early fruit set and is usually discontinued during harvest, except to the extent that enough foliage is maintained to prevent sunscald on the fruit.
		Losses in muskmelon due to weeds average 13 percent in the southern U.S. The critical weed-free period is 4 to 6 weeks after crop emergence.

		Muskmelon seeds are generally treated with a fungicide and an insecticide by either the seed company or the grower.
		Muskmelons are picked at the half-slip stage, when half of the tissue of the melon is still attached to the vine (26).
		Because muskmelon is grown in rotation with other vegetable crops, some of which are more susceptible to nematodes, sampling and chemical treatment for nematodes may occur in the same fields, but generally not during the muskmelon growing season (9).

	Chapter 6: Common Vegetables for Seed and Fruit
		The bulk of the muskmelon crop is cantaloupes, combined with a small acreage of Casabas and 'Persians', which amounted 111,800 acres in 1970.
		The isolation of muskmelon plants from pollinating insects and the caging of bees on the plants have proven that hermaphrodite flowers are incapable of performing self-pollination.
		Muskmelon flowers are self-fertile (although not self-fertilizing), but when pollen comes from a different plant, the fruit that results may be slightly heavier (Rosa 1926).

	A Summary of N and K Research with Muskmelon in Florida
		The N rate recommendation for muskmelon grown on irrigated, mineral soils (subsurface and overhead-irrigation) was 120 lb/acre N (Montelaro, 1978) and remained unchanged in 1989 for mulched or unmulched muskmelon (Kidder et al., 1989).
		Additional experimentation with muskmelon fertilization was conducted in Gainesville (1986) with overhead irrigation, in Osteen (1986) with subsurface irrigation, and in Live Oak (1988 and 1989) with drip irrigation to further document muskmelon N requirements on sandy Florida soils (Hochmuth et al., 1991).
		Muskmelon treated with 25% to 50% CR - K responded with 100% and 95% RY, respectively, compared to 69% RY where no CR - K was included in the fertilizer treatment.

	Scientia Agricola - Muskmelon seed priming in relation to seed vigor (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This study investigated the effects of muskmelon seed vigor in response to seed priming.
		Seeds of two cultivars of muskmelon Top Net SR and Mission, were artificially aged at 43°C and 100% RH for 0, 20 and 40 hours and then dried for two days under laboratory conditions (20-25°C), generating three separate lots from each cultivar.
		Priming increased germination rate of aged seeds at both temperatures and the total germination at 17°C. In general, the effects of seed priming on muskmelon seed germination have been mainly observed for sub-optimal conditions (Bradford, 1985; Bradford et al., 1988), and this was confirmed in this study.
