1 Southwest Indiana Muskmelon Trial 2013 Shubin K. Saha 1 and Larry Sutterer 2 1 Vegetable Extension Specialist, Department of Horticulture, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, Agriculture Technician, Horticulture and Landscape Architecture Department, Purdue University, Southwest Purdue Agriculture Program, Vincennes, IN, Introduction In 2012, muskmelon production accounted for $10.5 million (18.5%) of the $56.8 million fresh market vegetable industry in Indiana (USDA, 2013). That season, 2,100 acres of muskmelons were harvested, ranking Indiana fifth in the United States (USDA, 2013). Muskmelon production requires thinking and planning by commercial producers. selection continues to be an important decision in the overall production system. Often, certain varieties perform better under different climatic environments. The objective of this study was to evaluate 15 muskmelon varieties for growth, yield, and fruit quality under Midwestern U.S. conditions. Materials and Methods The experiment was established April 16, 2013, when seeds of 15 muskmelon varieties were sown in 50-cell black seedling flats (Myers Industries Lawn and Garden Group, Middlefield, OH). Jiffy-Mix Grower s Choice Plus (Jiffy Products of America, Lorain, OH) was the seedling media used. On May 14, 2013, all varieties were transplanted in the field. The experiment was a randomized complete block design with three replications. Experimental plots were 50 feet in length and 4 feet wide. Rows were spaced on 6-foot centers with 2.5-foot in-row spacing leading to 20 plants per plot. Preplant fertilizer application consisted of 350 lbs. (46-0-0), 100 lbs. (0-0-60), and 200 lbs. of pelletized lime. Raised beds were formed and covered in black plastic mulch (4 ft x 2 mil, AEP Industries, Mountain Top, PA). Simultaneously, the drip tape (12-inch emitter spacing, 24 gph/100 ft, RO-Drip, Roberts Irrigation, San Marcos, CA) was placed under the plastic to allow for irrigation during the season as needed. Plants were harvested 12 times from July 19 to August 16, and each fruit was weighed individually. Nine fruit from each variety were evaluated for internal quality including percent soluble solids, size, rind thickness, and firmness. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and main effects means were separated by Fisher s least significant difference test using SAS statistical programs (SAS Institute, Cary, NC.) Results Overall yield in 2013 was similar to the previous season, ranging from 3,630-8,809 fruits/acre compared to 3,098-7,696 fruits/acre in 2012 (Table 1) (Saha and Sutterer, 2013). Average fruit weight for 2013 ranged from lbs (Table 1). Sunny Dee had statistically greater yield at 8,809 fruits per acre compared to all other varieties evaluated (Table 1). However, soluble solid content for Sunny Dee was not exceptional (10.6%) (Table 2). Varieties that had higher yield and
2 high soluble solid content were NUN and Majus (Tables 1 and 2). UGR had greater fruit firmness compared to 10 of 15 varieties evaluated (Table 2). Firmness is important for shipping purposes, but also for the fresh-cut industry. Timing of product availability during specific market windows is important in the fresh produce industry. Often, the earlier market brings a better price. In the early harvest period, Sunny Dee had significantly greater fruit per plot (27.3 lbs/plot) compared to 13 of the 14 other varieties. In particular, Sunny Dee had greater fruit number than Aphrodite, a commonly utilized variety in the Midwestern United States (Table 3). Midseason harvest was highest for CS 156 and Sunny Dee, however, neither had the highest soluble solid content (Table 4). For late-season harvest, NUN had greater fruit per plot than all other varieties (Table 5). Additionally, it had good fruit quality characteristics including soluble solids and fruit firmness (Table 2). Acknowledgements The authors would like to extend their appreciation to the following individuals for all their help and assistance with the completion of the variety trials this year: Bill Davis, Dennis Nowaskie, Sara Hoke, and Angie Thompson.
