Conteúdo: | The effect of different levels of N fertilization and irrigation on the yield and quality of cantaloupes was studied for 2 years in Fresno County, California. Satisfactory yields of melons were achieved by irrigating when soil moisture tensions at the 18-inch depth reached 3.0 bars. Allowing higher tensions to develop reduced yields one year and not the other. Response to fertilization of over 30 1b N per acre depended on the prior cropping history. Yield response to both irrigation and N fertilization was mostly by increase in fruit size. Concentration of crop maturity was strongly influenced by both variebles. Management of either in such a way as to limit vine growth tended to concentrate and hasten maturity. Heavier irrigation or N fertilization increased cull fruits associated with increased vine growth and succulence. Higher soil moisture stress increased culls associated with restriction of vine growth, such as sunburn and small fruit.
