Conteúdo: | Eight selected cultivars of seedless watermelons, [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum and Nakai], were stored at 1 or 10 graus C for 2 weeks plus 1 week at 20 graus C. All melons were harvested at about 10 day intervals from the same field for 3 storage tests. All cultivars were susceptible to chilling injury during 1 graus C storage. Total soluble solids content was higher at 1 graus C storage than at 10 graus C storage. Decay was higher at 10 graus C storage than at 1 graus C storage, however, the percent of marketable melons was higher at 10 graus C than at 1 graus C storage. Decay was much higher for melons of harvest 3 as compared to harvests 1 and 2. The cultivars "Queen of Hearts" and "Sunrise" offer the best storage potential of those tested.
