| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to find the simplest way to fertilize melon with single application scheme to reduce fertilizer wastes while obtaining high quality fruits. Two commercial varieties of netted melon (Reticulatus Group), designated as Pot Orange and Green Net, and a variety of non-netted melon (Cantaloupensis Group), that was Kanokan, were selected as representatives to evaluate the effects of different types and doses of fertilizer on their yield and quality. The results exhibited that one-time-application of fertilizer consisted of 100 g compost, 50 g slow released fertilizer 13-13-13, 50 g slow release fertilizer 12-25-6 plus Mg, and 50 g chemical organic 3-6-9 by mixing with coconut dust as planting material since transplanting, provided premium quality melon fruits of all 3 varieties. The melon fruits at least 1.2 kg and round in shape with at least 12 Brix pulp total soluble solids were obtained. |
