SOIL & CLIMATE CONDITION-

Muskmelon plant flourishes well under warm climate and cannot tolerate frost. The optimum temperature for germination of the seed is 27 degree Celsius - 30 degree Celsius with an increase in temperature. Dry weather with clear sunshine during ripening ensure a high sugar content, better flavours and a high percentage of marketable fruits. High humidity increases the incidence of diseases, particularly those affecting foliage. Cool nights and warm days are ideal for the accumulation of sugar in the fruits. Lighter soil which warms up quickly in spring are usually utilized for early yield and in heavier soils, the vine growth will be more and fruit maturity will be delayed.
