Abstract:
The consumption of netted muskmelons (Cucumis melo L. Reticulatus group) has raised health concerns due to pathogenic bacteria attaching to sites on the netted rind inaccessible to sanitation. The purpose of this study was to compare 1) the enzymic and nonenzymic antioxidant capacity between representative cultivars of netted muskmelon and both green- and orange-fleshed honey dew muskmelons during storage for 17 days and 2) levels of non-nutrient phytochemicals between these genotypes in consideration of ultimately substituting netted orange-fleshed with non-netted orange-fleshed muskmelon. Netted muskmelon (`Cruiser'), green-fleshed (`Honey Brew'), and orange-fleshed (`Orange Dew') muskmelons were harvested in Texas at the beginning (21 May) and at the end (11 June) of the production season in 2004. Fruit were analyzed immediately (day 0) or stored simulating retail conditions for 7 or 14 days at 7 °C and 95% ± 2% relative humidity plus 3 days at 21 °C. Both `Orange Dew' and `Honey Brew' non-netted cultivars evinced similar and less lipid peroxidation, and hence postharvest senescence, during the 17-day storage period than the netted muskmelon `Cruiser'. In comparison with `Cruiser', `Orange Dew' generally exhibited higher concentrations of ß-carotene and phenolics and, with few exceptions, higher activities of the antioxidant enzymes ascorbate peroxidase (AsPX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), catalase (CAT), guaiacol peroxidase (POX), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Higher AsPX and SOD activities in both `Orange Dew' and `Honey Brew' appear to confer a greater resistance to lipid peroxidation in these muskmelon genotypes than to the netted `Cruiser'. `Orange Dew' also appears to be a healthier food choice not only due to its lack of a netted rind which could potentially harbour human illness-related pathogens, but also that it is superior to both `Cruiser' and `Honey Brew' in overall beta-carotene and phenolic levels.

Abstract:
Gummy stem blight caused by Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum is the most destructive disease of muskmelon cultivation. This study aimed to induce disease resistance against gummy stem blight in muskmelon by Trichoderma asperelloides PSU-P1. This study was arranged into two crops. Spore suspension at a concentration of 1 × 106 spores/mL of T. asperelloides PSU-P1 was applied to muskmelon to investigate gene expression. The expression of PR genes including chitinase (chi) and β-1,3-glucanase (glu) were determined by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and enzyme activity was assayed by the DNS method. The effects of T. asperelloides PSU-P1 on growth, yield, and postharvest quality of muskmelon fruit were measured. A spore suspension at a concentration of 1 × 106 spore/mL of T. asperelloides PSU-P1 and S. cucurbitacearum was applied to muskmelons to determine the reduction in disease severity. The results showed that the expression of chi and glu genes in T. asperelloides PSU-P1-treated muskmelon plants was 7–10-fold higher than that of the control. The enzyme activities of chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase were 0.15–0.284 and 0.343–0.681 U/mL, respectively, which were higher than those of the control (pathogen alone). Scanning electron microscopy revealed crude metabolites extracted from T. asperelloides PSU-P1-treated muskmelon plants caused wilting and lysis of S. cucurbitacearum hyphae, confirming the activity of cell-wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs). Application of T. asperelloides PSU-P1 increased fruit weight and fruit width; sweetness and fruit texture were not significantly different among treated muskmelons. Application of T. asperelloides PSU-P1 reduced the disease severity scale of gummy stem blight to 1.10 in both crops, which was significantly lower than that of the control (2.90 and 3.40, respectively). These results revealed that application of T. asperelloides PSU-P1 reduced disease severity against gummy stem blight by overexpressed PR genes and elevated enzyme activity in muskmelon plants.

Abstract:
The bacterial strain TG6 was screened from the soil of a muskmelon greenhouse, which could effectively inhibit the growth of Sphaerotheca fuliginea, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytophthora melonis and Pseudoperonospora cubensis of muskmelons. TG6 was identified as Bacillus subtilis through morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular studies. Taking TG6 as the original strain, TG67 and TG69 were obtained by He-Ne laser mutagenesis. The microbial compound antagonist strain TG67 and TG69 was prepared in the ratio of 1:1 and applied to the biological control of greenhouse melon. Muskmelon field experiments showed that the bactericide could effectively control the occurrence of various diseases of muskmelon in greenhouse. Bangladesh J. Bot. 52(4): 1047-1053, 2023 (December)

Abstract:
A study was conducted in Summer 1996 and 1997 to determine the residual effects of planting nematode-resistant vs. susceptible tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cultivars and use of white vs. black polyethylene mulch on the growth and yield of a subsequent muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) crop. Tomato cultivars were planted in early April and harvested in June and early July. Muskmelons were planted in late July on the same beds. Muskmelons, planted after the nematode-resistant tomato cultivar Celebrity, produced significantly greater marketable yield and more fruit per hectare in both years than did muskmelons planted after the nematode-susceptible tomato cultivar Heatwave. Plant dry weight of muskmelons was greater and the percentage of their galled roots was smaller when planted after nematode-resistant tomatoes than when planted after nematode-susceptible ones. Mulching tomatoes with black or white polyethylene had no significant effect on growth, yield, and root galling of subsequent muskmelon crops.

Abstract:
Abstract Responses of muskmelon (Cucumis melo L. ‘Classic’), with respect to root development, stem and leaf growth, petiole mineral concentration and yield, to trickle irrigation and planting method (direct-seeded vs. transplanted) were evaluted. Field studies were conducted on a southwestern Indiana Lyles silt loam or fine sandy loam soil during 2 successive years using black plastic mulch. Trickle irrigation decreased depth of penetration of muskmelon roots as compared with no irrigation. Trickle irrigation significantly increased the stem length and diameter, leaf area, mean fruit weight and yield, but decreased soluble solids in fruit. Direct-seeded muskmelon plants produced deep, taproots exhibiting positive geotropism, whereas transplants produced more extensive lateral, plagiotropic or geotropically insensitive roots. Direct-seeded muskmelons had significantly larger stem length and diameter, leaf area, soluble solids, and petiole Mn concentration, and lower petiole Fe and Na concentration than transplants. Significant correlations were established between various components of muskmelon growth and development.

Abstract:
The present study evaluated responses of soil enzyme activity, soil micro-organisms, muskmelon root growth and muskmelon fruit yield and quality to different levels of film covering (full, half and no plastic film covering), drip pipe density (one pipe for one row (T1), three pipes for four rows (T3/4) and one pipe for two rows (T1/2)) and different lower limits of irrigation (60%, 70% and 80% of field capacity) in a greenhouse experiment using an orthogonal experimental design. Half film mulch cover resulted in higher muskmelon root activity (second only to full film covering) during the fruit swelling growth stage and promoted soil micro-organism growth. Compared with full and no film cover conditions, under half film cover mean soil urease activity was 25.16% and 1.46% higher, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was 18.42% and 16.89% higher and catalase activity was 24.20% and 17.24% higher respectively. Compared with T1 and T3/4, under T1/2 mean soil ALP activity was 22.36% and 5.76% higher, catalase activity was 2.45% and 10.57% higher and muskmelon root activity during the fruit swelling period was 1.13- and 3.98-fold higher respectively. Irrigation at both 60% and 80% of field capacity improved muskmelon root length and area, soil micro-organism populations and soil urease, ALP and catalase activity. In addition, half film covering, irrigation at 80% field capacity and T1/2 improved the partial factor productivity for nitrogen, yield and fruit quality of muskmelons in the greenhouse. Therefore, these conditions appear to be the most appropriate agronomic configuration for muskmelon cultivation in greenhouses.

Abstract:
This experiment quantified the effects of three root rot pathogens on muskmelon (Cucumis melo L., var. cantalupensis) growth traits using computerized image analysis. Plants were grown from seed in sand infested with the soilborne pathogen Monosporascus cannonballus, Acremonium cucurbitacearum, or Rhizopycnis vagum. After 28 days in the growth chamber, images of plants were analyzed to quantify their response. Compared to noninoculated muskmelons, inoculated plants had significantly increased mean root diameter (45%), decreased root length (26%, primarily in roots of <0.5 mm diameter), decreased number of root tips (27%), decreased rhizosphere volume (40%), and decreased cumulative and mean surface area of leaves (24%). Effects of M. cannonballus on muskmelon growth were significantly different compared to A. cucurbitacearum and R. vagum. Isolate effects manifested a greater magnitude of difference on muskmelon traits than those observed at the species level. Multivariate analyses of plant responses were more powerful than univariate analyses to differentiate among effects of pathogen species and pathogen isolates. Discriminant analysis were useful to identify groups of plant traits modified by each fungal species or isolate at low disease levels. Digital image analyses proved to be a useful technique in quantitative assessment of plant damage caused by soilborne root rot pathogens.

Abstract:
In precision agriculture, the nitrogen level is significantly important for establishing phenotype, quality and yield of crops. It cannot be achieved in the future without appropriate nitrogen fertilizer application. Moreover, a convenient and real-time advance technology for nitrogen nutrition diagnosis of crops is a prerequisite for an efficient and reasonable nitrogen-fertilizer management system. With the development of research on plant phenotype and artificial intelligence technology in agriculture, deep learning has demonstrated a great potential in agriculture for recognizing nondestructive nitrogen nutrition diagnosis in plants by automation and high throughput at a low cost. To build a nitrogen nutrient-diagnosis model, muskmelons were cultivated under different nitrogen levels in a greenhouse. The digital images of canopy leaves and the environmental factors (light and temperature) during the growth period of muskmelons were tracked and analyzed. The nitrogen concentrations of the plants were measured, we successfully constructed and trained machine-learning- and deep-learning models based on the traditional backpropagation neural network (BPNN), the emerging convolution neural network (CNN), the deep convolution neural network (DCNN) and the long short-term memory (LSTM) for the nitrogen nutrition diagnosis of muskmelon. The adjusted determination coefficient (R2) and mean square error (MSE) between the predicted values and measured values of nitrogen concentration were adopted to evaluate the models’ accuracy. The values were R2 = 0.567 and MSE = 0.429 for BPNN model; R2 = 0.376 and MSE = 0.628 for CNN model; R2 = 0.686 and MSE = 0.355 for deep convolution neural network (DCNN) model; and R2 = 0.904 and MSE = 0.123 for the hybrid model DCNN–LSTM. Therefore, DCNN–LSTM shows the highest accuracy in predicting the nitrogen content of muskmelon. Our findings highlight a base for achieving a convenient, precise and intelligent diagnosis of nitrogen nutrition in muskmelon.

Abstract:
Muskmelons are currently grown in several areas of Vietnam for domestic and international consumer markets. The fruit grows well in greenhouses in soil or soilless substrate such as coconut peat. Researchers in Vietnam are investigating the growth of muskmelons in a range of organic by-products. In this study, spent mushroom substrate was recycled for use as an organic substrate and to evaluate the growth, quality, and yield of three muskmelon varieties including RZ F1, PN 128, and TL3 in greenhouses over three months. The substrate was incubated for one month before use and contained 45% spent mushroom substrate, 30% manure, 7.7% rice husks, 1.5% phosphorus, 0.2% commercial Trichoderma (Tribac), 0.1% rice bran, 15% sand, and 0.5% micronutrients and water. Following incubation, the substrate had optimal pH for the growth of muskmelon and the concentration of nutrients and beneficial microorganisms had increased significantly. The growth of RZ F1 and TL3 cultivars was significantly better than PN 128 in terms of growth, fruit quality, and yield. Specifically, RZ F1 and TL3 species took 78 days and 75 days to complete their life cycle produced 1.76 kg and 1.62 kg of fruit, had a pericarp thickness of 4.0 cm, and possessed 14.20o Brix and 14.88o Brix of soluble solid content, respectively. These findings suggest that agricultural by-products, such as spent mushroom substrate, could be a valuable resource for the culture of muskmelons in Vietnam.

Abstract:
The objective was to elucidate the influences of Laurus nobilis essential oil nanoemulsion on the quality properties of fresh-cut muskmelons (Cucumis melo L.) stored at 4 °C for 8 days. The L. nobilis oil nanoemulsion coating can inhibit changes in the browning index and titratable acidity level of muskmelon samples. The browning index in the slices treated with L. nobilis oil nanoemulsion was 0.095 ± 0.007, as compared with that of the control (0.314 ± 0.018). Meanwhile, L. nobilis oil nanoemulsion treatment maintained total phenolic content, with values ranging from 11.13 ± 0.74 mg GAE/g FW to 9.47 ± 0.75 mg GAE/g FW and inhibited the activities of related enzymes, such as polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase and antioxidant enzymes (catalase and peroxidase). Moreover, the application of L. nobilis oil nanoemulsion inhibited the proliferation of spoilage microorganisms. The population of the aerobic bacteria of the muskmelon samples subjected to L. nobilis oil nanoemulsion treatment was 5.14 ± 0.47 log CFU/g FW, whereas that of the control was 9.42 ± 0.88 log CFU/g FW after 8 days. Therefore, the tested L. nobilis oil nanoemulsion may contribute to the inhibition of surface browning and enhancement of the shelf life of fresh-cut muskmelons for eight days at refrigerator temperature.

Abstract:
Chitinase has been suggested to play a role in defense mechanisms. In this study, the activity and expression of chitinase in muskmelon seeds were investigated. Multiple chitinase isoforms were detected in muskmelon seeds from early development through radicle emergence. One acidic and three basic chitinase isoforms were detected in developing seeds at 40 days after anthesis (DAA). Both acidic and basic chitinase isoforms were detected in endosperm tissue during seed imbibition and after radicle emergence. Basic chitinase isoforms, but not acidic isoforms, were detected in embryo tissue. Basic chitinase isoforms were also detected in the embryonic axis or radicle tissue. Taken together, these observations indicate that chitinases are regulated developmentally and in a tissue-specific manner in muskmelon seeds. Therefore the potential function of chitinases in muskmelon seeds is discussed. Two complete cDNAs, Cmchi1 and Cmchi2, and a partial genomic clone of Cmchi2 have been isolated from muskmelon seeds. Cmchi2 gene has two introns in the coding region while Cmchi1 is intronless. Cmchi1 cDNA encodes a class III chitinase while Cmchi2 cDNA encodes a class II chitinase. Cmchi1 and Cmchi2 proteins might be targeted to secretory pathways because they possess signal peptides. Southern blotting suggested that there is at least one additional gene similar to Cmchi1 in the muskmelon seed genome, while there is only one copy of Cmchi2. Northern blotting analysis showed that both Cmchi1 and Cmchi2 are expressed in the radicle tissue at the time of radicle emergence. This indicates that the expression is regulated developmentally and in a tissue-specific manner. Salicylic acid (SA) and benzothiadiazole (BTH) stimulated the expression of Cmchi1 but not Cmchi2 in seeds after radicle emergence, indicating that SA might be involved in inducing the expression of Cmchi1, while a different signal might be involved in triggering the expression of Cmchi2. The protein encoded by Cmchi1cDNA was expressed in E.coli. It did not show any enzymatic activity. Western blotting using an antibody raised against the class III chitinase protein in cucumber was inconclusive, as this antibody recognized the purified Cmchi1 fusion protein and other unknown proteins isolated from the embryonic axis or the radicle tissue.

Abstract:
The stage of maturity of seeds at harvest is an important factor that determines seed vigor. Separating seeds from a seed lot composed of many different stages of development can be difficult especially after maximum dry mass is attained. Separating seeds based on their physiological maturity is more challenging than sorting seeds based on their physical properties. Seeds may be non-destructively sorted using chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) as a marker of seed maturity. This study was conducted to test whether CF could be used to remove low vigor immature seeds from muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.'Top Mark') and tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) seed lots. Light treatments were applied to determine whether the light environment during seed harvesting and processing could affect chlorophyll content and seed vigor. Seeds from nine stages of development were collected from 'TopMark'. Seeds from three stages of fruit development (red ripe, breaker, and mature green) were harvested from tomato cultivar Money Maker and two phytochrome mutants: phytochrome A mutant, fri-1 and phytochrome B mutant, tri-1. The SeedMaster Analyzer (Satake USA Inc., Houston Texas) was used to measure CF and to sort individual seeds according to CF levels. Immature tomato seeds and muskmelon, harvested from green fruits, had the highest CF (p>0.001). Contrary to the results obtained with the other tomato genotypes, the vigor of tri-1 did not change inversely with changing CF levels, rather, seeds with low CF had the same vigor as seeds with high CF. This result may suggest that the presence of phytochrome B exerts an inhibitory influence on vigor in tomato seeds, and that the persistent presence of chlorophyll during seed development does not affect vigor. The light treatments had no consistent effect on seed chlorophyll content or on vigor in either tomato or muskmelon.

Abstract:
Field experiments were undertaken to predict the yield of 'Earligold' muskmelon grown with plastic mulches, rowcovers and thermal water tubes. Mulches were either black, photoselective or clear. Rowcover systems included a clear perforated polyethylene, a polypropylene agrotextile, or unperforated polyethylenes (standard or infra-red treated) with a water-filled tube. In all tunnel types, the photoselective mulch had an intermediate effect between clear and black mulch on air and soil temperatures, chilling injury and days to flowering. Plants with a clear mulch and an infrared or standard unperforated tunnel with a thermal tube survived chilling temperatures between 1.6-5.8C for seven days, flowered first, had the heaviest biomass at anthesis and had the highest early yields. Plant dry weight from transplanting to anthesis was predicted from a multiple linear regression based on heat unit formulas using air (base temperature of 14C, maximum threshold of 40C) and soil temperatures (base temperature of 12C). The base temperature for predicting developmental time to anthesis of perfect flowers was 6.8C. In order to study fruit growth, a rapid and non-destructive method for estimating volume of ovaries was established. Fruit phenology was described as six classes for flower development and seven for fruit development. Flower abortion was studied in relation to each class. Plants displayed either one or two fruit growth cycles. The second cycle was triggered as the absolute growth rate of the first cycle fruits decreased. Developmental time of individual fruits was predicted from a heat unit formula with a base temperature of 15C when temperatures were recorded from a meteorological station. Another heat unit formula was proposed for air temperature at 7.5 cm. Fruit growth from the second cycle had a 60-degree day lag. Fruit volume proportion from blooming to maturity of first cycle fruits was described by a common Richards function. Although 65% of the plants produc

Abstract:
Le melon (Cucumis melo) est une plante de la famille des Cucurbitacées. Depuis le 17e siècle, le melon a fait l'objet d'une active sélection variétale utilisant des techniques d'hybridation. Afin d’accélérer le développement de variétés adaptés aux changements climatiques et intégrant de nouveaux caractères d’intérêt, il est important d’adapter au melon, les nouvelles méthodes de sélection et d’édition de génome. Le melon étant une espèce récalcitrante à la transformation génétique, l'élaboration d’un protocole de transformation et de régénération de plantules est une première étape vers l’utilisation des technologies d’édition des génomes. Dans la première section de cette thèse, différents facteurs affectant l'efficacité de la transformation ont été évalués. Tout d’abord, nous avons montré que la durée de co-culture optimale, entre l’explant et le milieu d’inoculation, était de 20 min. L'efficacité de transformation dans une culture d’agrobactérie à une DO600 de 0,8 était 11% supérieure à celle d’une culture de DO600 égale 0,4. Dans un second temps, d’autres facteurs tels que le papier filtre, la concentration du milieu de culture (10 mM de MES) et la température (24 °C) ont eu un effet positif sur l'efficacité de la transformation. L'utilisation de papier filtre au lieu d'agar pour solidifier le milieu de co-culture a amélioré l'efficacité de la transformation. Enfin, l’effet de l'éthylène, connu pour inhiber la transformation génétique, a été évalué par l’ajout d’AVG, AgNO₃ et KMnO₄ dans un milieu de culture de tissus végétaux. Le KMnO₄ s’est révélé être le produit le plus efficace augmentant l’efficacité de transformation de plus de 50 %. Une fois le protocole de transformation et régénération mis en place, les premières expériences de transgenèse ont montré une efficacité de transformation de 4.72 %. 90% des plantes transformées étaient diploïdes. Afin de développer des melons résistants aux potyvirus, nous avons initiés l’édition d’acides aminés cibles dans le facteur d’initiation de la traduction eIF4E. L’édition génomique ciblé a été réalisée en utilisant le système CRIPR-Cas-9 et des ARN guide désignés pour cibler certains acides aminés de eIF4E. L’analyse de 2500 explants, nous a permis d’identifié 59 lignées transformées soit une efficacité globale de 2.4 %. Après amplification et séquençage du gène eIF4E chez ces lignées, nous avons identifiés 17 lignées présentation des modifications de séquence au sein du gène eIF4E. Dans les lignées T1, neuf allèles d’eIF4E ont été identifiés. Huit allèles été prédits délétères sur la fonction de la protéine eIF4E. Ces lignées éditées seront évaluées pour leur résistance aux virus ZYMV, WMV, CMV, PRSV
Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a diploid plant of the Cucurbitaceae family. Since the 17th century, melon has been the object of an active varietal selection using hybridization techniques. In order to accelerate the development of varieties adapted to climatic changes and integrating new characteristics of interest, it is important to adapt to melon, the new methods of selection and genome edition. Melon is a recalcitrant species to genetic transformation. Thus, the development of a protocol for genetic transformation and seedling regeneration is a first step towards the use of the latest genome editing technologies. In the first section of this thesis, different factors affecting the efficiency of the transformation were evaluated. First, we showed that the optimal co-culture time between the explant and the inoculation medium was 20 minutes. The transformation efficiency in an agrobacteria culture at an optical density (OD600) of 0.8 was 11% higher than that of a culture with OD600 of 0.4. In a second step, other factors such as filter paper, concentration of culture medium (10 mM MES) and temperature (24 °C) had a positive effect on the transformation efficiency. The use of filter paper instead of agar to solidify the co-culture medium strongly improved the transformation efficiency. Finally, the effect of ethylene, known to inhibit genetic transformation, was evaluated by adding AVG, AgNO₃ and KMnO₄ to plant tissue culture medium. KMnO₄ was found to be the most effective product increasing the transformation efficiency by more than 50%.Once the transformation and regeneration protocol was set up, the first transgenesis experiments showed a transformation efficiency of 4.72%. 90% of the transformed plants were diploid. In order to develop potyvirus resistant melons, we initiated the editing of target amino acids in the translation initiation factor eIF4E. Targeted genomic editing was performed using the CRIPR-Cas-9 system and guide RNAs designed to target specific amino acids of eIF4E. The analysis of 2500 explants, allowed us to identify 59 transformed lines for an overall efficiency of 2.4 %. After amplification and sequencing of the eIF4E gene in these lines, we identified 17 lines presenting sequence modifications within the eIF4E gene. In T1 lines, nine alleles of eIF4E were identified. Eight alleles were predicted to be deleterious to eIF4E function. These edited lines will be evaluated for their resistance to ZYMV, WMV, CMV, PRSV

The main goal of this study was comparing traditional low density black polyethylene plastic mulch (25μm) with three different starch based biodegradable mulch films (15μm), on a muskmelon “Lusitano” (Cucumis melo var. inodorus). The mulch film layout and crop plantation, soil temperature and humidity, weeds, canopy spread area, flowering and yield and crop quality were monitored. The field trial was conducted in Azeitada – Almeirim (from April to July 2011) with a completely randomized experimental design with three replications, 25 plants each. The mulch films modalities were: PE (control), BMF1 (black biodegradable plastic film Mater-Bi®-CF04P); BMF2 (black biodegradable plastic film Mater-Bi®-CF04P with recycled material) and BMFV (green biodegradable plastic film Mater-Bi®-CF04P). The results showed the adaptability of biodegradable mulch films to climatic conditions and traditional techniques applied, not observing significant differences in fruit quality and production. Regarding the soil water content the BMF1 showed higher values when compared with BMFV, as well as BMFV compared with PE. The soil temperatures were similar in all the modalities and PE and BMFV had precocious flowering and production. A positive correlation between initial growth (36DAT) and the soil growing degree-days (temperature 10ºC) accumulated was obtained, and also between initial growth and final yield.

Objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos de formas de aplicaÃÃo e doses de inseticidas sobre o controle quÃmico do pulgÃo e sobre as caracterÃsticas produtivas e qualitativas do meloeiro amarelo hÃbrido âMandacaruâ. Dois experimentos foram conduzidos na Ãrea experimental da EstaÃÃo MeteorolÃgica da Universidade Federal do Cearà (3 44â S, 38 33â W e 19,5 m). O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos ao acaso, em arranjo fatorial 2 x 4, com oito tratamentos, quatro repetiÃÃes e parcelas de quatro plantas Ãteis. Os tratamentos consistiram em duas formas de aplicaÃÃo (pulverizaÃÃo costal e insetigaÃÃo) associadas a quatro doses (0, 50, 100 e 200 % da recomendada pelo fabricante) dos inseticidas acefato e tiametoxam. O primeiro experimento caracterizou-se pela concentraÃÃo constante da calda agrotÃxica (volume proporcional à dose) e, o segundo, pela concentraÃÃo crescente (volume fixo). O controle quÃmico do pulgÃo foi avaliado pela variÃvel entomolÃgica: eficiÃncia de controle (EF). As caracterÃsticas produtivas e qualitativas do meloeiro foram investigadas atravÃs das variÃveis frutÃferas: massa fresca (MF), diÃmetros polar (DP) e equatorial (DE), nÃmero de frutos por planta (NF), produtividade comercial (PC), espessuras da casca (EC) e da polpa (EP), sÃlidos solÃveis (SS) e firmeza da polpa (FP). Foram realizadas a anÃlise residual de agrotÃxicos e a anÃlise econÃmica simplificada. A insetigaÃÃo nÃo diferiu estatisticamente da pulverizaÃÃo. O acefato afetou significativamente a EF, sendo, no primeiro experimento, o seu valor mÃximo estimado (EF= 98,97 %) com 139,64 % e, no segundo (EF= 99,93 %), com 138,33 % da dose recomendada. O tiametoxam nÃo afetou estatisticamente a EF, pois propiciou o controle total do inseto (100 %) em todos os tratamentos. Os melhores resultados das variÃveis NF, PC e SS, do primeiro experimento, e NF e PC, do segundo, foram alcanÃados com 100 e 200 % da dose recomendada. A anÃlise residual revelou ausÃncia de agrotÃxicos nos frutos. As maiores lucratividades foram alcanÃadas com 100 e 200 % da dose recomendada.
The research purpose was to evaluate the effects of application methods and agrotoxic doses undermelon aphid chemical control. Two experiments were conducted at Fortaleza, CearÃ, Brazil (3Â 44' S, 38Â 33' W and 19.5 m). The experimental design was randomized blocks in factorial 2x4, with eight treatments, four replicates and plots of four useful plants. The treatments comprehend ed two application forms (manual knapsack sprayer and insetigation) and four doses (0, 50, 100 and 200 % of manufacturerâs recommended dose) of the acephate and thiametoxan insecticides. The first experiment was made with agrotoxic fixed concentration whereas the second one was made with an increasing concentration. The assessment was made for the variables: control efficiency (EF), fresh mass (MF), polar diameter (DP) and equatorial (DE), fruits per plant number (NF), business productivity (PC), thickness of the shell (EC) and pulp (EP), soluble solids (SS) and firmness pulp (FP). After assessment, residual agrotoxics and simplified economics assays were made. The insetigation were similar to manual knapsack sprayer. In the first experiment, the greatest efficiency value (98.97%) was estimated with 13 9.64% acephate dose. In the second experiment, the greatest efficiency value (99.93 %) was estimated with 138.33 % acephate dose. The thiametoxan didnât influence the EF (100 % for all treatments). The best results on the first (NF, PC and SS) and second (NF and PC) experiments were provided with 100 and 200 % recommended dose for each agrotoxic. The fruits didnât have agrotoxic residues. The best profit was achieved with 100 and 200 % of the recommended dose.
