Jivit JS 111 F1 Hybrid Muskmelon Seeds, Popular Creamish Netted Color Variety.

Description

Muskmelon provides almost all the fat- and water-soluble vitamins except vitamin D and E. Content of ascorbic acid is more than 40 mg/100 g of fresh weight. Additionally, muskmelon also contains vitamins B1, B3, and B6, which makes it a special fruit compared to others. Muskmelon and other melon fruits are also rich in folate which is also known as vitamin B9. It is a very important vitamin that is essential for maintaining good health. Muskmelon plants flourish well in a warm climate and cannot tolerate frost. The optimum temperature for germination of the seed is 27-30°C. Dry weather with clear sunshine during ripening ensures a high sugar content, better flavor, 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 sugars in the fruits.
