[PDF][PDF] Supplemental foliar potassium applications during muskmelon fruit development can improve fruit quality, ascorbic acid, and beta-carotene contents
Muskmelon [Cucumis melo L.(Reticulatus Group)] fruit sugar content is directly related to
potassium (K)-mediated phloem transport of sucrose into the fruit. However, during fruit
growth and maturation, soil fertilization alone is often inadequate (due to poor root uptake
and competitive uptake inhibition from calcium and magnesium) to satisfy the numerous K-
dependent processes, such as photosynthesis, phloem transport, and fruit growth.
Experiments were conducted during Spring 2003 and 2004 to determine if supplemental …
