PROLONGING THE SHELF LIFE OF FRESH-CUT MELONS BY HIGH SALT AND CALCIUM IRRIGATION DURING PLANT GROWTH AND FRUIT DEVELOPMENT
Irrigation of muskmelon plants with saline water and application of calcium during fruit development improved the quality of 14-day refrigerated fresh-cut fruit.
The effects of salinity and calcium were additive.
Quality improvement related to an increase in fruit dry weight content.
