Variety traits

Melon growing season

Cucumis melo L.

This is a varietal trait measured by the number of days from full emergence to biological maturity of the fruit. Its duration determines the choice of cultivation technology and the variety's requirements for the sum of active temperatures.

In the reference 97 varieties crop Melon, where this is mentioned in the description.

The melon growing season is counted from the moment of full emergence to fruit ripening. In breeding practice, the period from transplanting to maturity is also taken into account. According to the classification, ultra-early varieties mature in 50–60 days, early-maturing in 60–75 days, mid-maturing in 80–85 days, and late-maturing varieties can take 130–140 days.

The duration of this period directly affects the crop's requirements for the sum of active temperatures above +15°C and agronomic practices, including pinching the main stem to accelerate fruiting. Late-maturing varieties with a long development cycle usually have a denser rind and better fruit shelf life compared to early-maturing forms.
