Melons – An Overview

Melons are also known as muskmelons or Cucumis melo. These fruits belong to the Cucurbitaceae family and have been cherished for their taste and health benefits for a long time. 

Melons are known as the ‘Money maker crop’ in Pakistan, enjoying a strong market in urban cities that provides reasonable returns to growers. They are in demand worldwide due to their health benefits.

 Melons, called “Kharbooza” in Urdu, and are typically grown in warm weather conditions with high humidity, and the optimum temperature is around 27-29 degrees Celsius. Interestingly, they are planted in both winter and summer.

Melons are rich in vitamins A and C, minerals, fiber, and polyphenols, offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. With about 90% water content, they are low in calories (approximately 45 per NLEA serving), carbohydrates (1% daily value), and proteins (1% daily value).

Melon Cultivation at Qurban Agro’s Farms 

At Qurban Agro Farms, the cultivation of melons is a meticulous process that takes into account the specific needs of this warm-loving crop. Melons thrive in warm growing conditions and are best suited for plantation in the summer season. Due to their sensitivity to cold temperatures, we in our farms provide the ideal climate for melons to flourish.

Melons complete their entire lifecycle within a single year. The plants boast herbaceous characteristics, lacking woody parts even in their stems, which are soft, flexible, and green. Due to their unique anatomy, melon plants are classified as either “creepers” or “climbers.” 

Creepers sprawl along the ground, with vines extending outward, similar to pumpkins. Climbers, on the other hand, employ additional structures like tendrils to latch onto external support, allowing them to grow vertically.

The duration of the growing season varies based on genetic factors, with melons categorized into early, mid-season, and late varieties. 

At Qurban Agro Farms, we cultivate melons both in open fields and greenhouses, utilizing grafting techniques to enhance plant vigor and increase yields. Grafting also contributes to improving fruit attributes, such as firmness, thereby extending the shelf-life of our melons.

Following flower set and pollination, the initial stages of fruit development focus on size. In the later stages, ripening transforms the fruit, altering its composition, appearance, and texture to render it edible. Ripening is a crucial phase that imparts a softer, sweeter taste and changes the color of the fruit.

Through careful attention to each stage of growth and ripening, we ensure that our melons meet the highest standards of quality, taste, and nutritional value.
