How to Grow Musk Melon (Shamam) from Hybrid Seeds?

1. Best Time for Sowing

• Summer Crop: February to April
• Monsoon Crop: June to August
• Winter Crop (Greenhouse): October to December
  Musk melon grows best in a warm climate with temperatures between 25°C and 35°C.

2. Seed Sowing Method

✅ Soil Preparation:

• Select well-drained, sandy loam soil with a pH between 6.0 to 7.5.
• Enrich the soil with well-decomposed compost, cow dung manure, or organic fertilizers.

✅ Seed Sowing Depth & Spacing:

• Direct sowing is recommended.
• Sow the seeds at a depth of 1-1.5 cm in the soil.
• Maintain a spacing of 60-90 cm between plants and 1.5 to 2 meters between rows to allow proper vine growth.

✅ Germination Time:

• Seeds germinate within 5 to 10 days under optimal conditions.

3. Watering & Irrigation

• Musk melon plants require moderate but consistent watering.
• Use a drip irrigation system for efficient watering and avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can cause root rot.
• Reduce watering during the fruit ripening stage to enhance the sweetness and flavor of the melons.

4. Fertilizing & Nutrition

✅ Base Fertilization:

• Before sowing, apply organic compost, vermicompost, or well-rotted manure to enrich the soil.
• Use NPK 10:26:26 during initial growth for better root development.

✅ Fertilizer Application During Growth:

• After 2-3 weeks, apply NPK 19:19:19 or balanced liquid fertilizers every 15 days.
• For fruit setting and ripening, use Potassium-rich fertilizers (NPK 0:0:50 or 12:32:16) to improve fruit sweetness and size.

✅ Micronutrient Supplements:

• Spray calcium and boron fertilizers to prevent fruit cracking and enhance firmness.
• Magnesium sulfate helps boost chlorophyll production and improve fruit yield.

5. Plant Care & Maintenance

✅ Weeding & Mulching:

• Keep the area weed-free to prevent nutrient competition.
• Apply mulch (dry leaves, straw, or plastic mulch) to retain soil moisture and control weeds.

✅ Pest & Disease Control:
Musk melon plants are susceptible to aphids, whiteflies, fruit flies, and powdery mildew. Follow these practices:

• Spray neem oil (5ml per liter of water) every 10 days to prevent pests.
• Use organic pesticides like garlic spray or fermented buttermilk for natural pest control.
• Apply fungicides (copper oxychloride or sulfur-based sprays) if signs of mildew or fungal infections appear.

6. Flowering & Pollination

• Musk melon plants produce both male and female flowers.
• Pollination is essential for fruit set. If natural pollination is low, hand-pollinate flowers using a soft brush.
• Encouraging bee activity in the garden can improve fruit yield.

7. Harvesting Musk Melons

✅ Time to Harvest:

• Fruits are ready for harvest in 75-90 days after sowing.
• Signs of Maturity:
  • The fruit develops a netted skin pattern.
  • A pleasant fruity aroma is noticeable near the stem.
  • The stem near the fruit starts to dry and crack.
  • When tapped, the fruit produces a hollow sound.

✅ Yield Potential:

• A single vine can produce 4-6 high-quality melons, depending on care and growing conditions.
