Abstract
The effects of different fertilizer amounts on fruit development and sugar accumulation of muskmelon under organic and conventional farming systems were studied in two growing seasons.The results showed that both the production system and fertilizer amount did not change the regulation of fruit growth and sugar accumulation.The fruit fresh weight and pulp thickness of muskmelon increased as S style growth curve,and the total soluble solid(TSS) and sugar accumulated according to quadratic functions.The fruit mainly accumulated glucose and fructose before entering the mature stage and later sucrose accumulated remarkably,thus the total sugar content rose continuously.The total sugar content and TSS were positively correlated with a high correlation coefficient of r=0.884** in spring and 0.958** in autumn respectively.In spring,muskmelon grown in organic system gained remarkably higher fruit weight than that in the conventional one at the harvest time,while in autumn there was no difference between the two farming systems.Both the production system and fertilizer amount had no effects on fruit TSS and sugar content.The mature fruit weight and pulp thickness in spring were 28% and 9.0% larger than those in autumn due to larger growing degree days during the fruit development period.All this indicated that the fruit growth of muskmelon was mainly affected by growing degree days,while farming system and fertilization had no effect on fruit sugar accumulation.
