Melon

You perhaps often underestimated melon that you ate. In fact that was dirt cheap this contained many usefulness that were extraordinary as the illness preventive. Around 95% meat melon contained water, so as to be able to give the cold feeling and the effect that calmed. Because of having the refreshing characteristics, melon could calm the hot feeling in the stomach. Melon often contained vitamin A, B and C as well as contained protein, calcium and phosphorus. The content of the mineral in melon in fact could eliminate the acidity of the body and had the characteristics cured constipation. The acidity of the body must be eliminated because would menggangu the digestion, especially to the side organ.

The content of nutrition melon was 15,00 mg calcium; 25,00 mg phosphorus; 0,5 mg the iron; 34 mg vitamin C; 640 mg I.U vitamin A; and 0,03 mg vitamins B1. Melon contained antikoagulan that was mentioned with adenosine so as to be able to stop the agglomeration of blood cells that could trigger the illness emergence stroke or the heart. In the meantime, the content karotenoid melon that was high could prevent cancer and reduced the risk of the lung cancer attack because of being the main compound the cancer aggressor. Melon had the very good diuretic power so as to be able to cure the kidney illness and the serious and acute eczema illness. If being combined with lemons, then melon could crush gout. So be good him you consumed melon a day very much routinely in the morning.

So his conclusion, the benefit melon for the health of our body was: 1. As anti-cancer. 2. Helped the disposal system by preventing constipation. 3. Reduced the risk of the heart disease attack and stroke. 4. Prevented blood clotting. 5. Reduced the risk of the kidney illness. 6. Cured the eczema illness. 7. Prevented and cured hot in.

The description
The crop melon was similar very much with the watermelon, that is in doubt many, but the stick hair was softer. The stick melon shorter than the watermelon. The seed melon was gathered in the middle in the cavity, whereas the watermelon seed spread in meat. The leaves and the stick: the leaves melon wide bercanggap (berlekuk), stuck out rather short. The stick melon had the holder's implement (twisted) to climbing. There was the kind melon that his leaves bank bergelombang and not bercanggap. The flower: the Flower melon lived one and in pairs single. The flower that emerged first as far as the five usually the male flower. The honeybee and the green fly played a role in this flower pollination. : melon generally round, although there is one that is long and often did not contain water.

The type melon a great number, including there is one that is skinned green, yellow, and white yellowish. However, basically had three types, that is that his skin encompassed (the net), his skin encompassed unclear, and had soft skin without having the sign of the net. All melon had seeds many, was gathered in the cavity that was covered mucus. This mucus was felt sweet, elastic (hard), and often did not contain water. There was the kind melon that his skin was black with greenness meat, for example tendral verde. The root: the Crop melon was not far was different from the watermelon, had the upside down root and the root samping many as well as rather in. The root samping took the form of fibre that the amount many, strong, and long.

The condition grew

The crop melon happier to grow in the middle plain that his temperature was rather cold, that is in the height of the place between 300-l.000 m. dpl. In the plain that his elevation less than 300 m. dpl, melon measuring smaller and his meat was rather dry (not juicier). The land kind andosol or the land berpasir was good for the development melon. This land had the pH 6-7. The area that bertipe the dry climate was not liked by the crop melon. This crop was intolerant against the acid land (the low pH) like to the watermelon. To the land that had a sour pH, the crop melon will grow stunted. The crop melon more was sensitive to the ground water that welled up or the condition for land aeration was not better than the watermelon crop. In the place that his air humidity was low (dry) and was protected, the crop melon was reluctant to blossom female. This crop was happier in the area was open, but the sun rays were not too intense, was enough with the illumination 70%.

The cultivation guide
The increase in the Crop crop melon was increased with the seed that was selected. This seed was produced specially by isolating the crop. His aim of preventing the occurrence of the cross-pollination with the male crop that was not desired and prevented the spread of the illness from outside the seedling cultivation garden. The prospective continuation with the water gourd (Lagenaria sp. ) also could be carried out, but in practice agribusiness melon had not been carried out. All the seeds melon that generally takes the form of the hybrid seed, in the import from Japan and Taiwan. The method produced the seed melon was the same as the watermelon, but in melon might not produce the seed that seedless (did not have seeds). This was caused by the existence of the seed in melon did not cause difficulties for the consumer because of his location gathered in the cavity. The crop cultivation: the Cultivation melon could be carried out with two methods, that is with the system hidroponik (without the land) and the land system (the field). The system hidroponik will not be discussed because of being difficult to be carried out by the normal farmer. The seed melon disemai more previously in small pots (berdiameter around 4-6 cm). The pot could be made from polibag (plastic), the bananas leaves, or the land bloc with the land comparison and manure 1: 1. Each pot was planted one seed melon. The media that was used took the form of the land mixture and manure that were sterile with the comparison 1: 1. The sterile media very important because melon really was sensitive to penyaldt the root tular the land (soil borne disease) like Rhizoctonia and Fusarium. After the seed be aged 2-3 were last week buried in the garden. The hole planted measuring 50 cm x 50 cm x 30 cm. Each hole was given manure totalling 5-10 kg. Artificial fertiliser take the form of 100 kg urea, 200 kg TSP (267 kg SP-36), and 100 kg KCl per hectare. Fertiliser was given twice in the age two weeks and four weeks after planted. The distance antarbaris planted 100 cm, whereas the distance antartanaman in the line 50 cm. It was wide that the ditch 30-4o cm so as the distance antarselokan (wide the embankment) was 160-180 cm. Each embankment contained two crop lines. The crop was given ajir strong to merambatkan the stick. Usually the crop is maintained one stick (one) or three rods (three), whereas the female flower (nipples) other was thrown away. The crop began to be blossoming in the age 30-50 days after planted. In an effort to agribusiness melon oriented commercial (the supermarket market or gave priority to the quality), was carried out like to the watermelon, that is used mulsa black plastic. This to prevent the growth of weeds/grass.
Pemeliharaan
Giving of artificial fertiliser and water the shower was done through the hole planted that was made to plastic mulsa this. Demilaan also ajir bamboo or the iron that was used raised the crop melon was transfixed in this hole. The disposal of the female flower (nipples) was carried out after is chosen of the chicken egg, usually in the two from beneath. Now other was thrown away. In agribusiness efforts melon modern, this crop was maintained in the transparent plastic house under the plastic roof was installed by the para-net. This was done to prevent the high rainfall that could damage the crop melon. Moreover, also to arrange the illumination in order to be not too intense. By this means, melon could be buried every time and did not depend the season.
The pest and Penyakit
The pest that threatened the crop melon was yellow lice (Myzus persicae). These lice attacked the leaves melon so as bald down, especially in the dry season. Yellow lice were the vector of the mosaic virus that most was feared by the farmer. Green lice (Aphis gossypii), tungau red (Tetranychus sp. ), and oteng-oteng (Epilachna sp. ) became the pest melon like to the watermelon. These pests could be overcome with the Temaron syringe 0,2%. The illness that became the obstacle to the farming melon that important was wilt (Erwinia tracheiphila) and rotten the neck of the root (Fusarium oxysporum). The two illnesses attacked when the condition for aeration in selkitar the crop was not good (the ground water welled up) .The illness mildu flour (Erysiphe cichoracearum, mildu dew (Pseudoperospora cubensis), as well as spotty (Colletrotrichum lagenarium) attacked the crop at the time of the temperature of cold and humid air. In the rain season, this leaves illness threatened serious. Therefore, was recommended planted melon at the time of by the dry season and must be treated intensive. When being not yet late, this illness could be prevented/was overcome by being sprayed by Benlate 0,2%. The illness of the mosaic virus (CMV, cucumber mozaic the virus) that attacked the watermelon crop also could attack the crop melon. The virus was difficult to be overcome. It is best to, combatted his vector that is Myzus persicae intensively with Kelthane 0,2%. The crop melon that was attacked by CMV, when him dipanen then his quality was low (ripe him was imperfect).
The harvest and Post Panen
Melon must dipanen after really old because will not be ripe when diperam. Signs was old, that is skin appeared slippery, shone, and his voice reverberated when being knocked on with the hands. Ripe (really old) in the age 80-100 days after tanam.Produksi could reach 1-2,5 kg per. The harvesting that late caused the crack so as to be able to not be sold. Gardened melon was one of the efforts in the agribusiness field, that could ditekuni and promised the profit. Melon often was have an interest taken in it and marketed through the traditional market, the shop and the supermarket. One of the locations of the orchard melon was in the Ciruas area, Serang, Banten, that was managed by Ulum. In the land measuring 5 thousand metre this was planted melon. The kind melon that was buried was golden melon that was yellow and his fruity flavour was sweet. Before being buried the land was processed at first dahulu. the next one was given fertiliser. The seed melon was received by means of penyemaian. The seed was buried in the special media afterwards after being 12 days old grew into the stick with two perfect leaves. This seed was afterwards moved to the garden with the distance planted between the line 100 centimeter and the distance between the crop 50 centimeter.In order to be of good quality, melon that still was in the tree was hung with the rope. Melon could dipanen around 3 months after the seed disemai or around 75 days after the process penyemaian. The process of the harvesting was carried out by means of cutting off the stem. Plantation efforts melon in Banten, often did not yet have an interest taken in him by the farmer, in fact the requirement melon in Banten was high enough, around 40 ton per the month, and just could be filled around 10 ton per the month.. From the grating that was done, the level of sugar melon this on the provisions that were determined the market. The level of his sugar reached 14.5 percent, on the level of minimal sugar that was maintained the shop and the supermarket of 12 percent. Gardened melon was promising efforts the profit. Results that were received on capital that dikeluarkan. the processing cost of the land and the maintenance around 3.500 rupiah per the tree, whereas the price him around 4000 rupiah per kilogram.
The content melon
The content of nutrition melon was 15,00 mg calcium; 25,00 mg phosphorus; 0,5 mg the iron; 34 mg vitamin C; 640 mg I.U vitamin A; and 0,03 mg vitamins B1.
