Transplanting Raises Early Yields For Muskmelons At ISU Meeting
At the 68th annual meeting of the American Society for Horticultural Science in Manhattan Kansas LeRon Robbins and Lewis Peterson reported that transplanting two to three week old muskmelon seedlings can raise early yields by up to five times compared with direct seeding. Mulching with clear black polyethylene and aluminum foil extended harvest timing and increased total yield by about 10 percent for both methods while mulch choice had little effect. Early yields command higher prices, motivating growers to adopt transplanting.
