Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Full irrigation (I100) gave the highest total crop yield, 30.3 t ha-1.
- Intervention effect Full irrigation (I100) gave the highest mean number of fruits per plant, 4.9.
- Intervention effect Full irrigation (I100) gave the highest mean fruit weight, 1.508 g.
- Intervention effect Full irrigation (I100) gave the longest plant main stem, 194.6 cm.
- Intervention effect Full irrigation (I100) gave the largest total leaf area, 24.375 cm2.
- Intervention effect The I80 treatment gave the highest chlorophyll a, total chlorophyll content and chlorophyll stability index.
- Intervention effect Moderate water stress (I80) increased WUE and total soluble solids.
- Intervention effect Under I60 treatment, total yield was reduced by 35.3%, mainly due to lower fruit weight.
- Intervention effect Under I60 treatment, WUE was 45.9% greater than under I100.
- Intervention effect The I60 treatment gave the maximum total soluble solids, 9.3%.
- Recommendation The authors recommend I80 as the preferable deficit irrigation level for cantaloupe production, based on total fruit yield.
- Recommendation The authors recommend I60 where the goal is preserving water resources.
