Abstract
SummaryDrip irrigation experiments were carried out under conditions of mulching and plastic tunnels to test the responses of muskmelon and watermelon plants to irrigation during different growth stages. Neither crop was affected by irrigation applied during the stages of vegetative growth, flowering or fruit set. However, irrigation in the fruit development stage, which continues for about a month with watermelon and 1 ½ months with muskmelon, resulted in increases in yield averaging 48% and 45% respectively. Irrigation during fruit development did not affect fruit quality.
