Melon tree

Cultivars of Cucumis melo L. can be attacked by Didymella bryoniae Auersew, which can cause considerable losses, because fruits attacked by this organism do not have commercial value anymore. Mosquitoes, mainly Bemisia tabaci, also attack melon cultivars. Reductions in weight, size, and sugar content are evident consequences of mosquitoes attack. Diaphania nitidalis attacks flowers and fruits, whereas Diaphania hyalinata generally attacks the leaves of the melon tree. 

Caricacece or Papaw Family.—A family of latex-containing trees composed of two genera indigenous to tropical America. Of chief pharmaceutic interest is the species Carica Papaya, the Papaw or Melon tree, the fruit of which yields Papain, a valuable digestive ferment. This plant is a tree about 20 feet high which bears at its summit a cluster of deeply lobed petiolate leaves and dioecious flowers. The fruit is a berry, the size of one s head and contains an acrid milky juice from which papain can be precipitated by the addition of alcohol.

Plants Affected Many kinds of woody and herbaceous plants. Vegetables such as beans, cucumbers, melons, peppers, and tomatoes are particularly susceptible. Anthracnose-prone trees include dogwoods, maples, and sycamores. 

Plants Affected A wide range of woody and herbaceous plants. Common hosts include tomatoes, peas, peppers, melons, dahlias, and mimosa trees. 

Aphid midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza Over 60 species of aphids. Apply 250 cocoons in a small garden or greenhouse or use 3-5 cocoons per plant repeat in 2 weeks use 5-20 cocoons per fruit tree. Reliable except in dry, windy areas not suitable for melon aphid control. 

The anecdotal and increasingly scientifically confirmed evidence that tree/vine ripened fhiit has the best flavor quality is clearly confirmed for melons. The results demonstrate that for the melons utilized in this study (cv Makdimon) the harvest time window available to harvest fhiit of maximum quality is quite small, two to three days at most, and that the penalty for premature harvest is high because of the greatly diminished values for total sugars, total volatiles and pH, to name but a few parameters of known sensory importance. Unfortunately, fruit picked at full maturity especially the highly aromatic cultivars such as cv. Makdimon tends to have a short shelf life which inhibits their commercial acceptance. 

Agriculture and cultivated crops occupy considerable areas of irrigated and non-irrigated land. Some of the major crops are cotton, maize (com), alfalfa, wheat, barley, sorghum, rice, mulberry for silkworm culture, vegetables, melons, fruit trees, and others. The natural vegetation of Uzbekistan is a very rich source of fodder (more than 1,700 species), medicinal plants (600 species) and plants with essential oils (>650 species), saponins (>100 species), and tannins (ca. 400 species).
