"IVF 117" is a hybrid muskmelon generation selected by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Characteristics: Mid-early mature skin species, fruit development period 40-43 days. The plants have strong growth potential and strong resistance. The fruit is round and yellow, with occasional fine lines. The flesh is light orange, with 3.5-4.1 cm thick flesh and 4.8-5.6 cm cavity. The meat is compact, slightly brittle and fruity. The soluble solids content of the center is about 16%, the highest is 17%, and the soluble solids at the edges are 10%-12%. The average weight of a single melon is about 1.5 kilograms, and the heaviest weight is up to 1.95 kilograms. The fruit does not fall off and the average yield per mu (1600 plants/mu) is about 3,000 kg.
Cultivation points: When the facility is erected in the spring, planting should be avoided as much as possible. The sowing date is the same as the sowing date for the local melon production. 30-35 days after nursery seedling age, 4 leaves and 1 heart stage planting, 1600-1800 strains per acre. Using single vine pruning, fruit twigs were left in the main vines from 12 to 15 to artificially pollinate, 1 vines were left in 1 vine, and the main vines were topping in the 25th to 30th quarters. Pay attention to the basic fertilizer, high quality organic fertilizer, with a suitable amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. In the fruit expansion period, sufficient water and fertilizer should be ensured, and high-quality potassium fertilizer should be applied. Stop watering 5-10 days before harvest to improve melon quality.
Suitable areas: Suitable for spring cultivation of facilities in Beijing, Shandong, Hebei, Henan, etc., as well as facilities in Northwest China such as Shaanxi, Gansu, and Inner Mongolia, or open field cultivation.
