When selecting thin-skinned muskmelon varieties, it's important to evaluate them in three key aspects: first, examine their appearance, quality, and market demand; second, assess their yield potential, adaptability, and stress resistance; and third, consider the environmental requirements and management level needed for successful cultivation. Based on your specific facilities, crop characteristics, and farming capabilities, choose the most suitable variety and ensure proper seed mixing.
Currently, there are two main types of muskmelon varieties with good performance: conventional and hybrid varieties. Conventional types such as Hongcheng No. 10, Hongcheng No. 15, Jingxiang No. 2, Fuershi No. 15, Yongtian No. 9, Yongtian No. 11, Yongtian No. 13, Shenghong No. 3, Komite No. 3, and Aerospace Times are widely planted. These varieties are known for their sweet and crisp flesh, rich flavor, high quality, and strong market appeal. However, they tend to be less resistant to environmental stresses.
On the other hand, hybrid varieties like Fengtian (Wind and Thunder), Top Sweet No. 1, Top Sweet No. 2, Arrogant Snow No. 5, Arrogant Snow No. 6, Shed Anti-518, and King Sweet offer different advantages. Their flesh is slightly firmer, with thicker skin and good sweetness, though the flavor may not be as intense. These hybrids are more resilient, have better storage and transportation qualities, and are ideal for commercial production.
Choosing the right variety depends on your growing conditions and long-term goals. Whether you prioritize flavor or durability, there’s a muskmelon variety that can meet your needs. Always consider local climate, soil conditions, and available resources before making a final decision.
