One of the most common issues faced by melon farmers is the lack of sweetness in cantaloupes. To address this, a combination of advanced breeding techniques and improved cultivation practices is essential. Breeding involves crossbreeding high-quality inbred lines to develop varieties that are naturally sweeter. In addition to breeding, there are several effective cultivation methods that can significantly enhance the sweetness of melons. Here are four key strategies:
First, increasing the use of organic fertilizers can greatly benefit melon crops. Unlike chemical fertilizers, organic options provide a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, and other essential micronutrients. However, it's crucial to fully compost the organic material before applying it. Using a goldfish starter—rich in beneficial microorganisms like filamentous bacteria, yeast, and actinomycetes—can accelerate the fermentation process, turning waste into nutrient-rich fertilizer that is easily absorbed by the plants.
Second, combining phosphorus, potassium, and boron fertilizers can help prevent issues such as thick, hollow rinds and improve overall fruit quality. These nutrients not only support better growth but also contribute to increased sweetness and higher yields.
Third, using a natural sweetener like a bio-engineered "golden sweetener" has proven to be highly effective. This product, developed using Japanese biotechnology, enhances both the color and sweetness of fruits and vegetables. It works by stimulating the plant’s natural metabolism and photosynthesis, allowing for greater sugar accumulation. It’s especially useful for crops with high aesthetic and quality demands, such as watermelons, grapes, tomatoes, and strawberries. Unlike synthetic hormones, it’s safe, non-toxic, and promotes healthier growth.
Lastly, microbial bacterial fertilizers play a vital role in improving melon sweetness. Products like golden treasure bacteria fertilizer contain beneficial microbes that release nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium gradually, supporting long-term plant health. These microbes also produce natural growth stimulants that boost plant vitality, reduce disease, and improve soil structure. When applied to crops like watermelons or grapes, they lead to stronger seedlings, increased photosynthetic activity, and ultimately, sweeter and more colorful fruits. Studies have shown that using these fertilizers can increase sweetness by 1-2% and improve fruit color by one or two levels.
