Introduction to thin-skinned melon varieties
The Yidu melon fruit is nearly cylindrical, slightly larger at the top, with a protruding blossom end, and the rind is silvery white. The flesh is white, fine and crisp, with abundant juice and a sweet taste; refractive sugar content is 8%-13%.
The Baituwa fruit is round, with ridges on the surface, and the rind is yellowish white with a slight pale green tinge. The flesh is white and fine. Refractive sugar content is above 10%.
The Shengkaihua melon has a grayish green or iron-gray rind covered with cloud-like yellow patches, and it sets fruit early and abundantly. The flesh is green, extremely crisp, and slightly pale yellow when ripe; refractive sugar content is 8%-10%. The seeds are yellowish white and relatively small; the main and lateral vines both set fruit, and pinching is not necessary. It can be intercropped with cotton or planted after the wheat stubble.
Longtian No. 1, also called Wulougong, is early maturing and highly adaptable. The fruit is oval, the rind is white-green with a slight pale yellow tinge, the surface is smooth, and there are shallow grooves. The flesh is milky white, 1.9-2.0 cm thick, fine and crisp, with a fresh fragrance and excellent quality; refractive sugar content is about 12%. It mainly sets fruit on the secondary vines and matures 35 days after flowering.
The Jingnong No. 4 fruit is oval, the rind is yellow with white-green grooves. The flesh is white, fine and crisp, sweet in taste, and refractive sugar content is 10%-13%. Yazhou No. 2 has a growth period of about 83 days and is early maturing and high yielding. The melon is obovate, the rind is golden yellow with silvery white stripes. The flesh is white, fine, crisp and juicy, aromatic and sweet, with refractive sugar content of 12%-13%; it has wide adaptability and strong disease resistance.
Baishami is a mid-early maturing variety that matures 36 days after flowering. The fruit is tall-round, slightly larger at the blossom end, and the rind is white, tough, and resistant to storage and transport, with a slight translucent yellow sheen on the sunny side. There are shallow longitudinal grooves on the shoulder of the fruit. The flesh is white, 2-3 cm thick, crisp, sweet and fragrant, with refractive sugar content of about 12%. The seeds are white.
Thin-skinned melon plants are relatively small, with moderate growth vigor; the fruits and seeds are relatively small, and the rind is thin and crisp, prone to cracking, and not resistant to storage and transport. The refractive sugar content is on the low side. It can be cultivated in a warm and humid climate and is relatively disease resistant.
