Bacteriophages, gamma irradiation, and ultraviolet light treatment are possible alternatives to sanitizing melons but have not been sufficiently evaluated for their efficacy.
Generation means analysis of plant architectural traits and fruit yield in melon.
Treatment of melon flesh with food-safe sanitizers also does not eliminate bacteria.
After receiving reports of poor whitefly control on imidacloprid-treated melons, whitefly samples were shipped to our laboratory for evaluation.
Two additional melon huts and a small, galvanised iron 'garden shed' were added later.
The cropping pattern, mainly wheat, barley, and sugar beets, had changed little over the previous decades, except that the cultivation of melons had increased considerably.
These observations point out the need to discard the entire melon when only a small area shows visual decay.
Although the aim of post-harvest washing is largely to remove soil and clean the melons, it may also contribute to contamination.
