The growth and development of melon plants depending on growing conditions

The article presents the results of studies of melon culture in the conditions of the Volgograd Zavolzhye. The purpose of scientific research was to determine the dependence of melon culture on the moisture content of crops for their further use in the development of the necessary agricultural practices to increase the yield of melon without reducing the quality of the fruit. Evaluation of the research resuits showed that the level of water availability of melon crops has a significant impact on the growth and development of plants. With an increase in total water consumption during the growing season by 18%, plants that are more powerful were obtained. During the formation and maturation of fruits, the length of the lashes is 17.2% more, ith of the plant by 12.5%. The positive effect of the increased level of water availability' of crops on the root system of melon plants was revealed. With the total water consumption of 2300 m3/ha, the root mass is 6.6% more than the moisture content of 1795 m3/ha...
