- W3203669463 abstract "Rockmelon is gaining a lot of importance due to its high production potential as wellas its high nutritive value. The presence of insect pest in rockmelon has variousproblems, includes direct injury to the crop and acting as vector to disease, which leadsto economic losses. Use of insecticidal sprays tends to kill or repel both the pest andthe natural pollinators. Many synthetic chemicals are employed today for postharvesttreatment of fruit and vegetables throughout the world, but the fungicidal residuesoften represent a major threat to human life. The present study was conducted todetermine (1) the effect of different pollination methods on rockmelon production, (2)to assess the effect of insecticide on honeybee and (3) to evaluate the effect ofpostharvest hot water treatments in prolonging the shelf-life of differently pollinatedrockmelon. The experiments were conducted at Field 10, Faculty of Agriculture,Universiti Putra Malaysia and Laboratory B, Department of Crop Science, Faculty ofAgriculture. The rockmelon was planted in rain shelter and open shelter systems. Thefirst experiment was a 3×2 factorial (pollination methods and insecticides application)and was laid out in a nested design in three replications. The plants were pollinatedusing three different pollination methods, namely; natural, honeybee, and handpollination;and treated with and without insecticide. The second experiment involveddifferent dipping time and differently pollinated rockmelon with 2×4 factorial laid ina complete randomized design (CRD) with four replications. The experiment is carriedout on differently pollinated fruits which are (1) hand pollinated fruits and (2)honeybee pollinated fruits, hot water treatment at 55℃ was also examined in differentdipping time periods of 0 minute (control), 1 minute, 2 minute, and 3 minutes. Theresult of first experiment shows that honeybee pollination is better compared to otherpollination methods with having higher plant (192.83 cm), more male flower (58.3)and female flower (7.5), higher sex ratio (11.5), longer days of flowering (27.66), morenumber of fruit (5.6) and fruit weight (933.33 g). For insecticide and no-insecticidetreatments, the result shows the best combination is the insecticide-treated plots having a higher number of the female flower (6.55) and sex ratio (10.22) comparedwith no-insecticide.The postharvest treatment shows that hot water treatment (55℃) prolongs the shelf lifeof rockmelon fruits with 2 minutes has the lowest weight loss of 11.9%, while the 1-minute treatment has highest firmed fruit (6.33 N), brix index (8.0 °Brix), juice content(79.88 %), larger rind thickness (3.2 mm) and the best appearance (3.75). On theFusarium disease severity, the 2 minutes treatment has the least infestation of 1.0 scalecompared to control treatment. However, the regression result shows that with longerdipping time, it will lower the quality of fruit. At 3 minutes dipping time, it hasincreased the weight loss, decreases the firmness, reduction in juice and appearancecompared to 1 minute and 2-minute dipping. The observations also show that honeybee pollinated rock melon is capable of retaining the fruit quality within the threeweeks of storage than the hand-pollinated fruits." @default.
