Recent advances in present agricultural technologies has led to precision in supplying required nutrients to every crop. Fertigation is such technology where the required essential nutrients are supplied in readily available form to the plants at their root base.
Important is the selection of nutrients and providing right nutrient at the right time of the plant growth syncing with various physiological phases.
Following is the total nutrient providing schedules with quantities for muskmelon

Thank You
Dear Venu gopal reddy, Fruits cracking has different problems. Irregular supply of water, variations in Soil pH and EC. The gummy stem blight disease which is one of the major disease may have also effect on fruit cracking. The gummy stem blight disease has got the symptom of branch split or stem split. The gummy stem blight has become one of the serious disease in present watermelon and muskmelon crops.
It is also evident that calcium and boron nutrient deficiencies may also lead to fruit cracking in Muskmelon fruits.
