From our crop reference

Muskmelon is a vegetable crop, grown in the zaid season. Sow it in Jan–Mar and expect to harvest in 75–95 days. It wants a pH of 6.0–7.0 (close to neutral) and 24–32°C. Plant at 150 × 60 cm, allowing 2–2.5 kg of seed per hectare. A good crop returns around 15–25 t. Watch for fruit fly, downy mildew.
