Also one needs to have clear cut idea about the use of the vitamins to sfeguard the body from the infection of many kinds of infctions caused by air-borne microbes and water-borne infectious organisms. These vitamins and minerals supplied through daily intake of the food can strengthen the body cells by giving it maximum immunity towards the infection causing microbial actions. Doctors do advise people to take melon fruits as a major supplement in their daily food as they supply rich Vitamins like vitamin-C and vitamin-E. Body also needs certain essential salts that can serve as catalyst for certain metabolic activity that takes place inside the body. The body also needs sodium and potassium salts for the revival of energy when the body is put to high physical work.
Melon cultivation
Melons are cultivated in sandy soil surface. This melon fruit cultivation requires medium water supply all along the cultivation period. The scheme of events should be done under moderate supply of sunrays. These sunrays can ripen the fruits at optimum time. The root of the plant moves deep inside the ground surface. This can make root tips to reach the water level enabling optimum level of moisture to be maintained. These can faciliate proper nourishemnt to the plant. The melon fuirt plants are spaced equally in the field so as to promote clean and planned growth of plants. Once the plant is matured, it would be of more than 18 inches in diameter. The mature fruits bear lot of seeds inside them with planned sowing of seeds back into the ground, new plants can be achieved. New set of hybrdised seeds can be obtaiend through proper tissue culture methods.
Industrial melon seed filling machine
Melon seeds can be packaged with help of industrial melon seed filling machine. This can be of different varieties. The seed filling can takes place in any axis based on the requirement placed by the industries. The technical paramters that measure the performance of the melon seed filling machine are total weight of machine, pouch size and power. The melon seed can be packaged with polyethelene pouches. These pouches can be also formed with proper sealing on all 4 sides. The seeds can be filled according to the requirement of the packaging material. The program for the packaging is written on to the sychronizing microcomputer that feeds instrcutions to filling machine control. Precison stepmotors are used to provide the drive for filling unit. The melon seeds are loaded on one side of the industrila melon seeds filling machine.

Greenhouses type of plantation has gained massive support from the people all around. They need to have better growth under specified condition. Also the growth of plants can be termed healthy due to procurement of essential conditions that are for the uninterrupted growth of plants. The harmful radiations can be stopped from approaching the plants productive systems. Conducive conditions are reached at the greenhouses instituting better growth of plants.
Essentials for drip irrigation
Essentials for any type of irrigation system are water supply. The source of water can determine the type of irrigation employed. The drip irrigation involves effective management of the water through proper channel. The channeling of water can be established by rational drip irrigation design. Also the moisture level at the region beneath the soil surface to be regulated periodically with drip irrigation system
Why greenhouses require drip irrigation ?
Drip irrigations are essential in area wherein there is scarcity in water.. Greenhouses are generally associated planned agriculture carried out at the expense of quite substantial investment. The effectiveness of the greenhouse is greatly determined by the quality of the plants grown so avoid any kind of pest or weed attack to the greenhouse plants, one needs to adopt for irrigation. It eliminates the opportunity for the growth of other types of plants like weeds taking nutrients from the ground surface.
Design your own greenhouse drip irrigation
Drip irrigation can be customized based on the type of the field that is to be irrigated. The irrigation system involves the use of tubing, valves, pressure regulators and other plumbing accessories to get planned irrigation method. Pressure flow regulators to a maximum value of about 30 psi can regulate the operating pressure of tubing. The slope of field, soil features and water source can be carefully studied before validating a design. The water requirement for a particular variety of plant can determine particular type of accessory like emitter to be used.

Greenhouses are gaining sufficient importance in the recent years. People are ready to adopt new techniques of plantation that tends to involve some amount of initial investments. As in any plantation, there are opportunities for the entry of pests. One needs to know more about the common pests that attack the plants that shelter under the greenhouses. The entry of pests in the ambient atmosphere within the greenhouses can lead to several other complications related to the growth of plants.
Greenhouse Pest Control
Greenhouse pest control involves the effective management of pest control techniques for elimination of the common greenhouse pests. Several techniques adopted in control of green house pests involve the use of sprays to control spread of pests. Certain insects involve use of soap preparations to wash off the green parts of the plant. Organic chemical scan also be sprayed to nullify certain pests. Constant monitoring is required to make sufficient control measures for plants in green houses. Life cycle of certain pests is to be carefully monitored in order to plan for effective control methods. Development of the beneficial insects can be solution to tackle certain pests. The predators can be used to stop the attack of pests like aphids.
Common Greenhouse Pests
The common greenhouse pests involve aphids and scale inspects. The morphological features of the insects vary depending on the habitat that it survives. The common greenhouse pests like fungus gnats require presence of moisture around the plants, which encourages the growth and spread of fungus gnats. These tend to occupy the soil surface drying up all the organic matter present in soil. This greatly affects the growth of younger plants. Providing interrupted water supply can provide the pests inaccessible. Also the plant can be offered great defense by doing so. Sticky traps can be used to prevent the entry of some common greenhouse pests.

Despite its advantages in supplying water for plants, a drip trickle irrigation system may also be the cause of headache for some farmers. Several problems occasionally occur and interfere in water deliverance. For major problems you can consult to an irrigation specialist or the company designing and installing your drip trickle irrigation system. While for these common simpler problems you can solve and avoid on your own. Here are how.
- Make sure the whole drip trickle irrigation system is on.
- Make sure water sources are adequate. It means you have to find municipalities, wells, ponds, reservoirs, canals, ditches, streams or rivers.
- Consider to use thorough, expensive multi-stage filtration or chemical treatment of the soil surface if ever needed.
- Make sure that the pump’s suction pipe is elevated above bottom of the pond.
- Make sure the pond does not contain too much algae. If so, inhibit the algae growth with a non-phytotoxic algaecide.
- Record water meter reading well since decreased flow can stop the whole drip trickle irrigation system.
- Make sure the zone valves between secondary filter and pressure regulator are not closed.
- Read the pressure on gauges number 1 and 2. If the difference in pressure between both gauges is greater than 5lb, backwash the filters.
- Read the pressure on gauges number 3 and 4. If the difference in pressure between both gauges is greater than 5lb, clean the secondary filter. If pressure on both gauges is low, the primary sand filters may be clogged, or there may be a break in the mainline, or the pump may fail.
- Read the pressure on gauge number 4. If pressure is too high, there may be drip lines clogging. It usually rises gradually as the watering continues. If pressure is too low, the secondary filter may be clogged and must be cleaned.
- Read the pressure on number 5. If pressure is too low, there may be leak(s) in the system. If no leak is found, the pressure regulator may fail. If pressure is too high, the pressure regulator definitely fails.
- Check all row laterals once in 2 weeks. If there is an excessive deposit of materials, they should be flushed.
- Record tensiometer reading every morning, at exactly same time. Weekly maintenance is required to ensure its proper operation.

Drip irrigation system is a great way to conserve water and soil nutrients. In short, it is a great way to save the earth.
It is globally recognized that a drip irrigation system is the best way to water a garden or a farm, providing just enough (not too much, not less) water for flowers, vegetables, vines, baskets and other row crops.
Drip irrigation system for row crops is increasing throughout the globe. This method is basically applying irrigation water in precise location and amount, thus offering the potential of increased profit due to reduced water, fertilizer and cultural costs and increased revenue due to increased yield.
One of the main components of a drip irrigation system is drip tapes. Many drip tapes are now available to purchase in the market. You can find a range of tape diameters, wall thickness, emitter spacing and emitter flow rates.
Initially a tape with 16 mm diameter was the only one available. But now you can even find diameters ranging from 10 mm to 35 mm. The larger diameter tapes, the longer rows you can irrigate. It ranges from 400 m to 800 m in lengths.
Wall thicknesses generally range from 4 mile to 15 mile. As for emitter spacing generally ranges from 51 mm to 762 mm. It offers wider range in tape discharge rates as well.
Drip tape can be buried or installed on the soil surface. Installation equipment is now available, helping you install a drip irrigation system for row crops even more easily.

There are many factors that require to be viewed in the care from tomato plant :
1. Irrigating is when during plant growth fell to a long dry season (as needed). This is done carefully to not damage crops and irrigating of plants cultivated in the morning and evening.
2. Fertilising
Plant food requisite for tomato plants are:
a. Manure with a dose of 10-20 tons per hectare or 0, 5-1 kg per plant, which was given a week before planting.
b. TSP fertilizer dose of 2.5 to 3 quintals per hectare or 10-15 grams per plant, which was given a week before planting.
c. Urea fertilizer at planting time is given at a dose of 1 quintal per hectare, or 4-5 grams per plant. While urea fertilizer to supplement performed 4 weeks after the first fertilization with the same dose as the first fertilization.
d. Either way giving basic fertilizer or supplement, which is placed in a circle around the plant with a distance of 10-15 cm, conidian covered with soil.
e. Fertilization is carried out at the beginning or end of the rainy season and also adapted to local soil fertility.
3. Stitching are arranged when there are plants that die or grow less well, and tried to be a substitute crop seeds to fertile growth, and still the same age as the plants replaced.
4. Giving mulch to keep soil for keeps soil, reduce dehydration, and crush the outgrowth of grass. Mulch that is used is the remains of plants or rumpus-dry grass. How mulch is placed on the soil surface between plants.
5. Pengajiran
Pengajiran to keep off that tomato plants do not fall down and easily care. Marking directed at the 1-month-old plants or plant reaches a height of approximately 40 cm. Marker can be used as bamboo or rope.
6. Cutting down
Cutting down is intended in order to obtain large fruit and quick cooking. Trimming is done once or twice a month that is by cutting the shoots or the third branch on the main stem, or branch of the fifth on both the left branch of life. Pruning tomato plants can be done in two ways namely trimming and pruning of young shoots of the stem.
7. Pests and Diseases
The types of pests and diseases that often attack the tomato plants are:
a. Pest Control Pests Type / eradication – Collect brown caterpillar larvae of the land, and destroy or sprayed with 95 SL Dip trek or Dusban 20 EC, with a dose of 0.1%. – Spray fruit caterpillar with Diazinon 60 EC, with a dose of 0.2%.
b. Disease Type Disease Control – Disease Lanas Remove and discard infected plants – Rhizoetonia and Phytium sp. Spray with Dithane M -45 0.2%.
