For maximum production, cantaloupes and muskmelons require a warm, well-drained 
soil. A sandy loam is preferable although heavier types often give good results. At least 
a medium fertility and an adequate supply of organic matter and moisture are desired. 
For proper keeping quality in handling and marketing, fruit should be picked in the 
forenoon before they are warmed by the sun. Insect and disease control are important 
factors in profitable production.
