About -

Sweeten your garden with Richgrow Seeds Hara Madhu Musk Melon Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Cucumis melo), ideal for home gardeners and farmers craving juicy, flavorful harvests at an unbeatable price! Developed in 1967 by Punjab Agricultural University from a Haryana landrace, the Hara Madhu produces large, round fruits, weighing 1–1.5 kg, with a light yellow skin featuring faint green stripes and a thick, green, succulent flesh delivering a sweet, musky flavor (13% TSS), perfect for fresh eating, smoothies, or desserts, ready to harvest in 90–110 days. Packed with vitamins A, C, beta-carotene, and 90% water, these melons promote hydration, immunity, and heart health, as highlighted in prior muskmelon discussions (April 14, 2025). The robust, trailing vines, sprawling 3–4 meters, are resistant to pests like fruit flies and diseases such as powdery mildew, thriving in warm climates, with optimal sowing in spring to early summer (February–March) across Pan-India, especially in Punjab, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh, as noted in sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 1.5 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sand, pH 6.0–7.0) under full sun (6–8 hours daily), spacing 60 cm apart in rows 1.5–2.5 meters wide; treat seeds with Carbendazim (2g/kg) for disease prevention, achieving 85% germination within 7–14 days at 27–30°C. Keep soil moist with regular watering (1–2 liters per plant daily), reduce watering near maturity, and fertilize with organic compost or vermicompost every 2–3 weeks; use neem oil for pests like aphids and trellises for vine support. Harvest when fruits turn yellow and slip easily from the vine, offering a shorter shelf life but exceptional taste, and store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (10–15 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white). Seed quantity may vary by variety. Note: Harvest at half-slip stage for transport; enjoy fresh for peak sweetness.
