[Agriculture, Fisheries, and Livestock News=Reporter Kim Jin-oh] NH Nongwoo Bio recommended two new varieties of melons resistant to powdery mildew and a watermelon variety suitable for low-temperature cultivation on the 25th of last month as September approached. First, they introduced the "New World Honey Melon" and "Synergy Honey Melon," which are highly resistant to powdery mildew, the most common disease in melon cultivation. Powdery mildew can inhibit photosynthesis and increase respiration and transpiration, thereby suppressing growth and reducing yield by 20% to 40%. However, these two varieties are highly resistant to powdery mildew, ensuring stable cultivation and consistent fruit shape, which is expected to increase farmers' income, according to Nongwoo Bio. The New World Honey Melon has relatively strong early growth.
