| dc.description.abstract | This paper outlines a method for producing early season cantaloupes that has been used commercially in the desert southwest since the early 1900s. Yuma beds are sloped, south-facing, raised beds that capture solar radiation and heat the soil more effectively than traditional flat beds. The added heat increases germination vigor and provides frost protection for melons started in the cold months of late winter. | |
