0. Executive Summary
Judgment axis | detail |
| Item Identity | The representative scientific name of the melon is Cucumis melo L., and it is managed as an accepted species on Kew Plants of the World Online. ( Plants of the World Online ) |
| classification | Cucurbitaceae → Cucumis → Cucumis melo. Kew manages the genus Cucumis as an independent accepted genus. ( Plants of the World Online ) |
| Growth type | Kew describes C. melo as a scrambling annual, that is, a climbing annual plant. ( Plants of the World Online ) |
| Edible parts | The flesh of the mature fruit is the core edible part, and the peel, placenta, and seeds are managed separately for each product. |
| Harvesting principle | Harvesting is not based solely on fruit enlargement, but is determined by pollination and fruit setting dates, days to maturity by variety, skin color, netting completeness, sugar content, aroma, flesh firmness, and storage and ripening purposes. |
| Cultivation temperature | The Rural Development Administration suggests optimal temperatures for germination (28–30°C), seedling growth (18–25°C), flowering (20–25°C), plant growth (20–30°C), fruit enlargement (20–25°C), and storage (0–4°C). ( Nongsaroo ) |
| soil | The Rural Development Administration suggests well-drained and aerated soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8 as suitable cultivation sites. ( Nongsaroo ) |
| Light and humidity | The Rural Development Administration explains that melons require sufficient light, that heavy rain increases disease incidence, and that high humidity can lower sugar content. ( Nongsaroo ) |
| Product Core | Net melon, non-net melon, green flesh, red flesh, white flesh, large fruit, small fruit, high sugar content, fresh-cut, etc. are classified as Products. |
| Net management | For netted melons, the density, uniformity, and protrusion of the net formed during the peel cracking and corking process after fruit set and enlargement are managed as a separate Quality Dataset. |
| Internal quality | Manage Brix, flesh color, flesh hardness, aroma, placenta and seed condition, and whether there is a cavity, waterlogging, or overripe. |
| Statistical principles | For the latest melon cultivation area, yield per 10a, and total production, check the KOSIS Crop Production Survey and Greenhouse Vegetable Statistics Raw Tables, and then enter the base year and unit. Do not arbitrarily enter figures that have not been verified. |
| Food Safety Classification | According to the pesticide standard setting principles of Food Safety Korea, melons are classified as cucurbit fruits and vegetables, along with cucumbers, pumpkins, Korean melons, and watermelons. ( Food Safety Korea ) |
| Pesticide standards | If individual or group residue tolerance standards exist, the individual standards take precedence; for pesticides without separate standards, the principle of 0.01 mg/kg or less applies. ( Food Safety Korea ) |
| AX Core | Connect Variety–Greenhouse–Flower–Pollination–Fruit–Net–Brix–Maturity–Harvest–Pack Lot–Buyer RFQ. |
| Final goal | Connects farms – seedling/grafting – greenhouse cultivation – sorting/non-destructive sugar content – distribution/food service/hotels – fresh-cut/desserts – export buyers’ RFQs with repurchases. |

| Basic use | Raw Food, Gifts, Desserts, Hotel & Buffet, Catering, Fresh-cut, Beverages, Bakery & Desserts, HMR, PB |
| Difference from cucumber | No. 063 Cucumbers are centered on the immature fruit of C. sativus, while melons are centered on the mature fruit, sweetness, aroma, and ripeness of C. melo. |
| Relationship with Korean melons | The following No. 068 Korean melon also belongs to the Cucumis melo lineage, so it is managed as a separate Product Entity within the same Species, and the roles of variety group, fruit shape, color, harvest, and market are separated. |
