Melon
An elongated, Italian variety with sweet, red flesh and a light green rind with dark stripes.
Smooth, powdery texture, holds water better than sandy soil but drains slower, fertile.
Mildly alkaline, may reduce the availability of some nutrients.
Rich organic content, typical of fertile, healthy soils with good plant growth.
Mild salinity, some sensitive crops may start showing signs of stress.
Impact: Sensitive plants like beans and carrots may experience reduced growth; tolerant plants generally unaffected.
