DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Whitewashing Crenshaw and Cantaloup Melons to Reduce Solar Injury Whitewashing had no adverse effect on the soluble solids content of the melons or on any other criterion of quality. The whitewash can be removed from Cren shaws by wet-sponging and from cantaloups by washer-brushers that contact the entire melon. Whitewashing would afford a potential increase in returns from these melons of at least $100 per acre, would reduce stoop labor, and would give the consumer a better product, possibly at a lower price.
