Descriptions
It is a warm-season crop mainly grown in tropical and subtropical regions. Generally, a long period of warm, preferably dry weather with abundant sunshine is required. It is susceptible to frost. Excess humidity will promote the attack of diseases and insect pests. For good quality and sweetness, dry weather during the fruit development is necessary. It requires a tropical climate and fairly high temperature (35-40°C) during fruit development. Cool nights and warm days are ideal for the accumulation of sugars in the fruits. Maturity is hastened if nights are warm. The average temperature for growth should be around 30-35°C with a maximum of around 40°C and a minimum of between 20 and 25°C. The optimum temperature range of 18-25°C is required for germination
