Description
Watermelon stored at 50 to 60 °F with a relative humidity of 90% will be acceptable for up to 3 weeks. Watermelons held in dry storage below 75 °F will have approximate shelf life of up to 10 days.
If dry storage temperatures are above 75 °F, shelf life will decline to 5 days. The most important varieties of watermelon in Iran include: Qargh, Khanumi, Sharifabad, Mehboubi and Hamadan white skin. Foreign cultivars (mostly American varieties) of watermelon, some of which have had good results in Iran, include Charleston Gray (known as engineering watermelon in Iran), Block Diamond, Dickies Queen, Fairfax and Chilean Block.
