Abstract: Under different cultivation condition, the melon fruit nutrient quality simulation model depending accumulated temperature, accumulated daily temperature differences were studied and established. The model showed that the sucrose, citrate accumulation and sugar acid ratio had logistic function with effective accumulated temperature. The constant term of the function was driven by accumulative daily temperature difference, which showed a linear relation. Experiment test showed that the models were able to objectively simulate the changes of fruit sucrose, citrate accumulation and sugar acid ratio during the fruit development, which means that it had practical value for the accurate prevention harvest date of melon fruit in high quality.

Key words: Melon fruit, Sucrose, Citrate, Sugar acid ratio, Effective accumulative temperature, Accumulated daily difference in temperature, Simulate model
