Abstract: Nutrient solution uptake by muskmelon was 0 41 litre daily per plant from planting to harvest in DFT.Uptake of nutrient solution wasn't reduced remarkably until harvest.The uptake of K,Ca,Mg,P and the solution varied similarly in different growth periods.The capacity of uptake was found higher after pollination,the highest within 10 days after the final fruit thinning,and reduced rapidly afterwards.However,the highest value of K uptake appeared a week in advance of other.According to the optional concentrations for macro elements uptake by muskmelon,the appropriate solution formula was proposed.

Key words: Muskmelon, Nutrient Solution, Macro elements uptake
