Image Descriptor Description
1571761 Field Preparation Early production of cantaloupe in the desert southwestern U.S. uses a mid-bed trench system.  The field is seeded in a trench in the top of the bed and covered in plastic to form a miniature greenhouse.  This protects plants from frost and heats soil to promote quick germination.  As plants enlarge, plastic will be removed.  January 1996
