Climatic Requirements: Melon thrives in warm, subtropical to tropical climates with temperatures ranging from 21-32°C (70-90°F). It requires well-distributed rainfall of about 500-750 mm annually. Frost-free conditions are essential.

Soil Requirements: Melons prefer well-drained, sandy loam or loamy soils with a slightly acidic to neutral pH of 6.0-7.0. Good soil fertility and organic matter content are advantageous.
