Abstract

Global climate changes which cause increasing the dry season and impact of decreasing in water resources. Water has an important role in agriculture sector especialy to the process of plant growth and water use efficiency while rainfall harvesting will impact of water quality.Fertigation and using autopot is an alternative of water used efficiency and plant nutrition. Fertigation also will affect the ability of melon (Cucumis melo L) to produce quality of melon especially water use efficiency, carbohydrate, protein, mineral, vitamin C and sweetness. The methode of the research is descriptive analysis. The results showed that rainfall harvesting quality contained pH 5,6; electronic conductivity (EC) 0,22 mS/cm; TDS 3,075 mg/l; TSS 7,0 mg/l; and turbidity 5,29 NTU;all thing appropriate to the melon needs except EC. Fertigation was significant effect to the yield of melon and avarage value of water used efficiency was 93,89% and total sweteness 10% brix; carbohydrate 2,65%; proten 1,94%; fat 0,3%; ash 0,89% and vitamine C 26,18%. In conclusion impact of water rainfall harvesting suitable and could applied for fertigation resources and using auto pot.
