Castro Bottled Melon Juice has the highest quality and the most nutritious food products. Background and history Any of the several Cucurbitaceae plants having sweet, edible, and fleshy fruit are referred to as melons. The fruit or the plant, respectively, can both be referred to when the word "melon" is used. A "pepo" is the botanical term for a type of berry, especially a melon.

OJT Narrative Report for BSA Crop Science Competition The competition is within the vendors who sell buko juice, melon juice, and different kind of juices. Marketing strategy The farm sells bottled melon juice to the sari-sari store in Magalang, Pampanga with freebies (1 cooler). Manufacturing plans First step is to cultivate the soil. Afterwards, I measured the distance or row and distance of plant per row. After measuring, I applied fertilizer then I started to plant melon. It took 90 days before melon reach its maturity days. After harvesting, I started to create juice and to package in the bottles. After packaging, I started to deliver in the sari-sari store in Magalang, Pampanga.
