EVALUATION OF MELON CULTIVARS (Cucumis melo L.) IN PROTECTED ENVIRONMENT
Keywords:
cultivars, greenhouse, conservationAbstract
Five cultivars of different types of melon (Ctecumis melo 1.) were evaluated in protected environment in vertical trai ni ng system, with fertilization and irrigation by dropping, during summer time. The results showed that production of the cultivars was similar, with si gnificant differences in the number and weigt of fruits. A negative correlation between number of fruits and fruit weight was observed. The cultivar of cantaloupe type and the cultivars of gal ia type exhibited low conservation after harvest, confirming the need of an accurate system for identification of harvest point to allow fruit commercialization.
