| Abstract | |
The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of 38 net melon genotypes, six parents, 30 experimental hybrids (15 hybrids and 15 reciprocals) and two standard hybrid market, on the characteristics productive. The experiment was conducted in the experimental area of the Sector of Vegetable Crops and Aromatic Medicinal Plants, Faculty of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences, UNESP-Jaboticabal, in a greenhouse, with three replications, each with 38 plots, contained a single row of five plants with spacing between them of 0.5 m and 1 m between lines. The seedlings were performed on August 1st, 2007, in expanded polystyrene trays with 128 pyramidal cells. Transplanting was done when the seedlings showed the first non-cotyledon leaf. The plants were grown on the substrate of the shell of coconut fiber, and the irrigation and fertilization carried out jointly by fertirrigation. The harvest was conducted during December, and the following factors were evaluated: total production, transverse and longitudinal diameters of fruit, format index of fruit, transverse and longitudinal diameters of locule, format index of locule, insertion diameters, earliness, concentration of harvest. There was performed an analysis of variance to each feature and comparison between the average test of Scott-Knott at 5% probability. Based on the findings it was concluded that the experimental hybrids 4, 23, 24, 26 and 28 have the best performance and were similar to commercial hybrids. (AU) | |
