Abstract:
Aims: It was aimed to determine some yield and quality characteristics of 85 hybrid melon cultivar candidates in Konya, which is one of the most Altınbaş melon growing regions of Turkey.Methods and Results: This study was carried out in the research and application area of Selçuk University Faculty of Agriculture between May and August 2021. In the experiment, 85 Altınbaş hybrid melon cultivar candidates, obtained as a result of crosses with genotypes showing superior characteristics from a large genetic pool, were used by Selko-Tarim company, which carries out R & amp;D studies on different vegetable species in Antalya. There was a positive correlation between the yield per plant and the number of fruits and fruit length that directly affect the yield. In addition, while the increase in fruit number caused a decrease in fruit weight, a negative significant correlation was found between these two characteristics.Conclusions: As a result of PCA, the study was explained as high as 75.94% in 6 components. It was determined that hybrid melon cultivar candidates 73, 61, 35, 27, 23, 18 and 30, located at the positive intersection of the components of PC3 and PC4, showed superior characteristics in terms of yield and fruit quality and were promising genotypes.Significance and Impact of the Study: Some yield and quality characteristics of 85 hybrid melon cultivar candidates were revealed in Konya ecological conditions.
