Abstract:

In order to enrich the variety types of melons in the central Zhejiang region and meet local market demand,this study conducted a trial planting of seven melon varieties,namely Yongtian No.5,Xinmei 115,Xinyumei,Qinghua Mibao,Meifeng,Dayulu,and Shenzhouyihao F1 in Pujiang County. The results showed that there were varying degrees of differences in the growth characteristics,growth performance,and main fruit traits(including fruit shape,flesh color,and flavor)among the seven melon varieties. Overall,they showed strong adaptability,easy fruiting,and good marketability. Among them,oriental melon Qinghua Mibao had superior fruit quality and high yield,and is recommended for popularization and application in this region along with supporting cultivation techniques. Besides,muskmelon variety Xinyumei had certain advantages in terms of growth,disease resistance,taste,and yield,and can be further tested in local area.
