Comparação entre genótipos de melão no município de Paulista, PB.

Abstract

The experiment had as objective to evaluate different ancestries of melons, compared with the commercial genotype Eldorado 300, how much to the productive and qualitative aspects, in the Paulista, PB. The work was carried from September to December of 2008, in Riacho das Onças famer, localized the left edge of the River Piranhas about 8 km of the headquarters. The design was randomized block, with four repetitions, was evaluated six genotypes (ancestries) of yellow melons (CNPH 131, CNPH 132, CNPH 133, CNPH 134, CNPH 135, CNPH 136) and a commercial genotype (Eldorado 300). The experiment was carried through in an área of 256 m:, with 280 plants. The experimental parcel had 2 m of width x 4 length m, totalizing 8 m:, contend 10 plants, of which four had been used, it was evaluated: Number of fruits por plant(NEP), Average weight of Fruit (AWF), Total Production (TP), Commercial Production (CP), Not Commercial Production (NCP), Fruit shape Index (DL/DT), Mesocarp Thickness (MT), Longitudinal Diameter (LD), Transversal Diameter (TD), Soluble Solids Contend (SSC) and Tritritable Acidity (TTA). How much to the productive aspects and the format all the genotypes had been similar the Eldorado 300. Although to differ between it self in the soluble solid contend and tritritable acidity in the test genotypes had been similar to Eldorado 300, revealing with characteristic quantitative and qualitative satisfactory to be explored in the Paulista - PB.
