Abstract

In order to explore the effects of pruning ways on the growth,yield and quality of melon(Cucumis melo L.var.makuwa Makino),the flowering period,fruit-bearing rate,single melon weight,yield and soluble solid content of nine cultivars of melon planted in the large plastic house with single chief vine pruning were compared,secondary vine pruning or double secondary vine pruning were compared.The results indicated that : the blossom fruit period of the nine cultivars with the single chief vine pruning was 1~3days later than those of the others.The order of fruit-bearing rate was secondary vine pruningdouble secondary vine pruningsingle chief vine pruning.The yields of majority cultivars with double secondary vine pruning and single secondary vine pruning were higher than that of chief vine pruning.However,the pruning ways slightly affected the single melon weight and soluble solid content of melon.
