| Abstract: In order to screen out new melon cultivars with high quality, good commodity and suitable for planting in Jinta county, improve the market competitiveness of Jinta melon and meet the public's demand for melon, 14 new melon cultivars were introduced to conduct the comparative tests on their growth period, disease resistance, sugar content, commodity and yield. The results showed that the central sugar content of thick-skinned melon 'Meisimi No.25' and '34-248' reached 17.5%, and the central sugar content of the thin-skinned melon 'Tianmi Cuili' was the highest, which was 18.5%. These three cultivars had high sugar content, good taste and good quality, which could become high-grade cultivars to go into high-end boutique market. The yield of thick-skinned melon '34-140' was high, reaching 4 360 kg per 667 m2 , and that of thin-skinned melon 'Jingyu Huangliuxing' was up to 5 040 kg per 667 m2 . These two cultivars had good yield and high commercial rate, which could be high-quality cultivars to go into the mass market. |
