Abstract:
Birdsnest muskmelon plant introductions were compared with vine cultivars and short-internode (bush) breeding-lines with regard to vegetative growth, flowering characteristics, and concentration of fruit set and yield. Emergence and early vegetative development generally were fastest in the birdsnest introductions, especially under cool temperatures. They had a compact appearance, attributable in part to simultaneous expansion and upward growth of the primary branches. They were light green, with large, unlobed, thin leaves which contained less chlorophyll per unit leaf area than those of vine cultivars and short-internode lines. Persia 202, a birdsnest introduction, and 'Noy Yizre'el', a vine cultivar, had a similar ratio of staminate to perfect flowers, but lower than that of 2 short-internode lines tested. However, in Persia 202, production of perfect flowers ceased within 15 days from the opening of the first perfect flower. Persia 202 had a more concentrated fruit set and yield than either 'Noy Yizre'el' or short-internode breeding-line U.C. Perlita Bush. © 1983.
