Abstract
The objective of this experiment was to evaluate and characterize horticultural
traits of introduced and PKBT‟s melon hybrids and to identify the potential
PKBT‟s hybrids compare to those of the commercial introduced hybrids. The
experiment was conducted at KP IPB Tajur 2 from September to November 2009
using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The genotype
variability was analyzed using analysis of variance method. The result showed
that there are significant differences for all characters. H150 is a PKBT‟s
Cantaloupe melon hybrid that had a high TSS (10.02% Brix) and skin hardnes.
H7, an Inodorus cultivar, has some potential characteristics. This hybrid has the
highest TSS (10.50% Brix) than the other Inodorus hybrids. PKBT‟s hybrids has
harder fruit and higher TSS but has longer day to harvest than introduced hybrids.
Var. Cantaloupensis has higher skin hardness but has lower fruit weight and
longer harvest day than var. Inodorus.
