Abstract

The weight,netting,sugar contents and yields were compared to investigate the effects of different pruning and fruit thinning methods for Jinhaimi melon. The results showed that 2 vines per plant with main branch bearing one fruit was the best among the treatments tested. This pruning and fruit thinning can be used for commercial production of Jinhaimi melon.
