ABSTRACT
The performance of muskmelon hybrids under northern dry zone of Karnataka was carried out in experimental block of university of horticultural sciences, Bagalkot. In this research growth, yield and quality parameters were analysed for 8 muskmelon hybrids with one commercial check and also the correlation among the parameters are estimated for sixteen different growths, yield and quality attributing characters. Vine length, number of branches per plant and number of leaves per plant are having positive association with number of fruit per plant and total sugars. Vitamin C is negatively associated with vine length, number of branches per plant and number of leaves per plant, fruit weight flesh thickness and yield. Fruit weight and yield negatively correlated with node to first flowering, days to first female flower and sex ratio. Vitamin C is negatively associated with total sugars, where the total sugars highly positive significant with total soluble solids (0 Brix).
Key words: Muskmelon, Correlation, Quality, Hybrids.
