description | Melon is responsive to the cultivation environment and the production techniques that are used, factors crucial for obtaining high quality fruits. The objective of this research was to study the vegetative growth, productive potential and quality of Cantaloupe melon fruits as a function of a reduction of spacing in two growing environments. Using a randomized block design, melon plants (cv. Trinity) were cultivated in an open field and a protected environment, with five different spacing between plants (15, 25, 35, 45 and 55 cm). It was observed that the plant growth rates, leaf emission rate, thickness of bark and pulp, total soluble solids content, and ratio were higher with the protected cultivation. For spacing, the increase influenced, in a linear and positive manner, the characteristics of dry mass of plants, fresh mass of fruits and thickness of the pulp. However, increasing the plant density increased productivity. For growth velocity, foliar emission velocity and fruit length and circumference, maximum points were observed when the plants were spaced at 47.50, 53.75, 49.95 and 47.51 cm from each other, respectively. Considering these results, for regions with similar conditions to the present study, the cultivation of the Cantaloupe melon is favored when conducted under protected cultivation conditions, with a plant spacing between 45 and 55 cm. |

A cultura do melão é responsiva ao ambiente de cultivo e às técnicas de produção utilizadas, sendo estes fatores cruciais para a obtenção de frutos de maior qualidade. Desta forma, objetivou-se estudar, o crescimento vegetativo, o potencial produtivo e a qualidade de frutos de meloeiro Cantaloupe em função da redução do espaçamento em dois ambientes de cultivo. Em delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, plantas de meloeiro, cultivar Trinity, foram cultivadas em campo aberto e ambiente protegido, sob cinco espaçamentos entre plantas (15, 25, 35, 45 e 55 cm). Observou-se que a taxa de crescimento de plantas, a taxa de emissão foliar, bem como a espessura de casca e polpa, o teor de sólidos solúveis, e o ratio foram superiores sob cultivo protegido. Em relação aos espaçamentos, verificou-se que seu aumento influenciou, de forma linear e positiva, as características de massa seca de plantas, massa fresca de frutos e espessura da polpa. No entanto, o aumento da densidade de plantas aumentou a produtividade. Para velocidade de crescimento, velocidade de emissão foliar e comprimento e circunferência de fruto constataram-se pontos de máximos de 47,50; 53,75; 49,95 e 47,51 cm, respectivamente. Em vista dos resultados, para regiões com condições semelhantes à do presente estudo, o cultivo do meloeiro Cantaloupe é favorecido em condições de cultivo protegido e espaçamentos entre 45 e 55 cm na linha de plantio.
