description | The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects on plant development, productivity and fruit quality from combinations of planting methods, nitrogen fertilizer applications and inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense in Cantaloupe melons cultivated in a protected environment. A randomized blocks design was adopted with a 2×2×2 factorial scheme with five replications. The treatments consisted of combinations of planting methods (pre-established seedlings or direct field sowing), inoculation with A. brasilense (with or without) and nitrogen fertilization (with and without). During the vegetative phase, the height, stem diameter, number and length of plant internodes and relative chlorophyll content were evaluated. Fifty-five days after planting, the leaf nitrogen content, leaf area and dry mass were measured. At harvest, the number of days between planting and harvesting was calculated, and the fresh weight, circumference, length, bark and pulp thickness and fruit productivity were evaluated. It was verified that A. brasilense did not affect any of the evaluated characteristics. On the other hand, direct field seed sowing decreased the production time and provided good plant development. However, the size and productivity of the fruits were higher when pre-established seedlings were used, with or without inoculation with A. brasilense, fertilized with nitrogen. It was concluded that the combinations of the different sowing methods, nitrogen fertilization and inoculation with A. brasilense affected the development and characteristics of the Cantaloupe melon plants and fruits. |

El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar los efectos sobre el crecimiento de las plantas, la productividad y la calidad de la fruta estudiando la combinación entre el sistema de siembra, fertilización con nitrógeno e inoculación con Azospirillum brasilense en melón cantaloupe cultivado en ambiente protegido. Se utilizó un diseño de bloques completos al azar en esquema factorial de 2×2×2, con cinco repeticiones. Los tratamientos correspondieron a: sistemas de siembra (trasplante de plántulas o siembra directa), inoculación con Azospirillum brasilense (con o sin) y fertilización con nitrógeno (con y sin). Durante la fase vegetativa, se evaluaron la altura, diámetro del cuello, número y longitud de entrenudos, así como el contenido relativo de clorofila total. También se obtuvo a los 55 días de la siembra el contenido de nitrógeno foliar, el área foliar y la masa seca. En la cosecha, se calculó el número de días entre la siembra y la cosecha, junto con la masa fresca, circunferencia, longitud, grosor de la corteza y pulpa, y el rendimiento de la fruta. Se verificó que la inoculación con A. brasiliense no alteró ninguna de las características evaluadas. Por otro lado, la siembra directa en el campo disminuyó el tiempo de producción y proporcionó un mejor desarrollo de las plantas. Sin embargo, el trasplante de plántulas y la fertilización con nitrógeno, incrementó el tamaño y la productividad de las frutas de melón Cantaloupe. Se concluyó que la combinación entre diferentes métodos de siembra, fertilización nitrogenada e inoculación con A. brasilense afecta el desarrollo y las características de las plantas y frutos de melón Cantaloupe.
