Determinaton of some agricultural properties in mini watermelon hybrid candidates

This thesis study has been conducted to determine some agricultural features of different mini watermelon variety candidates and to introduce them to the region and country. In this researh, 8 mini watermelon variety candidates were used as plant material. Bonanza Fı variety also used as control. First and 50 % flowering period, first branching dates, main stem length, main stem diameter, number of nods on main stem, total yield, average fruit weight, average fruit height, average fruit diameter, fruit rind thickness, TSS analysis, weight of 1000 seeds were measured. According to the research result, IBAx10, 15x19, IBAx21, IBAx29 and 29x15 variety candidates took first places for their yield performance. As comparing TSS analysis, IBAx10 and IBAx21 variety candidates had the highest TSS content.
