“…Corroborating with the present results, the reduction in fruit size and productivity were also observed by LI et al, (2009);ZENG et al, (2009) andSHARMA et al, (2014), when submitted melon plants to different conditions of drought, finding higher yields for treatments where the soil was kept under better soil moisture conditions. CABELLO et al, (2009) studied the effect of water stress on the yield of melons cv.…”

“…Some surveys have shown that the melon is sensitive to drought with reduced production and size of the fruit if grown with water restriction (DANTAS et al, 2011;ZENG et al, 2009;CABELLO et al, 2009;LI et al, 2012). Moreover, water excess in the soil may result to reduced productivity, and quality problems on fruits in different cultures (CABELLO et al, 2009;OLIVEIRA et al, 2011;CARVALHO et al, 2011;SANTANA et al, 2009;DOGAN et al, 2008).…”

ABSTRACT:The study aimed to evaluate the "Gália" melons productive characteristics grown in greenhouse under different irrigation levels, and conducted with and without soil cover by plastic mulching. Experiments I (WC) and II (WtC) were conducted simultaneously in a protected environment, using a completely randomized design (CRD), where plants of Gália melons (Hybrid Nectar cv.) received five levels of water depth defined by 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150% of evapotranspiration (water requirement), with four replications, differing only by utilization (WC) or not (WtC) of plastic mulching. The results showed that the variables productivity, average weight, length and diameter of the fruits were affected by different levels of water replacement in the soil regardless the use or not of the soil cover. The largest reductions in productivity 46.32 and 32.03% were observed for the treatment of 50%, compared to the treatment of 100% for experiments I (WtC) and II (WC), respectively.

“…Li et al (2012) and Zeng et al (2009) obtained higher yields, 27.45 and 17.1 t ha -1 , for the water depths of 178.6 and 210 mm, respectively. The water depths applied by these authors were similar to those in the present study; however, the mean yields obtained were inferior.…”

“…Some studies have demonstrated that melon is sensitive to water deficit, showing a consequent reduction in production and size of the fruits under this condition (Dantas et al, 2011;Zeng et al, 2009;Cabello et al, 2009;Li et al, 2012). On the other hand, excessive water in the soil can cause, besides yield reduction, problems of fruit quality in different crops Carvalho et al, 2011;Dogan et al, 2008).…”

A B S T R A C TThe objective of this study was to analyze technically and economically the irrigated 'Gália' melon (Hybrid Nectar), cultivated in greenhouse with and without using plastic mulch covering on the soil. Simultaneously, two experiments were conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD), in which melon plants were submitted to five water availability levels, defined by 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150% of crop evapotranspiration, with four replicates. The difference between experiments were only about the soil covering with plastic mulch: with (CC) or without (SC) plastic mulch. The economically optimal irrigation depths were 208.83 and 186.88 mm, resulting in yields of 50.85 and 44.51 t ha -1 for the experiments with and without mulching, respectively. The results showing the economically optimal irrigation depths were very close to those that produced the highest yield.Análise econômica da irrigação do meloeiro Gália em ambiente protegido com e sem mulching R E S U M O O objetivo do trabalho foi analisar, técnica e economicamente, a cultura do meloeiro rendilhado cultivado em ambiente protegido. Foram realizados simultaneamente dois experimentos utilizando-se delineamento inteiramente casualizado (DIC) cujas plantas do melão tipo Gália foram submetidas a cinco lâminas de irrigação definidas por 50, 75, 100, 125 e 150%, da evapotranspiração da cultura, com quatro repetições. Os experimentos se diferenciaram apenas pelo não uso (SC) ou uso (CC) de cobertura plástica do solo (mulching). As lâminas de água ótimas economicamente foram 208,83 e 186,88 mm, que resultaram nas produtividades de 50,85 e 44,51 t ha -1 para os experimentos SC e CC, respectivamente. Os resultados permitiram concluir que as lâminas ótimas econômicas ficaram bastante próximas daquelas que produziram as maiores produções físicas, para ambos os experimentos.
