Abstract
A 33 factorial experiment with nitrogen (0,60, 120 kg/ha), P^ (0, 45, 90
kg/ha) and KaO (0, 45, 90 kg/ha) was laid out to find out optimum and economic
levels of the above nutrients for maximising fruit yield in oriental pickling melon.
Response to nitrogen was observed to be quadratic and the optimum level was
calculated as 96.6 kg/ha and the economic level as 45.38 kg/ha. The P206 application
produced no significant effects in melon for different characters studied.
Response to K20 was linear.
