Abstract
The subsurface drip irrigation and mulch are modern techniques in melon irrigation that try to reduce water consume. However, there are few studies about it, since it is difficult to evaluate melon's quantitative and qualitative characteristics. The aim of this work is to study such characteristics on melons under subsurface drip irrigation and mulch in clayey soil. The effects of mulch on agronomic parameters were more evident than those of subsurface drip irrigation. Mulch increased fruit weight, productivity, longitudinal and transversal diameter, pulp thickness and soluble solid content, besides providing crop's precocious growth.Downloads
